timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree
over and remove the historical wrapper inlines.

Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary.

<title>usb: core: Don't use %pK through printk</title>

<content type='text'>
This is a revert of
commit 2f964780c03b ("USB: core: replace %p with %pK").

When the formatting was changed from %p to %pK that was a security
improvement, as %p would leak raw pointer values to the kernel log.
Since commit ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p")
the regular %p has been improved to avoid this issue.
On the other hand, restricted pointers ("%pK") were never meant to be used
through printk(). They can unintentionally still leak raw pointers or
acquire sleeping looks in atomic contexts.

Switch back to regular %p again.

<content type='text'>
Before commit 53a2d95df836 ("usb: core: add phy notify connect and
disconnect"), phy initialization will be skipped even when shared hcd
doesn't set skip_phy_initialization flag. However, the situation is
changed after the commit. The hcd.c will initialize phy when add shared
hcd. This behavior is unexpected for some platforms which will handle phy
initialization by themselves. To avoid the issue, this will only check
skip_phy_initialization flag of primary hcd since shared hcd normally
follow primary hcd setting.

<title>kcov, usb: disable interrupts in kcov_remote_start_usb_softirq</title>

<id>f85d39dd7ed89ffdd622bc1de247ffba8d961504</id>
<content type='text'>
After commit 8fea0c8fda30 ("usb: core: hcd: Convert from tasklet to BH
workqueue"), usb_giveback_urb_bh() runs in the BH workqueue with
interrupts enabled.

Thus, the remote coverage collection section in usb_giveback_urb_bh()-&gt;
__usb_hcd_giveback_urb() might be interrupted, and the interrupt handler
might invoke __usb_hcd_giveback_urb() again.

This breaks KCOV, as it does not support nested remote coverage collection
sections within the same context (neither in task nor in softirq).

Update kcov_remote_start/stop_usb_softirq() to disable interrupts for the
duration of the coverage collection section to avoid nested sections in
the softirq context (in addition to such in the task context, which are
already handled).

Pull USB / Thunderbolt updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of USB and Thunderbolt changes for 6.9-rc1. Lots
  of tiny changes and forward progress to support new hardware and
  better support for existing devices. Included in here are:

   - Thunderbolt (i.e. USB4) updates for newer hardware and uses as more
     people start to use the hardware

   - default USB authentication mode Kconfig and documentation update to
     make it more obvious what is going on

   - USB typec updates and enhancements

   - usual dwc3 driver updates

   - usual xhci driver updates

   - function USB (i.e. gadget) driver updates and additions

   - new device ids for lots of drivers

   - loads of other small updates, full details in the shortlog

  All of these, including a "last minute regression fix" have been in
  linux-next with no reported issues"

<title>usb: core: hcd: Convert from tasklet to BH workqueue</title>

The only generic interface to execute asynchronously in the BH context is
tasklet; however, it's marked deprecated and has some design flaws. To
replace tasklets, BH workqueue support was recently added. A BH workqueue
behaves similarly to regular workqueues except that the queued work items
are executed in the BH context.

This patch converts usb hcd from tasklet to BH workqueue.
