WRITE_ONCE() isn't the correct way to publish a pointer to a data
structure, since it doesn't include a write memory barrier.  Therefore
other tasks may see that the pointer has been set but not see that the
pointed-to memory has finished being initialized yet.  Instead a
primitive with "release" semantics is needed.

Use smp_store_release() for this.

The use of READ_ONCE() on the read side is still potentially correct if
there's no control dependency, i.e. if all memory being "published" is
transitively reachable via the pointer itself.  But this pairing is
somewhat confusing and error-prone.  So just upgrade the read side to
smp_load_acquire() so that it clearly pairs with smp_store_release().

rproc_serial_id_table lacks an exposure to module devicetable, so
when remoteproc firmware requests VIRTIO_ID_RPROC_SERIAL, no uevent
is generated and no module autoloading occurs.
Add missing MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() annotation and move the existing
one for VIRTIO_ID_CONSOLE right to the table itself.

<title>tpm_tis_spi: Prefer async probe</title>

On a Chromebook I'm working on I noticed a big (~1 second) delay
during bootup where nothing was happening.  Right around this big
delay there were messages about the TPM:

[    2.311352] tpm_tis_spi spi0.0: TPM ready IRQ confirmed on attempt 2
[    3.332790] tpm_tis_spi spi0.0: Cr50 firmware version: ...

I put a few printouts in and saw that tpm_tis_spi_init() (specifically
tpm_chip_register() in that function) was taking the lion's share of
this time, though ~115 ms of the time was in cr50_print_fw_version().

Let's make a one-line change to prefer async probe for tpm_tis_spi.
There's no reason we need to block other drivers from probing while we
load.

NOTES:
* It's possible that other hardware runs through the init sequence
  faster than Cr50 and this isn't such a big problem for them.
  However, even if they are faster they are still doing _some_
  transfers over a SPI bus so this should benefit everyone even if to
  a lesser extent.
* It's possible that there are extra delays in the code that could be
  optimized out.  I didn't dig since once I enabled async probe they
  no longer impacted me.

<title>tpm: ibmvtpm: Wait for ready buffer before probing for TPM2 attributes</title>

The tpm2_get_cc_attrs_tbl() call will result in TPM commands being issued,
which will need the use of the internal command/response buffer.  But,
we're issuing this *before* we've waited to make sure that buffer is
allocated.

This can result in intermittent failures to probe if the hypervisor / TPM
implementation doesn't respond quickly enough.  I find it fails almost
every time with an 8 vcpu guest under KVM with software emulated TPM.

To fix it, just move the tpm2_get_cc_attrs_tlb() call after the
existing code to wait for initialization, which will ensure the buffer
is allocated.

Trivial fix, the spelling of "drescription" is incorrect
in function comment.

Fix this.

'chip-&gt;ops' is assigned in the beginning of function
in tpmm_chip_alloc-&gt;tpm_chip_alloc
and is used before first possible goto to error path.

<title>tpm_tis_spi: Don't send anything during flow control</title>

During flow control we are just reading from the TPM, yet our spi_xfer
has the tx_buf and rx_buf both non-NULL which means we're requesting a
full duplex transfer.

SPI is always somewhat of a full duplex protocol anyway and in theory
the other side shouldn't really be looking at what we're sending it
during flow control, but it's still a bit ugly to be sending some
"random" data when we shouldn't.

The default tpm_tis_spi_flow_control() tries to address this by
setting 'phy-&gt;iobuf[0] = 0'.  This partially avoids the problem of
sending "random" data, but since our tx_buf and rx_buf both point to
the same place I believe there is the potential of us sending the
TPM's previous byte back to it if we hit the retry loop.

Another flow control implementation, cr50_spi_flow_control(), doesn't
address this at all.

Let's clean this up and just make the tx_buf NULL before we call
flow_control().  Not only does this ensure that we're not sending any
"random" bytes but it also possibly could make the SPI controller
behave in a slightly more optimal way.

NOTE: no actual observed problems are fixed by this patch--it's was
just made based on code inspection.
