<content type='text'>
There was only one use of __initdata_refok and __exit_refok

__init_refok was used 46 times against 82 for __ref.

Those definitions are obsolete since commit 312b1485fb50 ("Introduce new
section reference annotations tags: __ref, __refdata, __refconst")

This patch removes the following compatibility definitions and replaces
them treewide.

/* compatibility defines */
#define __init_refok     __ref
#define __initdata_refok __refdata
#define __exit_refok     __ref

I can also provide separate patches if necessary.
(One patch per tree and check in 1 month or 2 to remove old definitions)

<title>powerpc/msi: Fix section mismatch warning in msi_bitmap_alloc()</title>

Building with CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH gives the following warning:

  The function .msi_bitmap_alloc() references
  the function __init .memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid().

Memory allocation in msi_bitmap_alloc() uses either slab allocator or
memblock boot time allocator depending on slab_is_available().

So the section mismatch warning is correct, but in practice there is no
bug so mark msi_bitmap_alloc() as __init_refok.

<title>powerpc/msi: Use WARN_ON() in msi bitmap selftests</title>

As demonstrated in the previous commit, the failure message from the msi
bitmap selftests is a bit subtle, it's easy to miss a failure in a busy
boot log.

So drop our check() macro and use WARN_ON() instead. This necessitates
inverting all the conditions as well.

When we added the alignment tests recently we failed to check they were
actually passing - oops.

They weren't passing, because the bitmap was full. We should also be a
bit more careful when checking the return code, a negative error return
could by divisible by our alignment value.

Currently msi_bitmap_alloc_hwirqs() will round up any IRQ allocation requests
to the nearest power of 2. eg. ask for 5 IRQs and you'll get 8. This wastes a
lot of IRQs which can be a scarce resource.

For cxl we may require multiple IRQs for every context that is attached to the
accelerator. There may be 1000s of contexts attached, hence we can easily run
out of IRQs, especially if we are needlessly wasting them.

This changes the msi_bitmap_alloc_hwirqs() to allocate only the required number
of IRQs, hence avoiding this wastage. It keeps the natural alignment
requirement though.

<title>of: Make device nodes kobjects so they show up in sysfs</title>

<content type='text'>
Device tree nodes are already treated as objects, and we already want to
expose them to userspace which is done using the /proc filesystem today.
Right now the kernel has to do a lot of work to keep the /proc view in
sync with the in-kernel representation. If device_nodes are switched to
be kobjects then the device tree code can be a whole lot simpler. It
also turns out that switching to using /sysfs from /proc results in
smaller code and data size, and the userspace ABI won't change if
/proc/device-tree symlinks to /sys/firmware/devicetree/base.

v7: Add missing sysfs_bin_attr_init()
v6: Add __of_add_property() early init fixes from Pantelis
v5: Rename firmware/ofw to firmware/devicetree
    Fix updating property values in sysfs
v4: Fixed build error on Powerpc
    Fixed handling of dynamic nodes on powerpc
v3: Fixed handling of duplicate attribute and child node names
v2: switch to using sysfs bin_attributes which solve the problem of
    reporting incorrect property size.
