[ Upstream commit 388bcc6ecc609fca1b4920de7dc3806c98ec535e ]

If platform bus driver registration is failed then, accessing
platform bus spin lock (&amp;drv-&gt;driver.bus-&gt;p-&gt;klist_drivers.k_lock)
in __platform_driver_probe() without verifying the return value
__platform_driver_register() can lead to NULL pointer exception.

So check the return value before attempting the spin lock.

One such example is below:

For a custom usecase, I have intentionally failed the platform bus
registration and I expected all the platform device/driver
registrations to fail gracefully. But I came across this panic
issue.

[ Upstream commit 0707cfa5c3ef58effb143db9db6d6e20503f9dec ]

Currently the check that a u32 variable i is &gt;= 0 is always true because
the unsigned variable will never be negative, causing the loop to run
forever.  Fix this by changing the pre-decrement check to a zero check on
i followed by a decrement of i.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unsigned compared against 0")

num_resources in the platform_device struct is declared as a u32.  The
for loops that iterate over num_resources use an int as the counter,
which can cause infinite loops on architectures with smaller ints.
Change the loop counters to u32.

Since this leak has existed for more than 8 years and it does not
reference other parts of the memory, let kmemleak ignore it, so users
don't need to waste time reporting this in the future.

<content type='text'>
When printing the driver_override parameter when it is 4095 and 4094 bytes
long, the printing code would access invalid memory because we need count+1
bytes for printing.

Reject driver_override values of these lengths in driver_override_store().

This is in close analogy to commit 4efe874aace5 ("PCI: Don't read past the
end of sysfs "driver_override" buffer") from Sasha Levin.

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
 "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.13 series.

  Some administrativa:

  I have a slew of 8250 serial patches and the new IOT2040 serial+GPIO
  driver coming in through this tree, along with a whole bunch of Exar
  8250 fixes. These are ACKed by Greg and also hit drivers/platform/*
  where they are ACKed by Andy Shevchenko.

  Speaking about drivers/platform/* there is also a bunch of ACPI stuff
  coming through that route, again ACKed by Andy.

  The MCP23S08 changes are coming in here as well. You already have the
  commits in your tree, so this is just a result of sharing an immutable
  branch between pin control and GPIO.

  Core:
   - Export add/remove for lookup tables so that modules can export GPIO
     descriptor tables.
   - Handle GPIO sleep states: it is now possible to flag that a GPIO
     line may loose its state during suspend/resume of the system to
     save power. This is used in the Wolfson Micro Arizona driver.
   - ACPI-based GPIO was tightened up a lot around the edges.
   - Use bitmap_fill() to speed up a loop.

  New drivers:
   - Exar XRA1403 SPI-based GPIO.
   - MVEBU driver now supports Armada 7K and 8K.
   - LP87565 PMIC GPIO.
   - Renesas R-CAR R8A7743 (RZ/G1M).
   - The new IOT2040 8250 serial/GPIO also comes in through this
     changeset.

  Substantial driver changes:
   - Seriously fix the Exar 8250 GPIO portions to work.
   - The MCP23S08 was moved out to a pin control driver.
   - Convert MEVEBU to use regmap for register access.
   - Drop Vulcan support from the Broadcom driver.
   - Serious cleanup and improvement of the mockup driver, giving us a
     better test coverage.

  Misc:
   - Lots of janitorial clean up.
   - A bunch of documentation fixes"

The modalias sysfs attr is lacking a newline for DT aliases on platform
devices. The macio and ibmebus correctly add the newline, but open code it.
Introduce a new function, of_device_modalias(), that fills the buffer with
the modalias including the newline and update users of the old
of_device_get_modalias function.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the "small" driver core patches for 4.11-rc1.

  Not much here, some firmware documentation and self-test updates, a
  debugfs code formatting issue, and a new feature for call_usermodehelper
  to make it more robust on systems that want to lock it down in a more
  secure way.

  All of these have been linux-next for a while now with no reported
  issues"
