Non-overlay dynamic devicetree node removal may leave the node in
the phandle cache.  Subsequent calls to of_find_node_by_phandle()
will incorrectly find the stale entry.  Remove the node from the
cache.

Add paranoia checks in of_find_node_by_phandle() as a second level
of defense (do not return cached node if detached, do not add node
to cache if detached).

Only some old OpenFirmware implementations rely on default sizes. Any
FDT and modern implementation should have explicit properties. Make the
OF_ROOT_NODE_*_CELLS_DEFAULT defines private so we don't get any outside
users.

This also gets us one step closer to removing the asm/prom.h dependency on
Sparc.

A comment in the review of the patch adding the phandle cache said that
the cache would have to be updated when modules are applied and removed.
This patch implements the cache updates.

Create a cache of the nodes that contain a phandle property.  Use this
cache to find the node for a given phandle value instead of scanning
the devicetree to find the node.  If the phandle value is not found
in the cache, of_find_node_by_phandle() will fall back to the tree
scan algorithm.

The cache is initialized in of_core_init().

The cache is freed via a late_initcall_sync() if modules are not
enabled.

If the devicetree is created by the dtc compiler, with all phandle
property values auto generated, then the size required by the cache
could be 4 * (1 + number of phandles) bytes.  This results in an O(1)
node lookup cost for a given phandle value.  Due to a concern that the
phandle property values might not be consistent with what is generated
by the dtc compiler, a mask has been added to the cache lookup algorithm.
To maintain the O(1) node lookup cost, the size of the cache has been
increased by rounding the number of entries up to the next power of
two.

The overhead of finding the devicetree node containing a given phandle
value has been noted by several people in the recent past, in some cases
with a patch to add a hashed index of devicetree nodes, based on the
phandle value of the node.  One concern with this approach is the extra
space added to each node.  This patch takes advantage of the phandle
property values auto generated by the dtc compiler, which begin with
one and monotonically increase by one, resulting in a range of 1..n
for n phandle values.  This implementation should also provide a good
reduction of overhead for any range of phandle values that are mostly
in a monotonic range.

Performance measurements by Chintan Pandya &lt;cpandya@codeaurora.org&gt;
of several implementations of patches that are similar to this one
suggest an expected reduction of boot time by ~400ms for his test
system.  If the cache size was decreased to 64 entries, the boot
time was reduced by ~340 ms.  The measurements were on a 4.9.73 kernel
for arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/sda670-mtp.dts, contains 2371 nodes and
814 phandle values.

Struct device_node full_name no longer includes the full path name
when the devicetree is created from a flattened device tree (FDT).
The overlay node creation code was not modified to reflect this
change.  Fix the node full_name generated by overlay code to contain
only the basename.

Unittests call an overlay internal function to create new nodes.
Fix up these calls to provide basename only instead of the full
path.

The "%pOF" printf format was recently added to print the
full name of a device tree node, with the intent of changing
the node full_name field to contain only the node name instead
of the full path of the node.

dup_and_fixup_symbol_prop() duplicates a property from the
"/__symbols__" node of an overlay device tree.  The value
of each duplicated property must be fixed up to include
the full path of a node in the live device tree.  The
current code uses the node's full_name for that purpose.
Update the code to use the "%pOF" printf format to
determine the node's full path.

The process of applying an overlay consists of:
  - unflatten an overlay FDT (flattened device tree) into an
    EDT (expanded device tree)
  - fixup the phandle values in the overlay EDT to fit in a
    range above the phandle values in the live device tree
  - create the overlay changeset to reflect the contents of
    the overlay EDT
  - apply the overlay changeset, to modify the live device tree,
    potentially changing the maximum phandle value in the live
    device tree

There is currently no protection against two overlay applies
concurrently determining what range of phandle values are in use
in the live device tree, and subsequently changing that range.
Add a mutex to prevent multiple overlay applies from occurring
simultaneously.

Move of_resolve_phandles() into of_overlay_apply() so that it does not
have to be duplicated by each caller of of_overlay_apply().

The test in of_resolve_phandles() that the overlay tree is detached is
temporarily disabled so that old style overlay unittests do not fail.

When an attempt to apply an overlay changeset fails, an effort

The existing code does not check for failure to recover a failed

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.
