We currently use a spinlock (bit_lock) around operations that clock bits out of the FSI bus, and a mutex to protect against simultaneous access to the master. This means that bit_lock isn't needed for mutual exlusion, only to prevent timing issues when clocking bits out. To reflect this, this change converts bit_lock to just the local_irq_save/restore operation.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
