<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

<id>69050f8d6d075dc01af7a5f2f550a8067510366f</id>
<content type='text'>
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

<title>regmap: kunit: Create a struct device for the regmap</title>

Use kunit_device_register() to create a real struct device for the
regmap instead of leaving it at NULL.

The main reason for this is that it allows context data to be passed
into the readable_reg/writable_reg/volatile_reg functions by attaching
it to the struct device with dev_set_drvdata().

The gen_regmap() and gen_raw_regmap() functions are updated to take a
struct kunit * argument.

A new struct regmap_test_priv has been created to hold the struct device
created by kunit_device_register(). This allows the struct to be
extended in the future to hold more private data for the test suite.

<title>regmap: fix kcalloc() arguments order</title>

When compiling with gcc version 14.0.0 20231220 (experimental)
and W=1, I've noticed a bunch of four similar warnings like:

drivers/base/regmap/regmap-ram.c: In function '__regmap_init_ram':
drivers/base/regmap/regmap-ram.c:68:37: warning: 'kcalloc' sizes specified with
'sizeof' in the earlier argument and not in the later argument [-Wcalloc-transposed-args]
   68 |         data-&gt;read = kcalloc(sizeof(bool), config-&gt;max_register + 1,
      |                                     ^~~~

Since 'n' and 'size' arguments of 'kcalloc()' are multiplied to
calculate the final size, their actual order doesn't affect the
result and so this is not a bug. But it's still worth to fix it.

Add a register map that is a simple array of memory, for use in
KUnit testing of the framework. This is not exposed in regmap.h
since I can't think of a non-test use case, it is purely for use
internally. To facilitate testing we track if registers have been
read or written to.
