Pull tty/serial driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of serial and tty driver updates for 6.15-rc1.
  Include in here are the following:

   - more great tty layer cleanups from Jiri. Someday this will be done,
     but that's not going to be any year soon...

   - kdb debug driver reverts to fix a reported issue

   - lots of .dts binding updates for different devices with serial
     devices

   - lots of tiny updates and tweaks and a few bugfixes for different
     serial drivers.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - New option "printk.debug_non_panic_cpus" allows to store printk
   messages from non-panic CPUs during panic. It might be useful when
   panic() fails. It is disabled by default because it increases the
   chance to see the messages printed before panic() and on the
   panic-CPU.

 - New build option "CONFIG_NULL_TTY_DEFAULT_CONSOLE" allows to build
   kernel without the virtual terminal support which prefers ttynull
   over serial console.

 - Do not unblank suspended consoles.

 - Some code clean up.

uart_line_info() wants to work with struct uart_state. Do not pass a
driver and an index. Pass the precomputed struct directly.

Pull driver core and debugfs updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of driver core and debugfs updates for 6.14-rc1.

  Included in here is a bunch of driver core, PCI, OF, and platform rust
  bindings (all acked by the different subsystem maintainers), hence the
  merge conflict with the rust tree, and some driver core api updates to
  mark things as const, which will also require some fixups due to new
  stuff coming in through other trees in this merge window.

  There are also a bunch of debugfs updates from Al, and there is at
  least one user that does have a regression with these, but Al is
  working on tracking down the fix for it. In my use (and everyone
  else's linux-next use), it does not seem like a big issue at the
  moment.

  Here's a short list of the things in here:

   - driver core rust bindings for PCI, platform, OF, and some i/o
     functions.

     We are almost at the "write a real driver in rust" stage now,
     depending on what you want to do.

   - misc device rust bindings and a sample driver to show how to use
     them

   - debugfs cleanups in the fs as well as the users of the fs api for
     places where drivers got it wrong or were unnecessarily doing
     things in complex ways.

   - driver core const work, making more of the api take const * for
     different parameters to make the rust bindings easier overall.

   - other small fixes and updates

  All of these have been in linux-next with all of the aforementioned
  merge conflicts, and the one debugfs issue, which looks to be resolved
  "soon""

Constify the following API:
struct device *device_find_child(struct device *dev, void *data,
		int (*match)(struct device *dev, void *data));
To :
struct device *device_find_child(struct device *dev, const void *data,
                                 device_match_t match);
typedef int (*device_match_t)(struct device *dev, const void *data);
with the following reasons:

- Protect caller's match data @*data which is for comparison and lookup
  and the API does not actually need to modify @*data.

- Make the API's parameters (@match)() and @data have the same type as
  all of other device finding APIs (bus|class|driver)_find_device().

- All kinds of existing device match functions can be directly taken
  as the API's argument, they were exported by driver core.

Constify the API and adapt for various existing usages.

BTW, various subsystem changes are squashed into this commit to meet
'git bisect' requirement, and this commit has the minimal and simplest
changes to complement squashing shortcoming, and that may bring extra
code improvement.

<title>tty: serial: extract uart_change_port() from uart_set_info()</title>

This "change_port" part of uart_set_info() is for no good reason
inlined there. It makes the function rather hard to read. Therefore,
extract it to a separate function.

This allows for flattening the ifs (with short path "return"s) and
avoiding two levels of indentation. Both making the code really flat and
comprehesible.
