Pull staging driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here's the big staging driver patchset for 4.1-rc1.

  There's a lot of patches here, the Outreachy application period
  happened during this development cycle, so that means that there was a
  lot of cleanup patches accepted.  Other than the normal coding style
  and sparse fixes here, there are some driver updates and work toward
  making some of the drivers into "mergable" shape (like the Unisys
  drivers.)

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while"

Functions like devm_kzalloc, kmalloc_array, devm_ioremap,
usb_alloc_urb, alloc_netdev return NULL as a return value on failure.
Generally, When NULL represents failure, !x is commonly used.

This patch cleans up the tests on the results of these functions, thereby
using !x instead of x == NULL or NULL == x. This is done via following
coccinelle script:
@prob_7@
identifier x;
statement S;
@@

(
 x = devm_kzalloc(...);
|
 x = usb_alloc_urb(...);
|
 x = kmalloc_array(...);
|
 x = devm_ioremap(...);
|
 x = alloc_netdev(...);
)
 ...
- if(NULL == x)
+ if(!x)
        S
Further we have used isomorphism characteristics of coccinelle to
indicate x == NULL and NULL == x are equivalent. This is done via
following iso script.

Expression
@ is_null @ expression X; @@
X == NULL &lt;=&gt; NULL == X

<title>power_supply: Change ownership from driver to core</title>

<id>urn:sha1:297d716f6260cc9421d971b124ca196b957ee458</id>
<content type='text'>
Change the ownership of power_supply structure from each driver
implementing the class to the power supply core.

The patch changes power_supply_register() function thus all drivers
implementing power supply class are adjusted.

Each driver provides the implementation of power supply. However it
should not be the owner of power supply class instance because it is
exposed by core to other subsystems with power_supply_get_by_name().
These other subsystems have no knowledge when the driver will unregister
the power supply. This leads to several issues when driver is unbound -
mostly because user of power supply accesses freed memory.

Instead let the core own the instance of struct 'power_supply'.  Other
users of this power supply will still access valid memory because it
will be freed when device reference count reaches 0. Currently this
means "it will leak" but power_supply_put() call in next patches will
solve it.

This solves invalid memory references in following race condition
scenario:

Thread 1: charger manager
Thread 2: power supply driver, used by charger manager

THREAD 1 (charger manager)         THREAD 2 (power supply driver)
==========================         ==============================
psy = power_supply_get_by_name()
                                   Driver unbind, .remove
                                     power_supply_unregister()
                                     Device fully removed
psy-&gt;get_property()

The 'get_property' call is executed in invalid context because the driver was
unbound and struct 'power_supply' memory was freed.

This could be observed easily with charger manager driver (here compiled
with max17040 fuel gauge):

<title>power_supply: Move run-time configuration to separate structure</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2dc9215d7c94f7f9f34ccf8b1710ad73d82f6216</id>
<content type='text'>
Add new structure 'power_supply_config' for holding run-time
initialization data like of_node, supplies and private driver data.

The power_supply_register() function is changed so all power supply
drivers need updating.

When registering the power supply this new 'power_supply_config' should be
used instead of directly initializing 'struct power_supply'. This allows
changing the ownership of power_supply structure from driver to the
power supply core in next patches.

When a driver does not use of_node or supplies then it should use NULL
as config. If driver uses of_node or supplies then it should allocate
config on stack and initialize it with proper values.

<content type='text'>
As opposed to platform_get_resource(), the platform_get_irq() function
has special code to handle driver probe deferral when booting using DT
and where an interrupt provider hasn't been registered yet. While this
is unlikely to become an issue for nvec, platform_get_irq() is the
recommended way to get at interrupts.

<content type='text'>
The mfd_add_devices() function takes a struct resource * as fifth
argument, but the nvec driver passes in a void __iomem *. The driver
gets away with it because none of the subdevices ever directly access
the registers.

Since subdevices never need to access the registers we can simply pass
NULL instead.
