<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit b5c23a4d291d2ac1dfdd574a68a3a68c8da3069e ]

It seems like, after the request_mem_region(), the corresponding
release_mem_region() must take the same size. This was done
in (now removed due to previous refactoring) charlcd_remove()
but not in the error path in charlcd_probe().

[ Upstream commit 09965a142078080fe7807bab0f6f1890cb5987a4 ]

Commit 2545c1c948a6 ("auxdisplay: Move hwidth and bwidth to struct
hd44780_common") makes charlcd_alloc() argument-less effectively dropping
the single allocation for the struct charlcd_priv object along with
the driver specific one. Restore that behaviour here.

commit 9b98a7d2e5f4e2beeff88f6571da0cdc5883c7fb upstream.

Variable allocated by charlcd_alloc() should be released
by charlcd_free(). The following patch changed kfree() to
charlcd_free() to fix an API misuse.

asm/unaligned.h is always an include of asm-generic/unaligned.h;
might as well move that thing to linux/unaligned.h and include
that - there's nothing arch-specific in that header.

<title>[tree-wide] finally take no_llseek out</title>

no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b14441
("fs: remove no_llseek")

To quote that commit,

  At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek -

  git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do
	sed -i '/\&lt;no_llseek\&gt;/d' $i
  done

  would do it.

Unfortunately, that hadn't been done.  Linus, could you do that now, so
that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the
form
	.llseek = no_llseek,
so it's obviously safe.

'devmodel' hasn't actually been used since:
  'commit 3275158fa52a ("parport: remove use of devmodel")'
and everyone now has it set to true and has been fixed up; remove
the flag.

(There are still comments all over about it)

The reference count is bumped by device_get_named_child_node()
and never dropped. Since LED APIs do not require it to be
bumped by the user, drop the reference after LED registration.
