<title>dmaengine: Refactor devm_dma_request_chan() for readability</title>

Yes, while it's a bit longer in terms of LoCs, it's more readable
when we use the usual patter to check for errors, and not for
a success). This eliminates unneeded assignment and moves the
needed one closer to its user which is better programming pattern
because it allows avoiding potential errors in case the variable
is getting reused. Also note that the same pattern have been used
already in dmaenginem_async_device_register().

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

<id>bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>
<content type='text'>
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>

<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 *".

Using an arbitrary string as a printf-style format can be a security
problem if that string contains % characters, as the optionalal
-Wformat-security flag points out:

drivers/dma/dmaengine.c: In function '__dma_async_device_channel_register':
drivers/dma/dmaengine.c:1073:17: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security]

      |                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~

Change this newly added instance to use "%s" as the format instead to
pass the actual name.

Channel device name is used for sysfs, but also by dmatest filter function.

With dynamic channel registration, channels can be registered after dma
controller registration. Users may want to have specific channel names.

If name is NULL, the channel name relies on previous implementation,
dma&lt;controller_device_id&gt;chan&lt;channel_device_id&gt;.
