vmclock_probe() uses an "out:" label to return from the function on
error. This indicates that some cleanup operation is necessary.
However the label does not do anything as all resources are managed
through devres, making the code slightly harder to read.

Remove the label and just return directly.

Most resources owned by the vmclock device are managed through devres.
Only the miscdev and ptp clock are managed manually.
This makes the code slightly harder to understand than necessary.

Switch them over to devres and remove the now unnecessary drvdata.

<title>ptp: vmclock: Don't unregister misc device if it was not registered</title>

vmclock_remove() tries to detect the successful registration of the misc
device based on the value of its minor value.
However that check is incorrect if the misc device registration was not
attempted in the first place.

Always initialize the minor number, so the check works properly.

<title>ptp: vmclock: Set driver data before its usage</title>

If vmclock_ptp_register() fails during probing, vmclock_remove() is
called to clean up the ptp clock and misc device.
It uses dev_get_drvdata() to access the vmclock state.
However the driver data is not yet set at this point.

Assign the driver data earlier.

 "Including fixes from IPSec, netfilter and Bluetooth.

  Nothing really stands out, but as usual there's a slight concentration
  of fixes for issues added in the last two weeks before the merge
  window, and driver bugs from 6.13 which tend to get discovered upon
  wider distribution.

  Current release - regressions:

   - net: revert RTNL changes in unregister_netdevice_many_notify()

   - Bluetooth: fix possible infinite recursion of btusb_reset

   - eth: adjust locking in some old drivers which protect their state
     with spinlocks to avoid sleeping in atomic; core protects netdev
     state with a mutex now

  Previous releases - regressions:

   - eth:
      - mlx5e: make sure we pass node ID, not CPU ID to kvzalloc_node()
      - bgmac: reduce max frame size to support just 1500 bytes; the
        jumbo frame support would previously cause OOB writes, but now
        fails outright

   - mptcp: blackhole only if 1st SYN retrans w/o MPC is accepted, avoid
     false detection of MPTCP blackholing

  Previous releases - always broken:

   - mptcp: handle fastopen disconnect correctly

   - xfrm:
      - make sure skb-&gt;sk is a full sock before accessing its fields
      - fix taking a lock with preempt disabled for RT kernels

Pointer arguments passed to ioctls need to pass through compat_ptr() to
work correctly on s390; as explained in Documentation/driver-api/ioctl.rst.
Detect compat mode at runtime and call compat_ptr() for those commands
which do take pointer arguments.

The ioctl and sysfs handlers unconditionally call the -&gt;enable callback.
Not all drivers implement that callback, leading to NULL dereferences.
Example of affected drivers: ptp_s390.c, ptp_vclock.c and ptp_mock.c.

Instead use a dummy callback if no better was specified by the driver.

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "This is slightly smaller than usual, with the most interesting work
  being still around RTNL scope reduction.

  Core:

   - More core refactoring to reduce the RTNL lock contention, including
     preparatory work for the per-network namespace RTNL lock, replacing
     RTNL lock with a per device-one to protect NAPI-related net device
     data and moving synchronize_net() calls outside such lock.

   - Extend drop reasons usage, adding net scheduler, AF_UNIX, bridge
     and more specific TCP coverage.

   - Reduce network namespace tear-down time by removing per-subsystems
     synchronize_net() in tipc and sched.

   - Add flow label selector support for fib rules, allowing traffic
     redirection based on such header field.

  Netfilter:

   - Do not remove netdev basechain when last device is gone, allowing
     netdev basechains without devices.

   - Revisit the flowtable teardown strategy, dealing better with fin,
     reset and re-open events.

   - Scale-up IP-vs connection dumping by avoiding linear search on each
     restart.

  Protocols:

   - A significant XDP socket refactor, consolidating and optimizing
     several helpers into the core

   - Better scaling of ICMP rate-limiting, by removing false-sharing in
     inet peers handling.

   - Introduces netlink notifications for multicast IPv4 and IPv6
     address changes.

   - Add ipsec support for IP-TFS/AggFrag encapsulation, allowing
     aggregation and fragmentation of the inner IP.

   - Add sysctl to configure TIME-WAIT reuse delay for TCP sockets, to
     avoid local port exhaustion issues when the average connection
     lifetime is very short.

   - Support updating keys (re-keying) for connections using kernel TLS
     (for TLS 1.3 only).

   - Support ipv4-mapped ipv6 address clients in smc-r v2.

   - Add support for jumbo data packet transmission in RxRPC sockets,
     gluing multiple data packets in a single UDP packet.

   - Support RxRPC RACK-TLP to manage packet loss and retransmission in
     conjunction with the congestion control algorithm.

  Driver API:

   - Introduce a unified and structured interface for reporting PHY
     statistics, exposing consistent data across different H/W via
     ethtool.

   - Make timestamping selectable, allow the user to select the desired
     hwtstamp provider (PHY or MAC) administratively.

   - Add support for configuring a header-data-split threshold (HDS)
     value via ethtool, to deal with partial or buggy H/W
     implementation.

   - Consolidate DSA drivers Energy Efficiency Ethernet support.

   - Add EEE management to phylink, making use of the phylib
     implementation.

   - Add phylib support for in-band capabilities negotiation.

   - Simplify how phylib-enabled mac drivers expose the supported
     interfaces.

  Tests and tooling:

   - Make the YNL tool package-friendly to make it easier to deploy it
     separately from the kernel.

   - Increase TCP selftest coverage importing several packetdrill
     test-cases.

   - Regenerate the ethtool uapi header from the YNL spec, to ease
     maintenance and future development.

   - Add YNL support for decoding the link types used in net self-tests,
     allowing a single build to run both net and drivers/net.
