Pull char/misc drivers updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the "big" set of char/misc and other driver subsystems for
  6.4-rc1.

  It's pretty big, but due to the removal of pcmcia drivers, almost
  breaks even for number of lines added vs. removed, a nice change.

  Included in here are:

   - removal of unused PCMCIA drivers (finally!)

   - Interconnect driver updates and additions

   - Lots of IIO driver updates and additions

   - MHI driver updates

   - Coresight driver updates

   - NVMEM driver updates, which required some OF updates

   - W1 driver updates and a new maintainer to manage the subsystem

   - FPGA driver updates

   - New driver subsystem, CDX, for AMD systems

   - lots of other small driver updates and additions

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

drivers/of/base.c is quite long and we've accumulated a number of CPU
node functions. Let's move them to a new file, cpu.c, along with the
lone of_cpu_device_node_get() in of_device.h. Moving the declaration has
no effect yet as of.h is included by of_device.h. This serves as
preparation to disentangle the includes in of_device.h and
of_platform.h.

Create a specific .c file for OF related module handling.
Move of_modalias() inside as a first step.

The helper is exposed through of.h even though it is only used by core
files because the users from device.c will soon be split into an OF-only
helper in module.c as well as a device-oriented inline helper in
of_device.h. Putting this helper in of_private.h would require to
include of_private.h from of_device.h, which is not acceptable.

<title>of: Add a common kexec FDT setup function</title>

<id>b30be4dc733e5067b56def359b0823f1e54ded8c</id>
<content type='text'>
Both arm64 and powerpc do essentially the same FDT /chosen setup for
kexec.  The differences are either omissions that arm64 should have
or additional properties that will be ignored.  The setup code can be
combined and shared by both powerpc and arm64.

The differences relative to the arm64 version:
 - If /chosen doesn't exist, it will be created (should never happen).
 - Any old dtb and initrd reserved memory will be released.
 - The new initrd and elfcorehdr are marked reserved.
 - "linux,booted-from-kexec" is set.

The differences relative to the powerpc version:
 - "kaslr-seed" and "rng-seed" may be set.
 - "linux,elfcorehdr" is set.
 - Any existing "linux,usable-memory-range" is removed.

Combine the code for setting up the /chosen node in the FDT and updating
the memory reservation for kexec, for powerpc and arm64, in
of_kexec_alloc_and_setup_fdt() and move it to "drivers/of/kexec.c".

With this, we can kill a few kconfig symbols.

   - Improvements to DT memory usage making sysfs/kobjects optional and

   - Final piece of removing storing the full path for every DT node.
     The prerequisite conversion of printk's to use device_node format
     specifier happened in 4.14.

   - Sync with current upstream dtc. This brings additional checks to
     dtb compiling.

   - Binding doc tree wide removal of leading 0s from examples

   - RTC binding documentation adding missing devices and some
     consolidation of duplicated bindings

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which

Having device_nodes be kobjects is only needed if sysfs or OF_DYNAMIC is
enabled. Otherwise, having a kobject in struct device_node is
unnecessary bloat in minimal kernel configurations.

Likewise, bin_attribute is only needed in struct property when sysfs is
enabled, so we can make it configurable too.
