    Checkpatch will throw an error if code doesn't use the correct initializers
    for static spinlocks:
    
    ERROR: Use of SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED is deprecated: see Documentation/spinlocks.txt
    
    This is fine, but Documentation/spinlocks.txt isn't very clear on how to
    _use_ the new initializers for static variables. To save people time in the
    future, I added two small examples of how to fix old-style static
    initializers to be more lockdep friendly.
