commit 8d84b18f5678d3adfdb9375dfb0d968da2dc753d upstream.

devm_ioremap_resource() prefers calling devm_request_mem_region() with a
resource name instead of a device name -- this looks pretty iff a resource
name isn't specified via a device tree with a "reg-names" property (in this
case, a resource name is set to a device node's full name), but if it is,
it doesn't really scale since these names are only unique to a given device
node, not globally; so, looking at the output of 'cat /proc/iomem', you do
not have an idea which memory region belongs to which device (see "dirmap",
"regs", and "wbuf" lines below):

08000000-0bffffff : dirmap
48000000-bfffffff : System RAM

I think that devm_request_mem_region() should be called with dev_name()
despite the region names won't look as pretty as before (however, we gain
more consistency with e.g. the serial driver:

commit 1f35d04a02a652f14566f875aef3a6f2af4cb77b upstream.

The iomap[] array has PCIM_IOMAP_MAX (6) elements and not
DEVICE_COUNT_RESOURCE (16).  This bug was found using a static checker.
It may be that the "if (!(mask &amp; (1 &lt;&lt; i)))" check means we never
actually go past the end of the array in real life.

<title>Kconfig: rename HAS_IOPORT to HAS_IOPORT_MAP</title>

<id>ce816fa88cca083c47ab9000b2138a83043a78be</id>
<content type='text'>
If the renamed symbol is defined lib/iomap.c implements ioport_map and
ioport_unmap and currently (nearly) all platforms define the port
accessor functions outb/inb and friend unconditionally.  So
HAS_IOPORT_MAP is the better name for this.

Consequently NO_IOPORT is renamed to NO_IOPORT_MAP.

The motivation for this change is to reintroduce a symbol HAS_IOPORT
that signals if outb/int et al are available.  I will address that at
least one merge window later though to keep surprises to a minimum and
catch new introductions of (HAS|NO)_IOPORT.

The changes in this commit were done using:

	$ git grep -l -E '(NO|HAS)_IOPORT' | xargs perl -p -i -e 's/\b((?:CONFIG_)?(?:NO|HAS)_IOPORT)\b/$1_MAP/'

<title>lib/devres.c: fix some sparse warnings</title>

<id>b104d6a5a82a56dbba8f743144e21d63ad181773</id>
<content type='text'>
Having a discussion about sparse warnings in the kernel, and that we
should clean them up, I decided to pick a random file to do so.  This
happened to be devres.c which gives the following warnings:

    CHECK   lib/devres.c
  lib/devres.c:83:9: warning: cast removes address space of expression
  lib/devres.c:117:31: warning: incorrect type in return expression (different address spaces)
  lib/devres.c:117:31:    expected void [noderef] &lt;asn:2&gt;*
  lib/devres.c:117:31:    got void *
  lib/devres.c:125:31: warning: incorrect type in return expression (different address spaces)
  lib/devres.c:125:31:    expected void [noderef] &lt;asn:2&gt;*
  lib/devres.c:125:31:    got void *
  lib/devres.c:136:26: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)
  lib/devres.c:136:26:    expected void [noderef] &lt;asn:2&gt;*[assigned] dest_ptr
  lib/devres.c:136:26:    got void *
  lib/devres.c:226:9: warning: cast removes address space of expression

Mostly it's just the use of typecasting to void * without adding
__force, or returning ERR_PTR(-ESOMEERR) without typecasting to a
__iomem type.

I added a helper macro IOMEM_ERR_PTR() that does the typecast to make
the code a little nicer than adding ugly typecasts to the code.

<title>lib/devres.c: fix misplaced #endif</title>

<content type='text'>
A misplaced #endif causes link errors related to pcim_*() functions.

This is because pcim_*() functions are related to CONFIG_PCI option,
however these are not related to CONFIG_HAS_IOPORT option.  Therefore,
when CONFIG_PCI is enabled and CONFIG_HAS_IOPORT is not enabled, it makes
link errors related to pcim_*() functions as below:

drivers/ata/libata-sff.c:3233: undefined reference to `pcim_iomap_regions'
drivers/ata/libata-sff.c:3238: undefined reference to `pcim_iomap_table'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `ata_pci_sff_init_host':
drivers/ata/libata-sff.c:2318: undefined reference to `pcim_iomap_regions'

A misplaced #endif causes link errors related to pcim_*() functions.

This is because pcim_*() functions are related to CONFIG_PCI option,
however these are not related to CONFIG_HAS_IOPORT option.  Therefore,
when CONFIG_PCI is enabled and CONFIG_HAS_IOPORT is not enabled, it makes
link errors related to pcim_*() functions as below:

drivers/ata/libata-sff.c:3233: undefined reference to `pcim_iomap_regions'
drivers/ata/libata-sff.c:3238: undefined reference to `pcim_iomap_table'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `ata_pci_sff_init_host':
drivers/ata/libata-sff.c:2318: undefined reference to `pcim_iomap_regions'
drivers/ata/libata-sff.c:2329: undefined reference to `pcim_iomap_table

The ERR_PTR() and IS_ERR() macros used by the devm_ioremap_resource()
function are defined in the linux/err.h header. On ARM this seems to be
pulled in by one of the other headers but the build fails at least on
OpenRISC.

<title>lib: devres: Introduce devm_ioremap_resource()</title>

The devm_request_and_ioremap() function is very useful and helps avoid a
whole lot of boilerplate. However, one issue that keeps popping up is
its lack of a specific error code to determine which of the steps that
it performs failed. Furthermore, while the function gives an example and
suggests what error code to return on failure, a wide variety of error
codes are used throughout the tree.

In an attempt to fix these problems, this patch adds a new function that
drivers can transition to. The devm_ioremap_resource() returns a pointer
to the remapped I/O memory on success or an ERR_PTR() encoded error code
on failure. Callers can check for failure using IS_ERR() and determine
its cause by extracting the error code using PTR_ERR().

devm_request_and_ioremap() is implemented as a wrapper around the new
API and return NULL on failure as before. This ensures that backwards
compatibility is maintained until all users have been converted to the
new API, at which point the old devm_request_and_ioremap() function
should be removed.

A semantic patch is included which can be used to convert from the old
devm_request_and_ioremap() API to the new devm_ioremap_resource() API.
Some non-trivial cases may require manual intervention, though.

For files only using THIS_MODULE and/or EXPORT_SYMBOL, map
them onto including export.h -- or if the file isn't even
using those, then just delete the include.  Fix up any implicit
include dependencies that were being masked by module.h along
the way.
