In nvidiafb_probe(), the memory allocated for modelist in
nvidia_set_fbinfo() is not freed in the subsequent error paths.
Fix that by calling fb_destroy_modelist().

<title>fbdev: Consistently define pci_device_ids using named initializers</title>

... and PCI device helpers.

The various struct pci_device_id arrays were initialized mostly by list
expressions. This isn't easily readable if you're not into PCI. Using
named initializers is more explicit and thus easier to parse. Also use
PCI_DEVICE* helper macros to assign .vendor, .device, .subvendor and
.subdevice where appropriate and skip explicit assignments of 0 (which
the compiler takes care of).

The secret plan is to make struct pci_device_id::driver_data an
anonymous union (similar to
https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1776579304.git.u.kleine-koenig@baylibre.com/)
and that requires named initializers. But it's also a nice cleanup on
its own.

While touching all these arrays, unify usage of whitespace and comma
in a few drivers.

This change doesn't introduce changes to the compiled pci_device_id
array. Tested on x86 and arm64.

<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

<id>bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>

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>

<id>69050f8d6d075dc01af7a5f2f550a8067510366f</id>
<content type='text'>
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 *".

The actual length of const string "noaccel" is 7, but the strncmp()
branch in nvidiafb_setup() wrongly hard codes it as 6.

Fix by using actual length 7 as argument of the strncmp().
