 "Here are three SPDX patches for 5.7-rc1.

  One fixes up the SPDX tag for a single driver, while the other two go
  through the tree and add SPDX tags for all of the .gitignore files as
  needed.

  Nothing too complex, but you will get a merge conflict with your
  current tree, that should be trivial to handle (one file modified by
  two things, one file deleted.)

  All three of these have been in linux-next for a while, with no
  reported issues other than the merge conflict"

<title>zorro: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member</title>

<id>573a73abc316ca6fe30fd52eaaf31c93077b2b23</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.

zorro_bus_type was never used outside the Zorro bus code.  Hence move it
from the public to the bus-private header file.

The kerneldoc for zorro_bus_match() was obviously copied from
zorro_match_device(), but wasnt't updated for the different calling
context and semantics.

<id>5f2fb52fac15a8a8e10ce020dd532504a8abfc4e</id>
<content type='text'>
In old days, the "host-progs" syntax was used for specifying host
programs. It was renamed to the current "hostprogs-y" in 2004.

It is typically useful in scripts/Makefile because it allows Kbuild to
selectively compile host programs based on the kernel configuration.

This commit renames like follows:

  always       -&gt;  always-y
  hostprogs-y  -&gt;  hostprogs

So, scripts/Makefile will look like this:

  always-$(CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C) += ...
  always-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS)    += ...
      ...
  hostprogs := $(always-y) $(always-m)

I think this makes more sense because a host program is always a host
program, irrespective of the kernel configuration. We want to specify
which ones to compile by CONFIG options, so always-y will be handier.

The "always", "hostprogs-y", "hostprogs-m" will be kept for backward
compatibility for a while.
