Not all regmaps have a name so make sure to check for that to avoid
dereferencing a NULL pointer when dev_get_regmap() is used to lookup a
named regmap.

<title>regmap: rbtree: Fix wrong register marked as in-cache when creating new node</title>

<id>7a795ac8d49e2433e1b97caf5e99129daf8e1b08</id>
<content type='text'>
When regcache_rbtree_write() creates a new rbtree_node it was passing the
wrong bit number to regcache_rbtree_set_register(). The bit number is the
offset __in number of registers__, but in the case of creating a new block
regcache_rbtree_write() was not dividing by the address stride to get the
number of registers.

Fix this by dividing by map-&gt;reg_stride.
Compare with regcache_rbtree_read() where the bit is checked.

This bug meant that the wrong register was marked as present. The register
that was written to the cache could not be read from the cache because it
was not marked as cached. But a nearby register could be marked as having
a cached value even if it was never written to the cache.

Bitmaps should be defined as 'unsigned long', not 'long'.
Fix the type of 'cache_present' is the 'struct regcache_rbtree_node'.

Thanks to Dan and Guenter's very prompt updates of the rbtree and maple
caches to support GPF_ATOMIC allocations and since the update shook out
a bunch of users at least some of whom have been suitably careful about
ensuring that the cache is prepoulated so there are no dynamic
allocations after init let's revert the warnings.

Use map-&gt;alloc_flags instead of GFP_KERNEL for memory allocations to fix
the problem.

REGCACHE_RBTREE and REGCACHE_MAPLE dynamically allocate memory for regmap
operations. This is incompatible with spinlock based locking which is used
for fast_io operations. Reject affected configurations.

<title>regcache: Push async I/O request down into the rbtree cache</title>

<id>b460a52257b1f5299ca70b7d1bb32442d3ce7bf6</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently the regcache core unconditionally enables async I/O for all cache
types, causing problems for the maple tree cache which dynamically allocates
the buffers used to write registers to the device since async requires the
buffers to be kept around until the I/O has been completed.

This use of async I/O is mainly for the rbtree cache which stores data in
a format directly usable for regmap_raw_write(), though there is a special
case for single register writes which would also have allowed it to be used
with the flat cache. It is a bit of a landmine for other caches since it
implicitly converts sync operations to async, and with modern hardware it
is not clear that async I/O is actually a performance win as shown by the
performance work David Jander did with SPI. In multi core systems the cost
of managing concurrency ends up swamping the performance benefit and almost
all modern systems are multi core.

Address this by pushing the enablement of async I/O down into the rbtree
cache where it is actively used, avoiding surprises for other cache
implementations.
