commit 522811e944ed9b36806faa019faec10f9d259cca upstream.

Immediately after the platform_device_unregister() the device will be
cleaned up. Accessing the freed pointer immediately after that will
crash the system.

Found this bug when kernel is built with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING and testing
loading/unloading audio drivers in a loop on Qcom platforms.

Fix this by moving of_node_clear_flag() just before the unregister calls.

Below is the crash trace:

Commit bf5db2f (microblaze: Use generic device.h) removes the
microblaze specific pdev_archdata and dma_mask.

At the same time, commit 591c1ee (of: configure the platform
device dma parameters) initializes the just removed field.
This causes all microblaze builds to fail.

Drop the unnecessary initialization.

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:

 - Major clean-up of the L2 cache support code.  The existing mess was
   becoming rather unmaintainable through all the additions that others
   have done over time.  This turns it into a much nicer structure, and
   implements a few performance improvements as well.

 - Clean up some of the CP15 control register tweaks for alignment
   support, moving some code and data into alignment.c

 - DMA properties for ARM, from Santosh and reviewed by DT people.  This
   adds DT properties to specify bus translations we can't discover
   automatically, and to indicate whether devices are coherent.

 - Hibernation support for ARM

 - Make ftrace work with read-only text in modules

 - add suspend support for PJ4B CPUs

 - rework interrupt masking for undefined instruction handling, which
   allows us to enable interrupts earlier in the handling of these
   exceptions.

 - support for big endian page tables

 - fix stacktrace support to exclude stacktrace functions from the
   trace, and add save_stack_trace_regs() implementation so that kprobes
   can record stack traces.

 - Add support for the Cortex-A17 CPU.

 - Remove last vestiges of ARM710 support.

 - Removal of ARM "meminfo" structure, finally converting us solely to
   memblock to handle the early memory initialisation.

Pull DeviceTree updates from Rob Herring:
 - Another round of clean-up of FDT related code in architecture code.
   This removes knowledge of internal FDT details from most
   architectures except powerpc.
 - Conversion of kernel's custom FDT parsing code to use libfdt.
 - DT based initialization for generic serial earlycon.  The
   introduction of generic serial earlycon support went in through the
   tty tree.
 - Improve the platform device naming for DT probed devices to ensure
   unique naming and use parent names instead of a global index.
 - Fix a race condition in of_update_property.
 - Unify the various linker section OF match tables and fix several
   function prototype errors.
 - Update platform_get_irq_byname to work in deferred probe cases.
 - 2 binding doc updates

Pull DeviceTree updates from Rob Herring:
 - Another round of clean-up of FDT related code in architecture code.
   This removes knowledge of internal FDT details from most
   architectures except powerpc.
 - Conversion of kernel's custom FDT parsing code to use libfdt.
 - DT based initialization for generic serial earlycon.  The
   introduction of generic serial earlycon support went in through the
   tty tree.
 - Improve the platform device naming for DT probed devices to ensure
   unique naming and use parent names instead of a global index.
 - Fix a race condition in of_update_property.
 - Unify the various linker section OF match tables and fix several
   function prototype errors.
 - Update platform_get_irq_byname to work in deferred probe cases.
 - 2 binding doc updates

DT support for 'dma-ranges'and 'dma-coherent' properties with ARM updates

- The 'dma-ranges' helps to take care of few DMAable system memory
        restrictions by use of dma_pfn_offset which is maintained per
        device. Arch code then uses it for dma address translations for such
        cases. We update the dma_pfn_offset accordingly during DT the device
        creation process.
- The 'dma-coherent' property is used to setup arch's coherent dma_ops.

There is now a way to ensure all platform devices get a unique name when
populated from the device tree, and the DCR_NATIVE code path is broken
anyway. PowerPC Cell (PS3) is the only platform that actually uses this
path.  Most likely nobody will notice if it is killed. Remove the code
and associated ugly #ifdef.

The user-visible impact of this patch is that any DCR device on Cell
will get a new name in the /sys/devices hierarchy.

The way the driver core is implemented, every device using the same bus
type is required to have a unique name because a symlink to each device
is created in the appropriate /sys/bus/*/devices directory, and two
identical names causes a collision.

The current code handles the requirement by using an globally
incremented counter that is appended to the device name. It works, but
it means any change to device registration will change the assigned
numbers. Instead, if we build up the name by using information from the
parent nodes, then it can be guaranteed to be unique without adding a
random number to the end of it.

In "Device Tree powered" systems, platform devices are usually massively
populated with of_platform_populate() call, executed at some level of
initcalls, either by generic architecture or by platform-specific code.

There are situations though where certain devices must be created (and
bound with drivers) before all the others. This presents a challenge,
as devices created explicitly would be created again by
of_platform_populate().

This patch tries to solve that issue in a generic way, adding a
"populated" flag for a DT node description. Subsequent
of_platform_populate() will skip such nodes (and its children) in
a similar way to the non-available ones.

This patch also adds of_platform_depopulate() as an operation
complementary to the _populate() one. It removes a platform or an amba
device populated from the Device Tree, together with its all children
(leaving, however, devices without associated of_node untouched)
clearing the "populated" flag on the way.
