The PTP Hardware Clock (PHC) subsystem offers an API for configuring programmable pins. User space sets or gets the settings using ioctls, and drivers verify dialed settings via a callback. Drivers may also query pin settings by calling the ptp_find_pin() method. Although the core subsystem protects concurrent access to the pin settings, the implementation places illogical restrictions on how drivers may call ptp_find_pin(). When enabling an auxiliary function via the .enable(on=1) callback, drivers may invoke the pin finding method, but when disabling with .enable(on=0) drivers are not permitted to do so. With the exception of the mv88e6xxx, all of the PHC drivers do respect this restriction, but still the locking pattern is both confusing and unnecessary. This patch changes the locking implementation to allow PHC drivers to freely call ptp_find_pin() from their .enable() and .verify() callbacks.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
