Pull driver core updates from Danilo Krummrich:
 "Deferred probe:
   - Fix race where deferred probe timeout work could be permanently
     canceled by using mod_delayed_work()
   - Fix missing jiffies conversion in deferred_probe_extend_timeout()
   - Guard timeout extension with delayed_work_pending() to prevent
     premature firing
   - Use system_percpu_wq instead of the deprecated system_wq
   - Update deferred_probe_timeout documentation

  device:
   - Replace direct struct device bitfield access (can_match, dma_iommu,
     dma_skip_sync, dma_ops_bypass, state_synced, dma_coherent,
     of_node_reused, offline, offline_disabled) with flag-based
     accessors using bit operations
   - Reject devices with unregistered buses
   - Delete unused DEVICE_ATTR_PREALLOC()
   - Add low-level device attribute macros with const show/store
     callbacks, allowing device attributes to reside in read-only memory
   - Move core device attributes to read-only memory
   - Constify group array pointers in driver_add_groups() /
     driver_remove_groups(), struct bus_type, and struct device_driver

  device property:
   - Fix fwnode reference leak in fwnode_graph_get_endpoint_by_id()
   - Initialize all fields of fwnode_handle in fwnode_init()
   - Provide swnode_get()/swnode_put() wrappers around kobject_get/put()
   - Allow passing struct software_node_ref_args pointers directly to
     PROPERTY_ENTRY_REF()

  driver_override:
   - Migrate amba, cdx, vmbus, and rpmsg to the generic driver_override
     infrastructure, fixing a UAF from unsynchronized access to
     driver_override in bus match() callbacks
   - Remove the now-unused driver_set_override()

  firmware loader:
   - Fix recursive lock deadlock in device_cache_fw_images() when async
     work falls back to synchronous execution
   - Fix device reference leak in firmware_upload_register()

  platform:
   - Pass KBUILD_MODNAME through the platform driver registration macro
     to create module symlinks in sysfs for built-in drivers; move
     module_kset initialization to a pure_initcall and tegra cbb
     registration to core_initcall to ensure correct ordering
   - Pass THIS_MODULE implicitly through a coresight_init_driver() macro

  sysfs:
   - Upgrade OOB write detection in sysfs_kf_seq_show() from printk to
     WARN
   - Add return value clamping to sysfs_kf_read()

  Rust:
   - ACPI:

     Fix missing match data for PRP0001 by exporting
     acpi_of_match_device()

   - Auxiliary:

     Replace drvdata() with dedicated registration data on
     auxiliary_device. drvdata() exposed the driver's bus device private
     data beyond the driver's own scope, creating ordering constraints
     and forcing the data to outlive all registrations that access it.
     Registration data is instead scoped structurally to the
     Registration object, making lifecycle ordering enforced by
     construction rather than convention.

   - Rust-native device driver lifetimes (HRT):

     Allow Rust device drivers to carry a lifetime parameter on their
     bus device private data, tied to the device binding scope -- the
     interval during which a bus device is bound to a driver. Device
     resources like pci::Bar<'a> and IoMem<'a> can be stored directly in
     the driver's bus device private data with a lifetime bounded by the
     binding scope, so the compiler enforces at build time that they do
     not outlive the binding. This removes Devres indirection from every
     access site and eliminates try_access() failure paths in
     destructors.

     Bus driver traits use a Generic Associated Type (GAT) Data<'bound>
     to introduce the lifetime on the private data, rather than
     parameterizing the Driver trait itself. Auxiliary registration
     data, where the lifetime is not introduced by a trait callback but
     must be threaded through Registration, uses the ForLt trait (a
     type-level abstraction for types generic over a lifetime).

  Misc:
   - Fix DT overlayed devices not probing by reverting the broken
     treewide overlay fix and re-running fw_devlink consumer pickup when
     an overlay is applied to a bound device
   - Use root_device_register() for faux bus root device; add sanity
     check for failed bus init
   - Fix dev_has_sync_state() data race with READ_ONCE() and move it to
     base.h
   - Avoid spurious device_links warning when removing a device while
     its supplier is unbinding
   - Switch ISA bus to dynamic root device
   - Fix suspicious RCU usage in kernfs_put()
   - Remove devcoredump exit callback
   - Constify devfreq_event_class"

serial: zs: Switch to using channel reset 2026-05-22T09:52:34+00:00 Maciej W. Rozycki macro@orcam.me.uk 2026-05-06T22:42:43+00:00 8572955630f30948837088aa98bcbe0532d1ceac Switch the driver to using the channel reset rather than hardware reset, simplifying handling by removing an interference between channels that causes the other channel to become uninitialised afterwards. There is little difference between the two kinds of reset in terms of register settings that result, and we initialise the whole register set right away anyway. However this prevents a hang from happening should the console output handler in the firmware try to access the other port whose transmitter has been disabled and line parameters messed up. For example this will happen if the keyboard port (port A) is chosen for the system console, unusually but not insanely for a headless system, as the port is wired to a standard DA-15 connector and an adapter can be easily made. Or with the next change in place this would happen for the regular console port (port B), since the keyboard port (port A) will be initialised first. Just remove the unnecessary complication then, a channel reset is good enough. We still need the initialisation marker, now per channel rather than per SCC, as for the console port zs_reset() will be called twice: once early on via zs_serial_console_init() for the console setup only, and then again via zs_config_port() as the port is associated with a TTY device.

Switch the driver to using the channel reset rather than hardware reset,
simplifying handling by removing an interference between channels that
causes the other channel to become uninitialised afterwards.

There is little difference between the two kinds of reset in terms of
register settings that result, and we initialise the whole register set
right away anyway.  However this prevents a hang from happening should
the console output handler in the firmware try to access the other port
whose transmitter has been disabled and line parameters messed up.

For example this will happen if the keyboard port (port A) is chosen for
the system console, unusually but not insanely for a headless system, as
the port is wired to a standard DA-15 connector and an adapter can be
easily made.  Or with the next change in place this would happen for the
regular console port (port B), since the keyboard port (port A) will be
initialised first.

Just remove the unnecessary complication then, a channel reset is good
enough.  We still need the initialisation marker, now per channel rather
than per SCC, as for the console port zs_reset() will be called twice:
once early on via zs_serial_console_init() for the console setup only,
and then again via zs_config_port() as the port is associated with a TTY
device.
