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 *".

pinconf_generic_dt_node_to_map_pinmux() is not actually a generic
function, and really belongs in the amlogic-am4 driver. There are three
reasons why.

First, and least, of the reasons is that this function behaves
differently to the other dt_node_to_map functions in a way that is not
obvious from a first glance. This difference stems for the devicetree
properties that the function is intended for use with, and how they are
typically used. The other generic dt_node_to_map functions support
platforms where the pins, groups and functions are described statically
in the driver and require a function that will produce a mapping from dt
nodes to these pre-established descriptions. No other code in the driver
is require to be executed at runtime.
pinconf_generic_dt_node_to_map_pinmux() on the other hand is intended for
use with the pinmux property, where groups and functions are determined
entirely from the devicetree. As a result, there are no statically
defined groups and functions in the driver for this function to perform
a mapping to. Other drivers that use the pinmux property (e.g. the k1)
their dt_node_to_map function creates the groups and functions as the
devicetree is parsed. Instead of that,
pinconf_generic_dt_node_to_map_pinmux() requires that the devicetree is
parsed twice, once by it and once at probe, so that the driver
dynamically creates the groups and functions before the dt_node_to_map
callback is executed. I don't believe this double parsing requirement is
how developers would expect this to work and is not necessary given
there are drivers that do not have this behaviour.

Secondly and thirdly, the function bakes in some assumptions that only
really match the amlogic platform about how the devicetree is constructed.
These, to me, are problematic for something that claims to be generic.

The other dt_node_to_map implementations accept a being called for
either a node containing pin configuration properties or a node
containing child nodes that each contain the configuration properties.
IOW, they support the following two devicetree configurations:

| cfg {
| 	label: group {
| 		pinmux = &lt;asjhdasjhlajskd&gt;;
| 		config-item1;
| 	};
| };

| label: cfg {
| 	group1 {
| 		pinmux = &lt;dsjhlfka&gt;;
| 		config-item2;
| 	};
| 	group2 {
| 		pinmux = &lt;lsdjhaf&gt;;
| 		config-item1;
| 	};
| };

pinconf_generic_dt_node_to_map_pinmux() only supports the latter.

The other assumption about devicetree configuration that the function
makes is that the labeled node's parent is a "function node". The amlogic
driver uses these "function nodes" to create the functions at probe
time, and pinconf_generic_dt_node_to_map_pinmux() finds the parent of
the node it is operating on's name as part of the mapping. IOW, it
requires that the devicetree look like:

| pinctrl@bla {
|
| 	func-foo {
| 		label: group-default {
| 			pinmuxes = &lt;lskdf&gt;;
| 		};
| 	};
| };

and couldn't be used if the nodes containing the pinmux and
configuration properties are children of the pinctrl node itself:

| pinctrl@bla {
|
| 	label: group-default {
| 		pinmuxes = &lt;lskdf&gt;;
| 	};
| };

These final two reasons are mainly why I believe this is not suitable as
a generic function, and should be moved into the driver that is the sole
user and originator of the "generic" function.

<title>pinctrl: mediatek: remove unused drv_offset field</title>

The 'drv_offset' member in 'struct mtk_pinctrl_devdata' has been unused
since the driver's inception. Drive strength control for MediaTek
pinctrl drivers is actually configured via 'pin_drv_grp',
making this specific offset field redundant.

Remove the unused field from the common 'mtk_pinctrl_devdata' structure
and its corresponding initialization in the mt8365 driver to clean up
the code and avoid confusion.

<title>pinctrl: canaan: k230: Fix NULL pointer dereference when parsing devicetree</title>

When probing the k230 pinctrl driver, the kernel triggers a NULL pointer
dereference. The crash trace showed:
[    0.732084] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000068
[    0.740737] ...
[    0.776296] epc : k230_pinctrl_probe+0x1be/0x4fc

In k230_pinctrl_parse_functions(), we attempt to retrieve the device
pointer via info-&gt;pctl_dev-&gt;dev, but info-&gt;pctl_dev is only initialized
after k230_pinctrl_parse_dt() completes.

At the time of DT parsing, info-&gt;pctl_dev is still NULL, leading to
the invalid dereference of info-&gt;pctl_dev-&gt;dev.

Use the already available device pointer from platform_device
instead of accessing through uninitialized pctl_dev.

<title>pinctrl: single: fix refcount leak in pcs_add_gpio_func()</title>

of_parse_phandle_with_args() returns a device_node pointer with refcount
incremented in gpiospec.np. The loop iterates through all phandles but
never releases the reference, causing a refcount leak on each iteration.

Add of_node_put() calls to release the reference after extracting the
needed arguments and on the error path when devm_kzalloc() fails.

This bug was detected by our static analysis tool and verified by my
code review.
