commit c6b570d97c0e77f570bb6b2ed30d372b2b1e9aae upstream.

This patch fixes a NULL pointer dereference when enabling regmap event
tracing in the presence of a syscon regmap, introduced by commit bdb0066df96e
("mfd: syscon: Decouple syscon interface from platform devices").
That patch introduced syscon regmaps that have their dev field set to NULL.
The regmap trace events expect it to point to a valid struct device and feed
it to dev_name():

this patch change struct regmap-&gt;mutex and struct regmap-&gt;spinlock
as an union, because these 2 members are only used one of them,
we change it to shrink the struct size.

<title>regmap: Fix regcache debugfs initialization</title>

Commit 6cfec04bcc05 ("regmap: Separate regmap dev initialization") moved the
regmap debugfs initialization after regcache initialization. This means
that the regmap debugfs directory is not created yet when the cache
initialization runs and so any debugfs files registered by the regcache are
created in the debugfs root directory rather than the debugfs directory of
the regmap instance. Fix this by adding a separate callback for the
regcache debugfs initialization which will be called after the parent
debugfs entry has been created.

This is the implementation of regmap_multi_reg_write()

There is a new capability 'can_multi_write' that device drivers
must set in order to use this multi reg write mode.

This replaces the first definition, which just defined the API.

Rather than passing a flag around through the entire call stack store it
in the regmap struct and read it when required. This minimises the
visibility of the feature through the API, minimising the code updates
needed to use it more widely.

Rather than allocating and deallocating the structures used to manage async
transfers each time we do one keep the structures around as long as the
regmap is around. This should provide a small performance improvement.

Current Linux kernel is supporting regmap_field method
and it is very useful feature.
It needs one regmap_filed for one register access.

OTOH, there is multi port device which
has many same registers in the market.
The difference for each register access is
only its address offset.

Current API needs many regmap_field for such device,
but it is not good.
This patch adds new regmap_fileds API which can care
about multi port/offset access via regmap.

<title>regmap: rbtree: Make cache_present bitmap per node</title>

<id>3f4ff561bc88b074d5e868dde4012d89cbb06c87</id>
<content type='text'>
With devices which have a dense and small register map but placed at a large
offset the global cache_present bitmap imposes a huge memory overhead. Making
the cache_present per rbtree node avoids the issue and easily reduces the memory
footprint by a factor of ten. For devices with a more sparse map or without a
large base register offset the memory usage might increase slightly by a few
bytes, but not significantly. E.g. for a device which has ~50 registers at
offset 0x4000 the memory footprint of the register cache goes down form 2496
bytes to 175 bytes.

Moving the bitmap to a per node basis means that the handling of the bitmap is
now cache implementation specific and can no longer be managed by the core. The
regcache_sync_block() function is extended by a additional parameter so that the
cache implementation can tell the core which registers in the block are set and
which are not. The parameter is optional and if NULL the core assumes that all
registers are set. The rbtree cache also needs to implement its own drop
callback instead of relying on the core to handle this.
