This adds an optional function table on GEM objects.
The main benefit is for drivers that support more than one type of
memory (shmem,vram,cma) for their buffers depending on the hardware it
runs on. With the callbacks attached to the GEM object itself, it is
easier to have core helpers for the the various buffer types. The driver
only has to make the decision about buffer type on GEM object creation
and all other callbacks can be handled by the chosen helper.
drm_driver->gem_prime_res_obj has not been added since there's a todo to
put a reservation_object into drm_gem_object.
v3: Add todo entry
v2: Drop drm_gem_object_funcs->prime_mmap in favour of
drm_gem_prime_mmap() (Daniel Vetter)
v1:
- drm_gem_object_funcs.map -> .prime_map let it only do PRIME mmap like
the function it superseeds (Daniel Vetter)
- Flip around the if ladders and make obj->funcs the first choice
highlighting the fact that this the new default way of doing it

The TPO TPG110 bindings were using the DPI bindings (popular
in the fbdev subsystem) but this misses the finer points
learned in the DRM subsystem.
We need to augment the bindings for proper DRM integration:
the timings are expressed by the hardware, not put into the
device tree. I.e. this hardware is self-describing and can
report the resolutions and timings needed. It should not
be described in the device tree.
Further the device was incorrectly modeled with GPIO lines
instead of an SPI child, even though the device was using
SPI.
No known deployments of the device using device tree
exist, so it should be fine to augment the bindings.

Pull vfs dedup fixes from Dave Chinner:
"This reworks the vfs data cloning infrastructure.
We discovered many issues with these interfaces late in the 4.19 cycle
- the worst of them (data corruption, setuid stripping) were fixed for
XFS in 4.19-rc8, but a larger rework of the infrastructure fixing all
the problems was needed. That rework is the contents of this pull
request.
Rework the vfs_clone_file_range and vfs_dedupe_file_range
infrastructure to use a common .remap_file_range method and supply
generic bounds and sanity checking functions that are shared with the
data write path. The current VFS infrastructure has problems with
rlimit, LFS file sizes, file time stamps, maximum filesystem file
sizes, stripping setuid bits, etc and so they are addressed in these
commits.
We also introduce the ability for the ->remap_file_range methods to
return short clones so that clones for vfs_copy_file_range() don't get
rejected if the entire range can't be cloned. It also allows
filesystems to sliently skip deduplication of partial EOF blocks if
they are not capable of doing so without requiring errors to be thrown
to userspace.
Existing filesystems are converted to user the new remap_file_range
method, and both XFS and ocfs2 are modified to make use of the new
generic checking infrastructure"

Pull compiler attribute updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"This is an effort to disentangle the include/linux/compiler*.h headers
and bring them up to date.
The main idea behind the series is to use feature checking macros
(i.e. __has_attribute) instead of compiler version checks (e.g.
GCC_VERSION), which are compiler-agnostic (so they can be shared,
reducing the size of compiler-specific headers) and version-agnostic.
Other related improvements have been performed in the headers as well,
which on top of the use of __has_attribute it has amounted to a
significant simplification of these headers (e.g. GCC_VERSION is now
only guarding a few non-attribute macros).
This series should also help the efforts to support compiling the
kernel with clang and icc. A fair amount of documentation and comments
have also been added, clarified or removed; and the headers are now
more readable, which should help kernel developers in general.
The series was triggered due to the move to gcc >= 4.6. In turn, this
series has also triggered Sparse to gain the ability to recognize
__has_attribute on its own.
Finally, the __nonstring variable attribute series has been also
applied on top; plus two related patches from Nick Desaulniers for
unreachable() that came a bit afterwards"
