Change additional instances that could use sysfs_emit and sysfs_emit_at
that the coccinelle script could not convert.

o macros creating show functions with ## concatenation
o unbound sprintf uses with buf+len for start of output to sysfs_emit_at
o returns with ?: tests and sprintf to sysfs_emit
o sysfs output with struct class * not struct device * arguments

Miscellanea:

o remove unnecessary initializations around these changes
o consistently use int len for return length of show functions
o use octal permissions and not S_&lt;FOO&gt;
o rename a few show function names so DEVICE_ATTR_&lt;FOO&gt; can be used
o use DEVICE_ATTR_ADMIN_RO where appropriate
o consistently use const char *output for strings
o checkpatch/style neatening

Convert the various sprintf fmaily calls in sysfs device show functions
to sysfs_emit and sysfs_emit_at for PAGE_SIZE buffer safety.

Done with:

$ spatch -sp-file sysfs_emit_dev.cocci --in-place --max-width=80 .

Soc framework exposed sysfs entries are not sufficient for some
of the h/w platforms. Currently there is no interface where soc
drivers can expose further information about their SoCs via soc
framework. This change address this limitation where clients can
pass their custom entries as attribute group and soc framework
would expose them as sysfs properties.

Add new attribute named "serial_number" as a standard interface for
user space to acquire the serial number of the device.

For ST-Ericsson SoCs this is exposed by the cryptically named "soc_id"
attribute, but this provides a human readable standardized name for this
property.

Now that the SPDX tag is in all driver core files, that identifies the
license in a specific and legally-defined manner.  So the extra GPL text
wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all.

This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in
the kernel describe the GPL license text.  And there's unneeded stuff
like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never
needed.

No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to
audit the kernel tree for correct licenses.

Update the driver core files files with the correct SPDX license
identifier based on the license text in the file itself.  The SPDX
identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of
the full boiler plate text.

This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe
Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to
audit the kernel tree for correct licenses.

Update the driver core files files with the correct SPDX license
identifier based on the license text in the file itself.  The SPDX
identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of
the full boiler plate text.

This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe
Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

Commit 1da1b3628df34a2a ("base: soc: Early register bus when needed")
added support for early registration of SoC devices from a
core_initcall().  However, some drivers need to check the SoC revision
from an early_initcall(), which is even earlier.

A specific example is the Renesas R-Car SYSC driver, which manages PM
Domains and thus needs to be initialized from an early_initcall.
Preproduction versions of the R-Car H3 SoC have an additional power
area, which no longer exists on H3 ES2.0, so the R-Car SYSC driver needs
to check the exact SoC revision before instantiating a PM Domain for
that power area.

While registering the SoC bus and device, and using soc_device_match(),
from an early_initcall() do work, the "soc" directory and the "soc0"
file end up wrongly in the sysfs root, as the "bus" resp. "devices"
directories haven't been created yet.

To fix this, allow to register a single SoC device early on.
As long as the SoC bus isn't registered, soc_device_match() just
matches against this early device.
When the SoC bus is registered later, the early device is registered for
real.

Note that soc_device_register() returns NULL (no error, but also not a
valid pointer) when registering an early device.  Hence platform devices
cannot be instantiated as children of the "soc0" node representing an
early SoC device.  This should not be an issue, as that practice has
been deprecated for new platforms.
