Pull DeviceTree updates from Rob Herring:

 - remove most of_platform_populate() calls in arch code.  Now the DT
   core code calls it in the default case and platforms only need to
   call it if they have special needs

 - use pr_fmt on all the DT core print statements

 - CoreSight binding doc improvements to block name descriptions

 - add dt_to_config script which can parse dts files and list
   corresponding kernel config options

 - fix memory leak hit with a PowerMac DT

 - correct a bunch of STMicro compatible strings to use the correct
   vendor prefix

 - fix DA9052 PMIC binding doc to match what is actually used in dts
   files

Move xen_early_init() before efi_init(), then when calling efi_init()
could initialize Xen specific UEFI.

Check if it runs on Xen hypervisor through the flat dts.

<title>arm64: mm: fix location of _etext</title>

<content type='text'>
As Kees Cook notes in the ARM counterpart of this patch [0]:

  The _etext position is defined to be the end of the kernel text code,
  and should not include any part of the data segments. This interferes
  with things that might check memory ranges and expect executable code
  up to _etext.

In particular, Kees is referring to the HARDENED_USERCOPY patch set [1],
which rejects attempts to call copy_to_user() on kernel ranges containing
executable code, but does allow access to the .rodata segment. Regardless
of whether one may or may not agree with the distinction, it makes sense
for _etext to have the same meaning across architectures.

So let's put _etext where it belongs, between .text and .rodata, and fix
up existing references to use __init_begin instead, which unlike _end_rodata
includes the exception and notes sections as well.

The _etext references in kaslr.c are left untouched, since its references
to [_stext, _etext) are meant to capture potential jump instruction targets,
and so disregarding .rodata is actually an improvement here.

The of_iommu_init() is called multiple times by arch code,
make it postcore_initcall_sync, then we can drop relevant
calls fully.

Note, the IOMMUs should have a chance to perform some basic
initialisation before we start adding masters to them. So
postcore_initcall_sync is good choice, it ensures of_iommu_init()
called before of_platform_populate.

This patch adds support for ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE for ARM64

To access initrd image we need to move initialization
of linear mapping a bit earlier.

The implementation of the feature acpi_table_upgrade()
(drivers/acpi/tables.c) works with initrd data represented as an array
in virtual memory.  It uses some library utility to find the redefined
tables in that array and iterates over it to copy the data to new
allocated memory.  So to access the initrd data via fixmap
we need to rewrite it considerably.

In x86 arch, kernel memory is already mapped by the time when
acpi_table_upgrade() and acpi_boot_table_init() are called so I
think that we can just move this mapping one function earlier too.

<title>arm64: Change cpu_resume() to enable mmu early then access sleep_sp by va</title>

By enabling the MMU early in cpu_resume(), the sleep_save_sp and stack can
be accessed by VA, which avoids the need to convert-addresses and clean to
PoC on the suspend path.

MMU setup is shared with the boot path, meaning the swapper_pg_dir is
restored directly: ttbr1_el1 is no longer saved/restored.

struct sleep_save_sp is removed, replacing it with a single array of
pointers.

cpu_do_{suspend,resume} could be further reduced to not restore: cpacr_el1,
mdscr_el1, tcr_el1, vbar_el1 and sctlr_el1, all of which are set by
__cpu_setup(). However these values all contain res0 bits that may be used
to enable future features.

Attempt to get the memory and CPU NUMA node via of_numa.  If that
fails, default the dummy NUMA node and map all memory and CPUs to node
0.
