net: stmmac: Use mutex instead of spinlock
Some drivers, such as DWC EQOS on Tegra, need to perform operations that can sleep under this lock (clk_set_rate() in tegra_eqos_fix_speed()) for proper operation. Since there is no need for this lock to be a spinlock, convert it to a mutex instead.

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.
