SubjectRe: BUG: spinlock trylock failure on UP, i.MX28 3.12.15-rt25

this is, erm, harmless. We grab the timer lock via trylock in hardirq
context. If the lock is already taken then we fail to get it we go for
plan B. According to lockdep a trylock should not fail on UP. This is
true in general except for this timer case. I was thinking abour
disabling this lockdep check…
