Pull driver core updates from Danilo Krummrich:
 "container_of:

   - Apply typeof_member(), remove the local __mptr variable to
     eliminate variable shadowing warnings on nested container_of()
     calls, and remove unnecessary parentheses

  core:

   - Add driver name to probe debug print for initcall_debug

   - Avoid repeatedly printing the same 'Fixed dependency cycle' log

   - Unwind device_add() on attribute creation failure in
     attribute_container_add_class_device()

   - Remove statistics group if encryption group creation fails in
     transport_add_class_device()

  debugfs:

   - Fix lockdown check for mmap_prepare()

   - Warn if file creation failed due to uninitialized debugfs

  device property:

   - Implement fw_devlink support for software nodes by adding
     software_node_add_links(), which creates fwnode links from
     DEV_PROP_REF properties to enable automatic probe ordering. Add
     kunit-managed fwnode helpers and test coverage

   - Fix infinite loop in fwnode_for_each_child_node() when the
     secondary fwnode has more than one child. Add test cases

   - Fix out-of-bounds access in software_node_get_reference_args() when
     called with index -1 (UINT_MAX)

   - Refactor to use RAII approach with __free()

   - Add Bartosz Golaszewski as software node reviewer

  firmware loader:

   - Fix race where a sysfs fallback request can complete before being
     queued as pending, leading to a use-after-free on the next fallback
     request

   - Reject 0-size built-in firmware and fail the build on empty
     firmware files in CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE

  kobject:

   - Provide __KOBJ_ATTR() and __KOBJ_ATTR_RO/WO() initialization macros
     and allow the constification of kobject attributes, enabling them
     to reside in read-only memory

  platform:

   - Provide platform_device_set_of_node(), platform_device_set_fwnode(),
     and platform_device_set_of_node_from_dev() helpers that encapsulate
     firmware node reference counting for dynamically allocated platform
     devices

     Convert all in-tree users that manually assigned dev.of_node or
     dev.fwnode, fixing a pre-existing refcount bug in powermac. Switch
     to counting references of all firmware node types, not only OF
     nodes

   - Unify the release path for dynamically allocated platform devices
     by removing platform_device_release_full(). Amend the fwnode setter
     API contract to warn if a primary software node is overwritten. Add
     KUnit tests for correct software node removal on device
     unregistration

  Rust:

   - Auxiliary:
       - Add registration_data_with() closure-based API for invariant
         ForLt types

   - Debugfs:
       - Migrate BinaryWriter and BinaryReaderMut trait requirements
         from kernel::transmute traits to zerocopy traits

   - Device:
       - Add BoundInternal device context and InternalBoundContext trait
         for bus abstractions that need internal access to a bound
         device.
       - Make the lifetime on Core and CoreInternal invariant to prevent
         coercion to shorter lifetimes

   - Devres:
       - Fix race between concurrent revokers where the losing revoker
         could return before the winning revoker finished dropping the
         inner data, causing use-after-free.
       - Ensure revocation is complete before the device finishes
         unbinding by making the synchronization bidirectional.
       - Add DevresLt&lt;F: ForLt&gt;, a wrapper around Devres that shortens
         'static back to the caller's borrow scope. Implement ForLt and
         CovariantForLt for Bar, IoMem, and ExclusiveIoMem

   - Driver:
       - Switch from index-based to pointer-based device ID info lookup,
         storing static references in driver_data. Centralize device ID
         handling in device_id.rs, removing the open-coded ACPI/OF
         matching logic and duplicate ID table from driver.rs

   - I/O:
       - Make I/O regions typed (with a dynamically-sized Region type
         for the existing untyped case), create view types representing
         subregions of a mapped I/O region, and add io_project!() for
         safely creating subviews.
       - Split Io into a base trait (IoBase) and an extension trait (Io)
         with a blanket implementation, preventing implementers from
         overriding provided methods that unsafe code relies on.
       - Add a SysMem backend for shared system memory with volatile
         access, and make Coherent implement Io via an I/O view type.
         Add IoSysMap as sum type of Mmio and SysMem. Add copying
         methods (memcpy_{from,to}io()) and read_val()/write_val() for
         typed access.
       - Replace dma_read!()/dma_write!() with io_read!()/io_write!()
         for primitives and copying methods for aggregates; drop the old
         macros. Convert nova-core to use I/O projection.
       - Fix internal shortcut rule dispatch in the register!() macro,
         remove unused rule arguments, and use path fragments for alias
         destinations

   - IRQ:
       - Make irq::Registration compatible with lifetime-bound drivers
         by removing the 'static bound on Handler/ThreadedHandler and
         replacing Devres&lt;RegistrationInner&gt; with direct
         request_irq()/free_irq() calls. Handlers can now directly own
         lifetime-bound device resources

   - PCI:
       - Convert IrqVectorRegistration to a lifetime-annotated owning
         type, giving drivers explicit control over the allocation
         lifetime. IrqVector embeds a resolved IrqRequest, making the
         conversion infallible. Remove the redundant
         request_irq()/request_threaded_irq() wrappers from pci::Device.
       - Add pci_irq_type() C helper and expose it via irq_type() on
         IrqVectorRegistration and IrqVector, returning PCI_IRQ_MSIX,
         PCI_IRQ_MSI, or PCI_IRQ_INTX.
       - Mark pci::Device refcount methods inline

   - Serdev:
       - Add Rust abstractions for the serial device bus, including
         serdev::Driver trait, serdev::Device wrapping struct
         serdev_device, and serdev::Adapter implementing
         RegistrationOps. Includes a sample driver. Markus Probst takes
         over as serdev maintainer for both C and Rust code

   - Misc:
       - Split ForLt into a base trait (providing the Of&lt;'a&gt; GAT) and an
         unsafe CovariantForLt subtrait guaranteeing covariance,
         enabling invariant types (e.g. those containing Mutex&lt;&amp;'bound T&gt;)
         to participate in the ForLt abstraction.
       - Fix Coherent read past EOF returning -ERANGE instead of zero.
       - Fix firmware example UB by avoiding null-pointer ARef

  misc:
   - Avoid iattr allocation in kernfs listxattr by using
     kernfs_iattrs_noalloc().
   - Unregister SoC bus on early device registration failure.
   - Remove unused DMA_FENCE_TRACE Kconfig symbol.
   - Fix /sys/module path in comment.
   - Refactor ISA bus init to remove nested blocks.
   - Remove redundant nodemask clears in numa_init().
   - Add kernel-doc for fwnode_operations and sys_soc.h, mark
     internal property data as private for kernel-doc, and add
     property.h/fwnode.h to driver-api infrastructure docs.
   - Add MAINTAINERS entry for sys_soc.h"

Pull driver core updates from Danilo Krummrich:
 "container_of:

   - Apply typeof_member(), remove the local __mptr variable to
     eliminate variable shadowing warnings on nested container_of()
     calls, and remove unnecessary parentheses

  core:

   - Add driver name to probe debug print for initcall_debug

   - Avoid repeatedly printing the same 'Fixed dependency cycle' log

   - Unwind device_add() on attribute creation failure in
     attribute_container_add_class_device()

   - Remove statistics group if encryption group creation fails in
     transport_add_class_device()

  debugfs:

   - Fix lockdown check for mmap_prepare()

   - Warn if file creation failed due to uninitialized debugfs

  device property:

   - Implement fw_devlink support for software nodes by adding
     software_node_add_links(), which creates fwnode links from
     DEV_PROP_REF properties to enable automatic probe ordering. Add
     kunit-managed fwnode helpers and test coverage

   - Fix infinite loop in fwnode_for_each_child_node() when the
     secondary fwnode has more than one child. Add test cases

   - Fix out-of-bounds access in software_node_get_reference_args() when
     called with index -1 (UINT_MAX)

   - Refactor to use RAII approach with __free()

   - Add Bartosz Golaszewski as software node reviewer

  firmware loader:

   - Fix race where a sysfs fallback request can complete before being
     queued as pending, leading to a use-after-free on the next fallback
     request

   - Reject 0-size built-in firmware and fail the build on empty
     firmware files in CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE

  kobject:

   - Provide __KOBJ_ATTR() and __KOBJ_ATTR_RO/WO() initialization macros
     and allow the constification of kobject attributes, enabling them
     to reside in read-only memory

  platform:

   - Provide platform_device_set_of_node(), platform_device_set_fwnode(),
     and platform_device_set_of_node_from_dev() helpers that encapsulate
     firmware node reference counting for dynamically allocated platform
     devices

     Convert all in-tree users that manually assigned dev.of_node or
     dev.fwnode, fixing a pre-existing refcount bug in powermac. Switch
     to counting references of all firmware node types, not only OF
     nodes

   - Unify the release path for dynamically allocated platform devices
     by removing platform_device_release_full(). Amend the fwnode setter

<title>gpu: nova-core: falcon: use I/O projection to check transfer bounds</title>

The DMA transfer routine was computing the start of the DMA area by
taking the address of the coherent allocation, and then adding the
transfer's start offset. It then checked manually that the upper bound
was valid.

Convert this to an I/O projection of the same region, which returns
`ERANGE` if the passed range does not fit within the coherent
allocation. This removes the need to perform arithmetic on DMA addresses
and to explicitly check for the bounds' validity.

The `dma_handle` naming is inherited from the C API, but what this
really describes is the device DMA address; everything named
`dma_handle` is actually a `dma_addr_t`.

This naming introduces some confusion on the Rust API side, as handles
are supposed to be opaque tokens, yet we were doing address computation
on values returned by `dma_handle`.

Rename `dma_handle` to `dma_address` while nova-core is still its only
user.

Switch the FSP firmware loaders from the legacy ELF32 format to the new
TLV format.  This change requires the new TLV versions of the r570.144
firmware images.

Because we are no longer loading ELF images, we can also delete the ELF
parser.

Also remove function request_firmware() as this was the last user.

Switch the GSP firmware loader from the legacy binary format to the
TLV format.  This change requires the new TLV versions of the r570.144
firmware images.

Unlike the other TLV firmware images, gsp.tlv contains a pointer to
the actual GSP firmware file instead of its contents.  This allows
each small gsp.tlv file to contain the distinct metadata for each GPU
while still allowing the very large gsp.bin to be shared by all
GPUs.

One key piece of metadata is the signature.  The legacy GSP firmware
image is an ELF file that contains multiple sections that needed
to be parsed, and the driver needed to determine which section is
relevant for the GPU.  Instead, gsp.tlv contains the pre-processed
metadata, so all the driver needs to do is to extract it.

Switch the booter firmware loader from the legacy binary format to the
TLV format.  This change requires the new TLV versions of the r570.144
firmware images.

The new TLV format has all of the metadata needed by Nova encoded as
separate tags, eliminating the need to parse legacy firmware headers
such as HsHeaderV2 and HsSignatureParams.  All of the structs and
code for parsing those headers is therefore deleted.
