The way the mask is generated in regmap_field_init() is wrong.
Indeed, a field initialized with msb = 31 and lsb = 0 provokes a shift
overflow while calculating the mask field.
On some 32 bits architectures, such as x86, the generated mask is 0,
instead of the expected 0xffffffff.
This patch uses GENMASK() to fix the problem, as this macro is already safe
regarding shift overflow.

Currently the con_id of the acquired clock is printed for debugging
purposes. But in several cases, the con_id is NULL, which doesn't
provide much debugging information when printed. These cases are:
- When explicitly passing a NULL con_id (which means the first clock
tied to the device, if available),
- When not using pm_clk_add(), but pm_clk_add_clk() (which takes a
"struct clk *" directly).
Hence print the actual clock name in addition to (and not instead of;
thanks Grygorii Strashko!) the con_id.
Note that the clock name is not available with legacy clock frameworks,
and the hex pointer address will be printed instead.

The PM Domain code uses ktime_get() to perform various latency
measurements. However, if ktime_get() is called while timekeeping is
suspended, the following warning is printed:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1340 at kernel/time/timekeeping.c:576 ktime_get+0x3
This happens when resuming the PM Domain that contains the clock events
source, which calls pm_genpd_syscore_poweron(). Chain of operations is:
timekeeping_resume()
{
clockevents_resume()
sh_cmt_clock_event_resume()
pm_genpd_syscore_poweron()
pm_genpd_sync_poweron()
genpd_syscore_switch()
genpd_power_on()
ktime_get(), but timekeeping_suspended == 1
...
timekeeping_suspended = 0;
}
Fix this by adding a "timed" parameter to genpd_power_{on,off}() and
pm_genpd_sync_power{off,on}(), to indicate whether latency measurements
are allowed. This parameter is passed as false in
genpd_syscore_switch() (i.e. during syscore suspend/resume), and true in
all other cases.

set_irq_flags is ARM specific with custom flags which have genirq
equivalents. Convert drivers to use the genirq interfaces directly, so we
can kill off set_irq_flags. The translation of flags is as follows:
IRQF_VALID -> !IRQ_NOREQUEST
IRQF_PROBE -> !IRQ_NOPROBE
IRQF_NOAUTOEN -> IRQ_NOAUTOEN
For IRQs managed by an irqdomain, the irqdomain core code handles clearing
and setting IRQ_NOREQUEST already, so there is no need to do this in
.map() functions and we can simply remove the set_irq_flags calls. Some
users also set IRQ_NOPROBE and this has been maintained although it is not
clear that is really needed. There appears to be a great deal of blind
copy and paste of this code.

insert_resource() can fail when the resource added overlaps
(partially or fully) with another.
Device tree and AMBA devices may contain resources that overlap, so they
could not call platform_device_add (see 02bbde7849 ('Revert "of:

On the other hand, device trees are released using
platform_device_unregister(). This function calls platform_device_del(),
which calls release_resource(), that crashes when the resource has not
been added with with insert_resource. This was not an issue when the
device tree could not be modified online, but this is not the case
anymore.
This patch let the flow continue when there is an insert error, after

We currently use flexible arrays with a char at the
end for the remaining internal firmware name uses.
There are two limitations with the way we use this.
Since we're using a flexible array for a string on the
struct if we wanted to use two strings it means we'd
have a disjoint means of handling the strings, one
using the flexible array, and another a char * pointer.
We're also currently not using 'const' for the string.
We wish to later extend some firmware data structures
with other string/char pointers, but we also want to be
very pedantic about const usage. Since we're going to
change things to use 'const' we might as well also address
unified way to use multiple strings on the structs.
Replace the flexible array practice for strings with
kstrdup_const() and kfree_const(), this will avoid
allocations when the vmlinux .rodata is used, and just
allocate a new proper string for us when needed. This
also means we can simplify the struct allocations by
removing the string length from the allocation size
computation, which would otherwise get even more
complicated when supporting multiple strings.

Some init systems may wish to express the desire to have device drivers
run their probe() code asynchronously. This implements support for this
and allows userspace to request async probe as a preference through a
generic shared device driver module parameter, async_probe.
Implementation for async probe is supported through a module parameter
given that since synchronous probe has been prevalent for years some
userspace might exist which relies on the fact that the device driver
will probe synchronously and the assumption that devices it provides
will be immediately available after this.

Some devices take a long time when initializing, and not all drivers are
suited to initialize their devices when they are open. For example,
input drivers need to interrogate their devices in order to publish
device's capabilities before userspace will open them. When such drivers
are compiled into kernel they may stall entire kernel initialization.
This change allows drivers request for their probe functions to be
called asynchronously during driver and device registration (manual
binding is still synchronous). Because async_schedule is used to perform
asynchronous calls module loading will still wait for the probing to
complete.
Note that the end goal is to make the probing asynchronous by default,
so annotating drivers with PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS is a temporary
measure that allows us to speed up boot process while we validating and
fixing the rest of the drivers and preparing userspace.
This change is based on earlier patch by "Luis R. Rodriguez"

Turns out we can automate the handling for the device_may_wakeup()
quite a bit by using the kernel wakeup source list as suggested
by Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@rjwysocki.net>.
And as some hardware has separate dedicated wake-up interrupt
in addition to the IO interrupt, we can automate the handling by
adding a generic threaded interrupt handler that just calls the
device PM runtime to wake up the device.
This allows dropping code from device drivers as we currently
are doing it in multiple ways, and often wrong.
For most drivers, we should be able to drop the following
boilerplate code from runtime_suspend and runtime_resume
functions:
...
device_init_wakeup(dev, true);
...
if (device_may_wakeup(dev))
enable_irq_wake(irq);
...
if (device_may_wakeup(dev))
disable_irq_wake(irq);
...
device_init_wakeup(dev, false);
...
We can replace it with just the following init and exit
time code:
...
device_init_wakeup(dev, true);
dev_pm_set_wake_irq(dev, irq);
...
dev_pm_clear_wake_irq(dev);
device_init_wakeup(dev, false);
...
And for hardware with dedicated wake-up interrupts:
...
device_init_wakeup(dev, true);
dev_pm_set_dedicated_wake_irq(dev, irq);
...
dev_pm_clear_wake_irq(dev);
device_init_wakeup(dev, false);
...

Existing regmap users call regcache_mark_dirty() as part of the
suspend/resume sequence, to tell regcache that non-default values need to
be resynced post-resume. Add an internal "no_sync_defaults" regmap flag
to remember this state, so that regcache_sync() can differentiate between
these two cases:
1) HW was reset, so any cache values that match map->reg_defaults can be
safely skipped. On some chips there are a lot of registers in the
reg_defaults list, so this optimization speeds things up quite a bit.
2) HW was not reset (maybe it was just clock-gated), so if we cached
any writes, they should be sent to the hardware regardless of whether
they match the HW default. Currently this will write out all values in
the regcache, since we don't maintain per-register dirty bits.
