I've tested it on csky SMP*4 hw (860) & riscv SMP*4 hw (c910) and it's okay.

Hope you can keep
typedef struct {
        union {
                atomic_t lock;
                struct __raw_tickets {
#ifdef __BIG_ENDIAN
                        u16 next;
                        u16 owner;
#else
                        u16 owner;
                        u16 next;
#endif
                } tickets;
        };
} arch_spinlock_t;

Using owner & next is much more readable.

How big-endian ?

return (tickets.next - tickets.owner) > 1;

Are you sure to let ticket_is_locked->atomic_read(lock) again, the
lock has contained all information?

return lock.tickets.owner == lock.tickets.next;
