There are a lot of different structures that need to have a "frozen" abi
for the next 5+ years. Add padding to a lot of them in order to be able
to handle any future changes that might be needed due to LTS and
security fixes that might come up.
It's a best guess, based on what has happened in the past from the
5.4.0..5.4.129 release (1 1/2 years). Yes, past changes do not mean
that future changes will also be needed in the same area, but that is a
hint that those areas are both well maintained and looked after, and
there have been previous problems found in them.
Also the list of structures that are being required based on OEM usage
in the android/ symbol lists were consulted as that's a larger list than
what has been changed in the past.
Hopefully we caught everything we need to worry about, only time will
tell...

Populate the owner field of the spmi driver when
spmi_driver_register() is called in a similar fashion to how
other *_driver_register() functions do it. This saves driver
writers from having to do this themselves.

System Power Management Interface (SPMI) is a specification
developed by the MIPI (Mobile Industry Process Interface) Alliance
optimized for the real time control of Power Management ICs (PMIC).
SPMI is a two-wire serial interface that supports up to 4 master
devices and up to 16 logical slaves.
The framework supports message APIs, multiple busses (1 controller
per bus) and multiple clients/slave devices per controller.
