Pull generic ioremap support from Christoph Hellwig:
 "This adds the remaining bits for an entirely generic ioremap and
  iounmap to lib/ioremap.c. To facilitate that, it cleans up the giant
  mess of weird ioremap variants we had with no users outside the arch
  code.

  For now just the three newest ports use the code, but there is more
  than a handful others that can be converted without too much work.

  Summary:

   - clean up various obsolete ioremap and iounmap variants

   - add a new generic ioremap implementation and switch csky, nds32 and
     riscv over to it"

* tag 'ioremap-5.5' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/ioremap: (21 commits)
  nds32: use generic ioremap
  csky: use generic ioremap
  csky: remove ioremap_cache
  riscv: use the generic ioremap code
  lib: provide a simple generic ioremap implementation
  sh: remove __iounmap
  nios2: remove __iounmap

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the "big" set of driver core patches for 5.5-rc1

  There's a few minor cleanups and fixes in here, but the majority of
  the patches in here fall into two buckets:

   - debugfs api cleanups and fixes

   - driver core device link support for boot dependancy issues

  The debugfs api cleanups are working to slowly refactor the debugfs
  apis so that it is even harder to use incorrectly. That work has been
  happening for the past few kernel releases and will continue over
  time, it's a long-term project/goal

  The driver core device link support missed 5.4 by just a bit, so it's
  been sitting and baking for many months now. It's from Saravana Kannan
  to help resolve the problems that DT-based systems have at boot time
  with dependancy graphs and kernel modules. Turns out that no one has
  actually tried to build a generic arm64 kernel with loads of modules
  and have it "just work" for a variety of platforms (like a distro
  kernel). The big problem turned out to be a lack of dependency
  information between different areas of DT entries, and the work here
  resolves that problem and now allows devices to boot properly, and
  quicker than a monolith kernel.

  All of these patches have been in linux-next for a long time with no
  reported issues"

The definitions for bit field [19:18] of the Peripheral Function Select
Register 3 were accidentally copied from bit field [20], leading to
duplicates for the TCLK1_B function, and missing TCLK0, CAN_CLK_B, and
ET0_ETXD4 functions.

Fix this by adding the missing GPIO_FN_CAN_CLK_B and GPIO_FN_ET0_ETXD4
enum values, and correcting the functions.

to implementing new early platform framework based on real platform
devices, prefix all early platform symbols with 'sh_'.

SuperH is the only user of the current implementation of early platform
device support. We want to introduce a more robust approach to early
probing. As the first step - move all the current early platform code
to arch/sh.

In order not to export internal drivers/base functions to arch code for
this temporary solution - copy the two needed routines for driver
matching from drivers/base/platform.c to arch/sh/drivers/platform_early.c.

Also: call early_platform_cleanup() from subsys_initcall() so that it's
called after all early devices are probed.

<title>mm: treewide: clarify pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() naming</title>

The naming of pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() seems to have confused a few
people, and until recently arm64 used these erroneously/pointlessly for
other levels of page table.

To make it incredibly clear that these only apply to the PTE level, and to
align with the naming of pgtable_pmd_page_{ctor,dtor}(), let's rename them
to pgtable_pte_page_{ctor,dtor}().

These changes were generated with the following shell script:

----
git grep -lw 'pgtable_page_.tor' | while read FILE; do
    sed -i '{s/pgtable_page_ctor/pgtable_pte_page_ctor/}' $FILE;
    sed -i '{s/pgtable_page_dtor/pgtable_pte_page_dtor/}' $FILE;
done
----

... with the documentation re-flowed to remain under 80 columns, and
whitespace fixed up in macros to keep backslashes aligned.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Both pgtable_cache_init() and pgd_cache_init() are used to initialize kmem
cache for page table allocations on several architectures that do not use
PAGE_SIZE tables for one or more levels of the page table hierarchy.

Most architectures do not implement these functions and use __weak default
NOP implementation of pgd_cache_init().  Since there is no such default
for pgtable_cache_init(), its empty stub is duplicated among most
architectures.

Rename the definitions of pgd_cache_init() to pgtable_cache_init() and
drop empty stubs of pgtable_cache_init().

The sh implementation pte_alloc_one(), pte_alloc_one_kernel(),
pte_free_kernel() and pte_free() is identical to the generic except of
lack of __GFP_ACCOUNT for the user PTEs allocation.

Switch sh to use generic version of these functions.

Patch series "mm: remove quicklist page table caches".

A while ago Nicholas proposed to remove quicklist page table caches [1].

I've rebased his patch on the curren upstream and switched ia64 and sh to
use generic versions of PTE allocation.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190711030339.20892-1-npiggin@gmail.com

This patch (of 3):

Remove page table allocator "quicklists".  These have been around for a
long time, but have not got much traction in the last decade and are only
used on ia64 and sh architectures.

The numbers in the initial commit look interesting but probably don't
apply anymore.  If anybody wants to resurrect this it's in the git
history, but it's unhelpful to have this code and divergent allocator
behaviour for minor archs.

Also it might be better to instead make more general improvements to page
allocator if this is still so slow.
