commit 6265539776a0810b7ce6398c27866ddb9c6bd154 upstream.

The driver_override implementation is susceptible to race condition when
different threads are reading vs storing a different driver override.
Add locking to avoid race condition.

<title>of: Add function for generating a DT modalias with a newline</title>

The modalias sysfs attr is lacking a newline for DT aliases on platform
devices. The macio and ibmebus correctly add the newline, but open code it.
Introduce a new function, of_device_modalias(), that fills the buffer with
the modalias including the newline and update users of the old
of_device_get_modalias function.

<title>ACPI: Add support for ResourceSource/IRQ domain mapping</title>

<content type='text'>
ACPI extended IRQ resources may contain a ResourceSource to specify
an alternate interrupt controller. Introduce acpi_irq_get and use it
to implement ResourceSource/IRQ domain mapping.

The new API is similar to of_irq_get and allows re-initialization
of a platform resource from the ACPI extended IRQ resource, and
provides proper behavior for probe deferral when the domain is not
yet present when called.

Sometimes we have the following error message:
 platform MSFT0101:00: failed to claim resource 1
 acpi MSFT0101:00: platform device creation failed: -16
But there is not enough information to figure out which resource range
failed to claim.

Thus print the resource range at first-place thus /proc/iomem or
ioports should tell us who already claimed this resource, then
the driver bug or incorrect resource assignment which is running
into this conflict can be diagnosed:
 platform MSFT0101:00: failed to claim resource 1: [mem 0xfed40000-0xfed40fff]

of_irq_get[_byname]() return 0 iff  irq_create_of_mapping() call fails.
Returning both  error code and 0 on failure is a sign of a misdesigned API,
it makes the failure check unnecessarily complex and error prone. We should
rely  on the platform IRQ resource in this case, not return 0,  especially
as 0 can be  a valid  IRQ resource too...

In platform_device_del(), the device is still used after a call to
device_del(). At this point there is no guarantee that the device is
still there and there could be a use-after-free access. Move the
call to device_remove_properties() before device_del() to fix that.

<title>device property: don't bother the drivers with struct property_set</title>

Since device_add_property_set() now always takes a copy of
the property_set, and also since the fwnode type is always
hard coded to be FWNODE_PDATA, there is no need for the
drivers to deliver the entire struct property_set. The
function can just create the instance of it on its own and
bind the properties from the drivers to it on the spot.

This renames device_add_property_set() to
device_add_properties(). The function now takes struct
property_entry as its parameter instead of struct
property_set.

<content type='text'>
Since b8b2c7d845d5, platform_drv_probe() is called for all platform
devices. If drv-&gt;probe is NULL, and dev_pm_domain_attach() fails,
platform_drv_probe() will return the error code from dev_pm_domain_attach().

This causes real_probe() to enter the "probe_failed" path and set
dev-&gt;driver to NULL. Before b8b2c7d845d5, real_probe() would assume
success if both dev-&gt;bus-&gt;probe and drv-&gt;probe were missing. As a result,
a device and driver could be "bound" together just by matching their names;
this doesn't work any more after b8b2c7d845d5.

This may cause problems later for certain usage of platform_driver_register()
and platform_device_register_simple(). I observed a panic while loading
the tpm_tis driver with parameter "force=1" (i.e. registering tpm_tis as
a platform driver), because tpm_tis_init's assumption that the device
returned by platform_device_register_simple() was bound didn't hold any more
(tpmm_chip_alloc() dereferences chip-&gt;pdev-&gt;driver, causing panic).

This patch restores the previous (4.3.0 and earlier) behavior of
platform_drv_probe() in the case when the associated platform driver has
no "probe" function.
