The mrst_max3110.c driver uses an open coded, non atomic variable
to create exclusion between two of its worker threads. More than that,
while the main thread does a proper set-work-clear sequence,
the other thread only does a test, with the result that no actual
exclusion is happening.
this patch replaces this open coded variable with a proper mutex
in addition, the 'lock' spinlock is removed from the per adapter structure,
the lock was only ever initialized but never used

MAX3111 is the SPI/UART IC installed on the MRST SPI Port Card as a serial
debug goal, and the SPI Port Card will be frequently mounted and unmounted
from the main board by developers depending whether debug serial is
required or not.
As the MAX3111 has no subvendor or product id registers available, the patch
will try to access one register to decide if this IC is present or not.
