Set dma_mask for FFA devices, otherwise DMA allocation using the device pointer
lead to following warning:

[ Upstream commit 7d0bc6360f17ea323ab25939a34857123d7d87e5 ]

Commit 19b8766459c4 ("firmware: arm_ffa: Fix FFA device names for logical
partitions") added an ID to the FFA device using ida_alloc() and append
the same to "arm-ffa" to make up a unique device name. However it missed
to stash the id value in ffa_dev to help freeing the ID later when the
device is destroyed.

Due to the missing/unassigned ID in FFA device, we get the following
warning when the FF-A device is unregistered.

  |   ida_free called for id=0 which is not allocated.

Fix the same by actually assigning the ID in the FFA device this time

[ Upstream commit 3aa0519a4780f1b8e11966bd879d4a2934ba455f ]

As described in the commit 111a833dc5cb ("firmware: arm_ffa: Set
reserved/MBZ fields to zero in the memory descriptors") some fields in
the memory descriptor have to be zeroed explicitly. The handle field is
one of these, but it was left out from that change, fix this now.

commit 111a833dc5cbef3d05b2a796a7e23cb7f6ff2192 upstream.

The transmit buffers allocated by the driver can be used to transmit data
by any messages/commands needing the buffer. However, it is not guaranteed
to have been zero-ed before every new transmission and hence it will just
contain residual value from the previous transmission. There are several
reserved fields in the memory descriptors that must be zero(MBZ). The
receiver can reject the transmission if any such MBZ fields are non-zero.

While we can set the whole page to zero, it is not optimal as most of the
fields get initialised to the value required for the current transmission.

So, just set the reserved/MBZ fields to zero in the memory descriptors
explicitly to honour the requirement and keep the receiver happy.

commit 19b8766459c41c6f318f8a548cc1c66dffd18363 upstream.

Each physical partition can provide multiple services each with UUID.
Each such service can be presented as logical partition with a unique
combination of VM ID and UUID. The number of distinct UUID in a system
will be less than or equal to the number of logical partitions.

However, currently it fails to register more than one logical partition
or service within a physical partition as the device name contains only
VM ID while both VM ID and UUID are maintained in the partition information.
The kernel complains with the below message:

  | sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/arm-ffa-8001'

  | arm_ffa arm-ffa: unable to register device arm-ffa-8001 err=-17
  | ARM FF-A: ffa_setup_partitions: failed to register partition ID 0x8001

By virtue of being random enough to avoid collisions when generated in a
distributed system, there is no way to compress UUID keys to the number
of bits required to identify each. We can eliminate '-' in the name but
it is not worth eliminating 4 bytes and add unnecessary logic for doing
that. Also v1.0 doesn't provide the UUID of the partitions which makes
it hard to use the same for the device name.

So to keep it simple, let us alloc an ID using ida_alloc() and append the
same to "arm-ffa" to make up a unique device name. Also stash the id value
in ffa_dev to help freeing the ID later when the device is destroyed.

commit b71b55248a580e9c9befc4ae060539f1f8e477da upstream.

Currently ffa_drv-&gt;remove() is called unconditionally from
ffa_device_remove(). Since the driver registration doesn't check for it
and allows it to be registered without .remove callback, we need to check
for the presence of it before executing it from ffa_device_remove() to
above a NULL pointer dereference like the one below:

[ Upstream commit 00512d2930b338fdd42bd90bbd1793fe212c2d31 ]

The ffa core driver currently assigns its own driver information
to individual ffa device driver_data which is wrong. Firstly, it leaks
this core driver information to individual ffa_device and hence to
ffa_driver. Secondly the ffa_device driver_data is for use by individual
ffa_driver and not for this core driver managing all those devices.

While we pass uuid_null intentionally to ffa_partition_probe in
ffa_setup_partitions to get the count of the partitions, it must not be
uuid_null in ffa_partition_info_get which is used by the ffa_drivers
to fetch the specific partition info passing the UUID of the partition.

Fix ffa_partition_info_get by passing the received uuid down to
ffa_partition_probe so that the correct partition information is fetched.

When arm_ffa firmware driver module is unloaded or removed we call
__ffa_devices_unregister on all the devices on the ffa bus. It must
unregister all the devices instead it is currently just releasing the
devices without unregistering. That is pure wrong as when we try to
load the module back again, it will result in the kernel crash something
like below.

<id>urn:sha1:244f5d597e1ea519c2085fbd9819458688775e42</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently the arm_ffa firmware driver can be built as module and hence
all the users of FFA driver. If any driver on the ffa bus is removed or
unregistered, the remove callback on all the device bound to the driver
being removed should be callback. For that to happen, we must register
a remove callback on the ffa_bus which is currently missing. This results
in the probe getting called again without the previous remove callback
on a device which may result in kernel crash.

Fix the issue by registering the remove callback on the FFA bus.
