Pull driver core updates from Greg KH: "Here is the "big" set of driver core patches for 4.21-rc1. It's not really big, just a number of small changes for some reported issues, some documentation updates to hopefully make it harder for people to abuse the driver model, and some other minor cleanups.

kobject: return error code if writing /sys/.../uevent fails

2018-12-06T15:07:43Z

Propagate error code back to userspace if writing the /sys/.../uevent file fails. Before, the write operation always returned with success, even if we failed to recognize the input string or if we failed to generate the uevent itself. With the error codes properly propagated back to userspace, we are able to react in userspace accordingly by not assuming and awaiting a uevent that is not delivered.

kref/kobject: Improve documentation

2018-12-06T12:57:03Z

The current kref and kobject documentation may be insufficient to understand these common pitfalls regarding object lifetime and object releasing. Add a bit more documentation and improve the warnings seen by the user, pointing to the right piece of documentation. Also, it's important to understand that making fun of people publicly is not at all helpful, doesn't provide any value, and it's not a healthy way of encouraging developers to do better. "Mocking mercilessly" will, if anything, make developers feel bad and go away. This kind of behavior should not be encouraged or justified.

drivers: base: Introducing software nodes to the firmware node framework

2018-11-26T17:19:11Z

Software node is a new struct fwnode_handle type that can be used to describe devices in kernel (software). It is meant to complement fwnodes representing real firmware nodes when they are incomplete (for example missing device properties) and to supply the primary fwnode when the firmware lacks hardware description for a device completely. The software node type is really meant to replace the currently used "property_set" struct fwnode_handle type. The handling of struct property_set is glued to the generic device property handling code, and it is not possible to create a struct property_set independently from the device that it is bind to. struct property_set is only created when device properties are added to already initialized struct device, and control of it is only possible from the generic property handling code. Software nodes are instead designed to be created independently from the device entries (struct device). It makes them much more flexible, as then the device meant to be bind to the node can be created at a later time, and from another location. It is also possible to bind multiple devices to a single software node if needed. The software node implementation also includes support for node hierarchy, which was the main motivation for this commit. The node hierarchy was something that was requested for the struct property_set, but it did not seem reasonable to try to extend the property_set support for that purpose. struct property_set was really meant only for device property handling like the name suggests. Support for struct property_set is not yet removed in this commit, but it will be in the following one.

ACPI / glue: Add acpi_platform_notify() function

2018-11-26T17:19:11Z

Instead of relying on the "platform_notify" callback hook, introducing separate notification function acpi_platform_notify() and calling that directly from drivers core when device entries are added and removed.

drivers core: Prepare support for multiple platform notifications

2018-11-26T17:19:11Z

Since it should be possible to support several hardware description models at the same time (at least in theory), for example ACPI and devicetree on a running system, the platform notifications need to be handled differently. For now a single "platform_notify" callback function was used to notify the underlying base system which is in charge of the hardware description when a new device entry was added to the system, but that callback is available to only a single base system at the time. This will add a function device_platform_notify() and replace all direct platform_notify() calls with it. device_platform_notify() will first simply call the platform_notify() callback, so this commit has no functional affect, however, the idea is that individual base systems will put their direct notification calls there instead of using the platform_notify function pointer.
