Fails when the mutex was already locked.
Implemented zyp's fix for broken mutex. If it's 1 (= failure) by default, the function works fine.
irc log for reference
```
<zyp> strex returns 1 if it fails, 0 if it's successful
<zyp> but if the mutex is already locked, line 57 skips the status update and status gets remains at the initial value which means successful, which is wrong
<zyp> changing line 54 to status = 1 should do the trick
```
We are currently using the same code for CM0 CM3 and CM4 cores. This
patch is a bodge that disables sync on the LPC43xx/M0 core, it would be
nicer to probably implement a dispatch system similar to the one used in
stm32 peripheral support so that we can accomodate the different
features of the cortex cores. I (esden) assume we will run into more
incompatibilities in the future between the cortex cores.
Added --terse and --mailback options to the make stylecheck target. It
also does continue even if it enounters a possible error.
We decided on two exceptions from the linux kernel coding standard:
- Empty wait while loops may end with ; on the same line.
- All blocks after while, if, for have to be in brackets even if they
only contain one statement. Otherwise it is easy to introduce an
error.
Checkpatch needs to be adapted to reflect those changes.
