Pull driver core updates from Danilo Krummrich:
"Bus:
- Ensure bus->match() is consistently called with the device lock
held
- Improve type safety of bus_find_device_by_acpi_dev()
Devtmpfs:
- Parse 'devtmpfs.mount=' boot parameter with kstrtoint() instead of
simple_strtoul()
- Avoid sparse warning by making devtmpfs_context_ops static
IOMMU:
- Do not register the qcom_smmu_tbu_driver in arm_smmu_device_probe()
MAINTAINERS:
- Add the new driver-core mailing list (driver-core@lists.linux.dev)
to all relevant entries
- Add missing tree location for "FIRMWARE LOADER (request_firmware)"
- Add driver-model documentation to the "DRIVER CORE" entry
- Add missing driver-core maintainers to the "AUXILIARY BUS" entry
Misc:
- Change return type of attribute_container_register() to void; it
has always been infallible
- Do not export sysfs_change_owner(), sysfs_file_change_owner() and
device_change_owner()
- Move devres_for_each_res() from the public devres header to
drivers/base/base.h
- Do not use a static struct device for the faux bus; allocate it
dynamically
Revocable:
- Patches for the revocable synchronization primitive have been
scheduled for v7.0-rc1, but have been reverted as they need some
more refinement
Rust:
- Device:
- Support dev_printk on all device types, not just the core Device
struct; remove now-redundant .as_ref() calls in dev_* print
calls
- Devres:
- Introduce an internal reference count in Devres<T> to avoid a
deadlock condition in case of (indirect) nesting
- DMA:
- Allow drivers to tune the maximum DMA segment size via
dma_set_max_seg_size()
- I/O:
- Introduce the concept of generic I/O backends to handle
different kinds of device shared memory through a common
interface.
This enables higher-level concepts such as register
abstractions, I/O slices, and field projections to be built
generically on top.
In a first step, introduce the Io, IoCapable<T>, and IoKnownSize
trait hierarchy for sharing a common interface supporting offset
validation and bound-checking logic between I/O backends.
- Refactor MMIO to use the common I/O backend infrastructure
- Misc:
- Add __rust_helper annotations to C helpers for inlining into
Rust code
- Use "kernel vertical" style for imports
- Replace kernel::c_str! with C string literals
- Update ARef imports to use sync::aref
- Use pin_init::zeroed() for struct auxiliary_device_id and
debugfs file_operations initialization
- Use LKMM atomic types in debugfs doc-tests
- Various minor comment and documentation fixes
- PCI:
- Implement PCI configuration space accessors using the common I/O
backend infrastructure
- Document pci::Bar device endianness assumptions
- SoC:
- Abstractions for struct soc_device and struct soc_device_attribute
- Sample driver for soc::Device"
