The usage model also needs to be documented in the .c files or
somewhere in Documentation/.  You can use the kernel doc format to
document the usage of each function in the .c file.

The locking operations have no dependency on the spi_device.  Rename
bus_lock_chipselect to bus_lock_flag.

Move the definitions of spi_async() and spi_async_locked() to here,
right below the __spi_async() definition.

Instead of obtaining the spinlock here, both spi_sync() and
spi_sync_locked() can call spi_async_locked() directly (assuming the
chipselect # check is removed from spi_async_locked() as per my
comment below.

spi_sync() and spi_sync_locked() are largely idenical.  Only
difference is that spi_sync() needs to obtain the mutex.  Rename
spi_sync() to __spi_sync() and add a 'get_lock' flag parameter.  Then
make spi_sync() and spi_sync_locked() call __spi_sync() with the flag
set appropriately.

Don't check the cs#.  There is no need for the cs to be associated
with the lock.  Make this simply:

if (master->bus_lock_flag)
        ret = -EBUSY;
else
        ret = __spi_async(spi, message);

You can drop the comment here too; or at the very least move it into
the header block for the function.

This version shouldn't check the flag at all.  Just call __spi_async()
unconditionally.  Taking the spin lock probably isn't necessary, but
it is probably wise to keep the locking model consistent.

On further reflection, pass in the spi_master to this function.  The
lock is bus-wide, and doesn't care about what device is used, as long
as the caller is the one holding the lock.  ie. a caller could
potentially have more than one spi_device that it would want to use
while holding the bus lock.

Always grab the mutex first.  Otherwise you could get a deadlock.

make this simply master->bus_lock_flag = 1;

Ditto here, pass in spi_master*

Unlock doesn't need to grab the spinlock.  It can just clear the flag
and release the mutex.

Please keep return parameters and annotations on the same line as the
function name (makes grep results more useful).  You can break lines
between parameters.
