[ Upstream commit f200fff8d019f2754f91f5d715652e3e3fdf3604 ]

Before writing the read or write command to the SPMI arbiter through the
PMIF interface, the current status of the channel is checked to ensure
it is idle. However, since the status only changes from idle when the
command is written, it is possible for two concurrent calls to determine
that the channel is idle and simultaneously send their commands. At this
point the PMIF interface hangs, with the status register no longer being
updated, and thus causing all subsequent operations to time out.

This was observed on the mt8195-cherry-tomato-r2 machine, particularly
after commit 46600ab142f8 ("regulator: Set PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS for
drivers between 5.10 and 5.15") was applied, since then the two MT6315
devices present on the SPMI bus would probe assynchronously and
sometimes (during probe or at a later point) read the bus
simultaneously, breaking the PMIF interface and consequently slowing
down the whole system.

To fix the issue at its root cause, introduce locking around the channel
status check and the command write, so that both become an atomic
operation, preventing race conditions between two (or more) SPMI bus
read/write operations. A spinlock is used since this is a fast bus, as
indicated by the usage of the atomic variant of readl_poll, and
'.fast_io = true' being used in the mt6315 driver, so spinlocks are
already used for the regmap access.

Rename the SPMI device helper which is used to lookup a device from its
OF node as spmi_find_device_by_of_node() so that it reflects the
implementation and matches how other helpers like this are named.

This will specifically make it more clear that this is a lookup function
which returns a reference counted structure.

<title>spmi: Add a check for remove callback when removing a SPMI driver</title>

<id>b56eef3e16d888883fefab47425036de80dd38fc</id>
<content type='text'>
When removing a SPMI driver, there can be a crash due to NULL pointer
dereference if it does not have a remove callback defined. This is
one such call trace observed when removing the QCOM SPMI PMIC driver:

 dump_backtrace.cfi_jt+0x0/0x8

If a driver has all its resources allocated through devm_() APIs and
does not need any other explicit cleanup, it would not require a
remove callback to be defined. Hence, add a check for remove callback
presence before calling it when removing a SPMI driver.

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is (mostly) ignored
and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve here there is a
quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first step of this
quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new() which already returns
void.

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is (mostly) ignored
and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve here there is a
quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first step of this
quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new() which already returns
void.

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

<title>driver core: make struct bus_type.uevent() take a const *</title>

The uevent() callback in struct bus_type should not be modifying the
device that is passed into it, so mark it as a const * and propagate the
function signature changes out into all relevant subsystems that use
this callback.
