<title>iov_iter: Separate type from direction and use accessor functions</title>

<content type='text'>
In the iov_iter struct, separate the iterator type from the iterator
direction and use accessor functions to access them in most places.

Convert a bunch of places to use switch-statements to access them rather
then chains of bitwise-AND statements.  This makes it easier to add further
iterator types.  Also, this can be more efficient as to implement a switch
of small contiguous integers, the compiler can use ~50% fewer compare
instructions than it has to use bitwise-and instructions.

Further, cease passing the iterator type into the iterator setup function.
The iterator function can set that itself.  Only the direction is required.

Otherwise cronus putmem fails istep and BML fails to upload skiboot

To do that, we still use our one-page command buffer for small commands
for speed, and for anything bigger, with a limit of 1MB plus a page,
we vmalloc a temporary buffer.

The limit was chosen because Cronus will break up any data transfer
into 1M chunks (the extra page is for the command header).

silly mistake, compounded by a testing mistake on
my side, this specific driver wasn't being tested
properly.

The bus scanning process isn't terribly good at parallel attempts
at rescanning the same bus. Let's have a per-master mutex protecting
the scanning process.

<content type='text'>
This aims to deprecate the "raw" sysfs file used for directly
accessing the CFAM and instead use a char device like the
other sub drivers.

Since it reworks the slave creation code and adds a cfam device
type, we also use the opportunity to convert the attributes
to attribute groups and add a couple more.

chardev allocator and use a real cdev instead of a miscdev.

This converts FSI sbefifo to use the new fsi-core controlled
chardev allocator and use a real cdev instead of a miscdev.

One side effect is to fix the object lifetime by removing
the use of devm_kzalloc() for something that contains kobjects,
and using proper reference counting.

<id>urn:sha1:0ab5fe5374743d5a279b1ff6297ef2c54d06cd5f</id>
<content type='text'>
The various FSI devices (sbefifo, occ, scom, more to come)
currently use misc devices.

This is problematic as the minor device space for misc is
limited and there can be a lot of them. Also it limits our
ability to move them to a dedicated /dev/fsi directory or
to be smart about device naming and numbering.

It also means we have IDAs on every single of these drivers

This creates a common fsi "device_type" for the optional
/dev/fsi grouping and a dev_t allocator for all FSI devices.

"Legacy" devices get to use a backward compatible numbering
scheme (as long as chip id &lt;16 and there's only one copy
of a given unit type per chip).

A single major number and a single IDA are shared for all
FSI devices.

This doesn't convert the FSI device drivers to use the new
scheme yet, they will be converted individually.
