<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>

<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 *".

Pull i2c updates from Wolfram Sang:
 "This removes the currently unused CLASS_DDC support (controllers set
  the flag, but there is no client to use it).

  Also, CLASS_SPD support gets simplified to prepare removal in the
  future. Class based instantiation is not recommended these days
  anyhow.

  Furthermore, I2C core now creates a debugfs directory per I2C adapter.
  Current bus driver users were converted to use it.

  Finally, quite some driver updates. Standing out are patches for the
  wmt-driver which is refactored to support more variants.

  This is the rebased pull request where a large series for the
  designware driver was dropped"

<content type='text'>
After removal of the legacy EEPROM driver and I2C_CLASS_DDC support in
olpc_dcon there's no i2c client driver left supporting I2C_CLASS_DDC.
Class-based device auto-detection is a legacy mechanism and shouldn't
be used in new code. So we can remove this class completely now.

Initialize the instance of struct fb_ops with fbdev initializer
macros for framebuffers in I/O address space. Set the read/write,
draw and mmap callbacks to the correct implementation and avoid
implicit defaults. Also select the necessary helpers in Kconfig.

Fbdev drivers sometimes rely on the callbacks being NULL for a
default I/O-memory-based implementation to be invoked; hence
requiring the I/O helpers to be built in any case. Setting all
callbacks in all drivers explicitly will allow to make the I/O
helpers optional. This benefits systems that do not use these
functions.

<content type='text'>
The flag FBINFO_DEFAULT is 0 and has no effect, as struct fbinfo.flags
has been allocated to zero by kzalloc(). So do not set it.

Flags should signal differences from the default values. After cleaning
up all occurrences of FBINFO_DEFAULT, the token will be removed.

	* clarify commit message (Geert, Dan)

<title>fbdev: Add support for the nomodeset kernel parameter</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0ba2fa8cbd29278a180ac90bd66b2c0bbdeacc89</id>
<content type='text'>
Support the kernel's nomodeset parameter for all PCI-based fbdev
drivers that use aperture helpers to remove other, hardware-agnostic
graphics drivers.

The parameter is a simple way of using the firmware-provided scanout
buffer if the hardware's native driver is broken. The same effect
could be achieved with per-driver options, but the importance of the
graphics output for many users makes a single, unified approach
worthwhile.

With nomodeset specified, the fbdev driver module will not load. This
unifies behavior with similar DRM drivers. In DRM helpers, modules
first check the nomodeset parameter before registering the PCI
driver. As fbdev has no such module helpers, we have to modify each
driver individually.

The name 'nomodeset' is slightly misleading, but has been chosen for
historical reasons. Several drivers implemented it before it became a
general option for DRM. So keeping the existing name was preferred over
introducing a new one.

v2:
	* print a warning if a driver does not init (Helge)
	* wrap video_firmware_drivers_only() in helper
