Add a driver for the Intel USBIO USB IO-expander used by the MIPI cameras
on various new (Meteor Lake and later) Intel laptops.

This is an USB bridge driver which adds auxbus child devices for the GPIO,
I2C and SPI functions of the USBIO chip and which exports IO-functions for
the drivers for the auxbus child devices to communicate with the USBIO
device's firmware.

<title>usb: usb251xb: support usage case without I2C control</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently, the usb251xb assumes i2c control. But from HW point of
view, the hub supports usage case without any i2c, we only want the
gpio controls.

Refactor the code so that register writes for configuration are only
performed if the device has a i2c_client provided and also register as
a platform driver. This allows the driver to be used to manage GPIO
based control of the device.

Use the modern PM macros for the suspend and resume functions to be
automatically dropped by the compiler when CONFIG_PM or

EUD_MODE_MANAGER2 register is mapped to a memory region that is marked
as read-only for operating system running at EL1, enforcing access
restrictions that prohibit direct memory-mapped writes via writel().

Attempts to write to this region from HLOS can result in silent failures
or memory access violations, particularly when toggling EUD (Embedded
USB Debugger) state. To ensure secure register access, modify the driver
to use qcom_scm_io_writel(), which routes the write operation to Qualcomm
Secure Channel Monitor (SCM). SCM has the necessary permissions to access
protected memory regions, enabling reliable control over EUD state.

SC7280, the only user of EUD is also affected, indicating that this could
never have worked on a properly fused device.

When `devm_add_action_or_reset()` fails, it is due to a failed memory
allocation and will thus return `-ENOMEM`. `dev_err_probe()` doesn't do
anything when error is `-ENOMEM`. Therefore, remove the useless call to
`dev_err_probe()` when `devm_add_action_or_reset()` fails, and just
return the value instead.

<content type='text'>
When multiple Apple devices are connected concurrently, the
apple-mfi-fastcharge driver fails to probe the subsequent devices with
the following error:

    sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/class/power_supply/apple_mfi_fastcharge'
    apple-mfi-fastcharge 5-2.4.3.3: probe of 5-2.4.3.3 failed with error -17

This happens because the driver uses a fixed power supply name
("apple_mfi_fastcharge") for all devices, causing a sysfs name
conflict when a second device is connected.

Fix this by generating unique names using the USB bus and device
number (e.g., "apple_mfi_fastcharge_5-12"). This ensures each
connected device gets a unique power supply entry in sysfs.

The change requires storing a copy of the power_supply_desc structure
in the per-device mfi_device struct, since the name pointer needs to
remain valid for the lifetime of the power supply registration.

<content type='text'>
Pull USB / Thunderbolt updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of USB and Thunderbolt changes for 6.16-rc1.
  Included in here are the following:

   - USB offload support for audio devices.

     I think this takes the record for the most number of patch series
     (30+) over the longest period of time (2+ years) to get merged
     properly.

     Many props go to Wesley Cheng for seeing this effort through, they
     took a major out-of-tree hacked-up-monstrosity that was created by
     multiple vendors for their specific devices, got it all merged into
     a semi-coherent set of changes, and got all of the different major
     subsystems to agree on how this should be implemented both with
     changes to their code as well as userspace apis, AND wrangled the
     hardware companies into agreeing to go forward with this, despite
     making them all redo work they had already done in their private
     device trees.

     This feature offers major power savings on embedded devices where a
     USB audio stream can continue to flow while the rest of the system
     is sleeping, something that devices running on battery power really
     care about. There are still some more small tweaks left to be done
     here, and those patches are still out for review and arguing among
     the different hardware companies, but this is a major step forward
     and a great example of how to do upstream development well.

   - small number of thunderbolt fixes and updates, things seem to be
     slowing down here (famous last words...)

   - xhci refactors and reworking to try to handle some rough corner
     cases in some hardware implementations where things don't always
     work properly

   - typec driver updates

   - USB3 power management reworking and updates

   - Removal of some old and orphaned UDC gadget drivers that had not
     been used in a very long time, dropping over 11 thousand lines from
     the tree, always a nice thing, making up for the 12k lines added
     for the USB offload feature.

   - lots of little updates and fixes in different drivers

  All of these have been in linux-next for over 2 weeks, the USB offload
  logic has been in there for 8 weeks now, with no reported issues"

Pull USB / Thunderbolt updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of USB and Thunderbolt changes for 6.16-rc1.
  Included in here are the following:

   - USB offload support for audio devices.

     I think this takes the record for the most number of patch series
     (30+) over the longest period of time (2+ years) to get merged
     properly.

     Many props go to Wesley Cheng for seeing this effort through, they
     took a major out-of-tree hacked-up-monstrosity that was created by
     multiple vendors for their specific devices, got it all merged into
     a semi-coherent set of changes, and got all of the different major
     subsystems to agree on how this should be implemented both with
     changes to their code as well as userspace apis, AND wrangled the
     hardware companies into agreeing to go forward with this, despite
     making them all redo work they had already done in their private
     device trees.

     This feature offers major power savings on embedded devices where a
     USB audio stream can continue to flow while the rest of the system
     is sleeping, something that devices running on battery power really
     care about. There are still some more small tweaks left to be done
     here, and those patches are still out for review and arguing among
     the different hardware companies, but this is a major step forward
     and a great example of how to do upstream development well.

   - small number of thunderbolt fixes and updates, things seem to be
     slowing down here (famous last words...)

   - xhci refactors and reworking to try to handle some rough corner
     cases in some hardware implementations where things don't always
     work properly

   - typec driver updates

   - USB3 power management reworking and updates

   - Removal of some old and orphaned UDC gadget drivers that had not
     been used in a very long time, dropping over 11 thousand lines from
     the tree, always a nice thing, making up for the 12k lines added
     for the USB offload feature.

   - lots of little updates and fixes in different drivers

  All of these have been in linux-next for over 2 weeks, the USB offload
  logic has been in there for 8 weeks now, with no reported issues"
