<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>
<content type='text'>
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

<id>urn:sha1:69050f8d6d075dc01af7a5f2f550a8067510366f</id>
<content type='text'>
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Variable ret is being assigned a value that is never read, the following
goto statement jumps to a statement that assigns ret a return from the
call to function do_write_oneword_once. The assignment is redundant
and can be removed.

In two functions the variable timeo is being initialized with a value
that is never read, it is being re-assigned later on. The initializations
are redundant and can be removed.

<title>mfd: Explicitly include correct DT includes</title>

<content type='text'>
The DT of_device.h and of_platform.h date back to the separate
of_platform_bus_type before it as merged into the regular platform bus.
As part of that merge prepping Arm DT support 13 years ago, they
"temporarily" include each other. They also include platform_device.h
and of.h. As a result, there's a pretty much random mix of those include
files used throughout the tree. In order to detangle these headers and
replace the implicit includes with struct declarations, users need to
explicitly include the correct includes.

<title>mtd: chips: Use SPDX license headers</title>

<content type='text'>
Some of the files in mtd/chips do not have a SPDX license
header, presumably because the text string "GPL'd" didn't
parse with Thomas rulesets for magic license tagging.

Fix this, the code is initially from RedHat which clearly
targeted the Linux kernel and intended it to be GPLv2.

In any case the original author appears to be David
Woodhouse who can then confirm this.

<id>urn:sha1:0a8e98305f63deaf0a799d5cf5532cc83af035d1</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit dfeae1073583("mtd: cfi_cmdset_0002: Change write buffer to
check correct value") buffered writes fail on S29GL064N. This is
because, on S29GL064N, reads return 0xFF at the end of DQ polling for
write completion, where as, chip_good() check expects actual data
written to the last location to be returned post DQ polling completion.
Fix is to revert to using chip_good() for S29GL064N which only checks
for DQ lines to settle down to determine write completion.
