Replace the #include of &lt;linux/mod_devicetable.h&gt; by the more specific
&lt;linux/device-id/*.h&gt; where applicable. For most cases the include
can be dropped completely, only a few drivers need one or two headers
added.

<title>wifi: wlcore: enable the right set of ciphers</title>

The firmware version number check for IGTK introduced in
commit c34dbc5900b0 ("wifi: wlcore: Add support for IGTK key")

lets the amount of ciphers decrease on every boot of a too old firmware and
that is practically happening. It also does not take into account other
chips than the wl18xx. On some wl128x, the following can be observed
when connecting via nm to a common ap:

[  484.113311] wlcore: WARNING could not set keys

<title>wifi: wl1251: validate packet IDs before indexing tx_frames</title>

<content type='text'>
wl1251_tx_packet_cb() uses the firmware completion ID directly to index
the fixed 16-entry wl-&gt;tx_frames[] array. The ID is a raw u8 from the
completion block, and the callback does not currently verify that it
fits the array before dereferencing it.

Reject completion IDs that fall outside wl-&gt;tx_frames[] and keep the
existing NULL check in the same guard. This keeps the fix local to the
trust boundary and avoids touching the rest of the completion flow.

<title>wifi: wlcore: Return -ENOMEM instead of -EAGAIN if there is not enough headroom</title>

<id>deb353d9bb009638b7762cae2d0b6e8fdbb41a69</id>
<content type='text'>
Since upstream commit e75665dd0968 ("wifi: wlcore: ensure skb headroom
before skb_push"), wl1271_tx_allocate() and with it
wl1271_prepare_tx_frame() returns -EAGAIN if pskb_expand_head() fails.
However, in wlcore_tx_work_locked(), a return value of -EAGAIN from
wl1271_prepare_tx_frame() is interpreted as the aggregation buffer being
full. This causes the code to flush the buffer, put the skb back at the
head of the queue, and immediately retry the same skb in a tight while
loop.

Because wlcore_tx_work_locked() holds wl-&gt;mutex, and the retry happens
immediately with GFP_ATOMIC, this will result in an infinite loop and a
CPU soft lockup. Return -ENOMEM instead so the packet is dropped and
the loop terminates.

The problem was found by an experimental code review agent based on
gemini-3.1-pro while reviewing backports into v6.18.y.

<title>Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments</title>

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

<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>

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 *".

strncpy() is deprecated [1] for NUL-terminated destination buffers since
it does not guarantee NUL termination. Remove the manual NUL termination
and replace strncpy() with strscpy() to ensure NUL termination of the
destination buffer.

Using strscpy_pad() to retain the NUL-padding behavior of strncpy() is
not needed because -&gt;fw_ver is only used as a C-string.
