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>nfc: Use named initializers for struct i2c_device_id</title>

<content type='text'>
While being less compact, using named initializers allows to more easily
see which members of the structs are assigned which value without having
to lookup the declaration of the struct. And it's also more robust
against changes to the struct definition.

While touching all these arrays, unify usage of whitespace in the list
terminator.

This patch doesn't modify the compiled arrays, only their representation
in source form benefits. The former was confirmed with x86 and arm64
builds.

<title>NFC: pn544: i2c: Replace strcpy() with strscpy()</title>

<id>e63f5918adb8efa7d9609585318db773ac7cd241</id>
<content type='text'>
Replace strcpy() with strscpy() which limits the copy to the size of
the destination buffer. Since phy-&gt;firmware_name is an array, the
two-argument variant of strscpy() is used - the compiler deduces
the buffer size automatically.

This is a defensive cleanup. As pointed out by Jakub Kicinski
&lt;kuba@kernel.org&gt;, firmware_name is already bounded to
NFC_FIRMWARE_NAME_MAXSIZE via nla_strscpy() in net/nfc/netlink.c
before reaching this driver, so no actual buffer overflow is possible.

<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 *".

<title>minmax: make generic MIN() and MAX() macros available everywhere</title>

<id>1a251f52cfdc417c84411a056bc142cbd77baef4</id>
<content type='text'>
This just standardizes the use of MIN() and MAX() macros, with the very
traditional semantics.  The goal is to use these for C constant
expressions and for top-level / static initializers, and so be able to
simplify the min()/max() macros.

These macro names were used by various kernel code - they are very
traditional, after all - and all such users have been fixed up, with a
few different approaches:

 - trivial duplicated macro definitions have been removed

   Note that 'trivial' here means that it's obviously kernel code that
   already included all the major kernel headers, and thus gets the new
   generic MIN/MAX macros automatically.

 - non-trivial duplicated macro definitions are guarded with #ifndef

   This is the "yes, they define their own versions, but no, the include
   situation is not entirely obvious, and maybe they don't get the
   generic version automatically" case.

 - strange use case #1

   A couple of drivers decided that the way they want to describe their
   versioning is with

	#define MAJ 1
	#define MIN 2
	#define DRV_VERSION __stringify(MAJ) "." __stringify(MIN)

   which adds zero value and I just did my Alexander the Great
   impersonation, and rewrote that pointless Gordian knot as

	#define DRV_VERSION "1.2"

   instead.

 - strange use case #2

   A couple of drivers thought that it's a good idea to have a random
   'MIN' or 'MAX' define for a value or index into a table, rather than
   the traditional macro that takes arguments.

   These values were re-written as C enum's instead. The new
   function-line macros only expand when followed by an open
   parenthesis, and thus don't clash with enum use.

Happily, there weren't really all that many of these cases, and a lot of
users already had the pattern of using '#ifndef' guarding (or in one
case just using '#undef MIN') before defining their own private version
that does the same thing. I left such cases alone.

These drivers don't use the driver_data member of struct i2c_device_id,
so don't explicitly initialize this member.

This prepares putting driver_data in an anonymous union which requires
either no initialization or named designators. But it's also a nice
cleanup on its own.
