<title>mtd: physmap: Add Baikal-T1 physically mapped ROM support</title>

<id>b3e79e7682e075326df8041b826b03453acacd0a</id>
<content type='text'>
Baikal-T1 Boot Controller provides an access to a RO storages, which are
physically mapped into the SoC MMIO space. In particularly there are
Internal ROM embedded into the SoC with a pre-installed firmware,
externally attached SPI flash (also accessed in the read-only mode) and a
memory region, which mirrors one of them in accordance with the currently
enabled system boot mode (also called Boot ROM).

This commit adds the Internal ROM support to the physmap driver of the MTD
kernel subsystem. The driver will create the Internal ROM MTD as long as
it is defined in the system dts file. The physically mapped SPI flash
region will be used to implement the SPI-mem interface. The mirroring
memory region won't be accessible directly since it's redundant due to
both bootable regions being exposed anyway.

Note we had to create a dedicated code for the ROMs since read from the
corresponding memory regions must be done via the dword-aligned addresses.

<title>mtd: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones</title>

<id>c13ac5552546c8971c0a4a3e947e25b0f8786aa9</id>
<content type='text'>
Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
  If not .svg:
    For each line:
      If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
        For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
	  If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`:
            If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
            return 200 OK and serve the same content:
              Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

<title>mtd: maps: sa1100-flash: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member</title>

<id>f1ffdbfad00a3c424cadfd307b5bb9c466638532</id>
<content type='text'>
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

Add minimal runtime PM support (enable on probe, disable on remove), to
ensure proper operation with a parent device that uses runtime PM.

This is needed on systems where the FLASH is connected to a bus
controller that is contained in a PM domain and/or has a gateable
functional clock.  In such cases, before accessing any device connected
to the external bus, the PM domain must be powered up, and/or the
functional clock must be enabled, which is typically handled through
runtime PM by the bus controller driver.

An example of this is the Renesas APE6-EVM development board, which has
an Ethernet controller and a CFI FLASH connected to the Bus State
Controller (BSC) of an R-Mobile APE6 SoC.
As long as the Ethernet driver, which had Runtime PM support since
commit 3a611e26e958b037 ("net/smsc911x: Add minimal runtime PM
support"), keeps the BSC powered, accessing the FLASH works.
When the ethernet node in r8a73a4-ape6evm.dts is disabled, the BSC is
never powered up, and the kernel crashes when trying to access the
FLASH:

    Unhandled fault: imprecise external abort (0x1406) at 0x00000000
    pgd = (ptrval)
    [00000000] *pgd=7fef2835
    Internal error: : 1406 [#1] SMP ARM
    CPU: 0 PID: 122 Comm: hd Tainted: G        W         5.5.0-rc1-ape6evm-00814-g38ca966db25b9dbd-dirty #136
