Pull SoC fixes from Arnd Bergmann:
 "There are a few minor code fixes for tegra firmware, i.MX firmware
  and the eyeq reset controller, and a MAINTAINERS update as Alyssa
  Rosenzweig moves on to non-kernel projects.

  The other changes are all for devicetree files:

   - Multiple Marvell Armada SoCs need changes to fix PCIe, audio and
     SATA

   - A socfpga board fails to probe the ethernet phy

   - The two temperature sensors on i.MX8MP are swapped

   - Allwinner devicetree files cause build-time warnings

   - Two Rockchip based boards need corrections for headphone detection
     and SPI flash"

The IPC shared memory can reside in system memory or SRAM. In the latter
case the memory-region property is expected not to be present, so do not
warn about it.

The API documenation of setup_mm_hdr does not mention that dptr can be
NULL, this is a local function, and no caller passes NULL. So drop the
unneeded check.

<content type='text'>
When we are low on memory or when the internal API is violated, we
cannot return EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES. According to the UEFI standard, that
error code is either related to persistent storage used for the variable
or even not foreseen as possible error (GetVariable e.g.). Use the not
fully accurate but compliant error code EFI_DEVICE_ERROR in those cases.

<title>efi: stmm: Fix incorrect buffer allocation method</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c5e81e672699e0c5557b2b755cc8f7a69aa92bff</id>
<content type='text'>
The communication buffer allocated by setup_mm_hdr() is later on passed
to tee_shm_register_kernel_buf(). The latter expects those buffers to be
contiguous pages, but setup_mm_hdr() just uses kmalloc(). That can cause
various corruptions or BUGs, specifically since commit 9aec2fb0fd5e
("slab: allocate frozen pages"), though it was broken before as well.

Fix this by using alloc_pages_exact() instead of kmalloc().

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "A quick summary: perf support for Branch Record Buffer Extensions
  (BRBE), typical PMU hardware updates, small additions to MTE for
  store-only tag checking and exposing non-address bits to signal
  handlers, HAVE_LIVEPATCH enabled on arm64, VMAP_STACK forced on.

  There is also a TLBI optimisation on hardware that does not require
  break-before-make when changing the user PTEs between contiguous and
  non-contiguous.

  More details:

  Perf and PMU updates:

   - Add support for new (v3) Hisilicon SLLC and DDRC PMUs

   - Add support for Arm-NI PMU integrations that share interrupts
     between clock domains within a given instance

   - Allow SPE to be configured with a lower sample period than the
     minimum recommendation advertised by PMSIDR_EL1.Interval

   - Add suppport for Arm's "Branch Record Buffer Extension" (BRBE)

   - Adjust the perf watchdog period according to cpu frequency changes

   - Minor driver fixes and cleanups

  Hardware features:

   - Support for MTE store-only checking (FEAT_MTE_STORE_ONLY)

   - Support for reporting the non-address bits during a synchronous MTE
     tag check fault (FEAT_MTE_TAGGED_FAR)

   - Optimise the TLBI when folding/unfolding contiguous PTEs on
     hardware with FEAT_BBM (break-before-make) level 2 and no TLB
     conflict aborts

  Software features:

   - Enable HAVE_LIVEPATCH after implementing arch_stack_walk_reliable()
     and using the text-poke API for late module relocations

   - Force VMAP_STACK always on and change arm64_efi_rt_init() to use
     arch_alloc_vmap_stack() in order to avoid KASAN false positives

  ACPI:

   - Improve SPCR handling and messaging on systems lacking an SPCR
     table

  Debug:

   - Simplify the debug exception entry path

   - Drop redundant DBG_MDSCR_* macros

  Kselftests:

   - Cleanups and improvements for SME, SVE and FPSIMD tests

  Miscellaneous:

   - Optimise loop to reduce redundant operations in contpte_ptep_get()

   - Remove ISB when resetting POR_EL0 during signal handling

   - Mark the kernel as tainted on SEA and SError panic

   - Remove redundant gcs_free() call"
