This patch adds extack coverage in vxlan link

====================
devlink: make ethtool compat reliable
This is a follow up to the series which added device flash
updates via devlink. I went with the approach of adding a
new NDO in the end. It seems to end up looking cleaner.
First patch removes the option to build devlink as a module.
Users can still decide to not build it, but the module option
ends up not being worth the maintenance cost.
Next two patches add a NDO which can be used to ask the driver
to return a devlink instance associated with a given netdev,
instead of iterating over devlink ports. Drivers which implement
this NDO must take into account the potential impact on the
visibility of the devlink instance.
With the new NDO in place we can remove NFP ethtool flash update
code.
Fifth patch makes sure we hold a reference to dev while
callbacks are active.
Last but not least the NULL-check of devlink->ops is moved
to instance allocation time.
Last but not least missing checks for devlink->ops are added.
There is currently no driver registering devlink without ops,
so can just fix this in -next.
v2 (Michal): add netdev_to_devlink() in patch 3.
v3 (Florian):
- add missing checks for devlink->ops;
- move locking/holding into devlink_compat_ functions.
v4 (Jiri):
- hold devlink_mutex around callbacks (patch 2);
- require non-NULL ops (patch 6).

Commit 76726ccb7f46 ("devlink: add flash update command") and
commit 2d8dc5bbf4e7 ("devlink: Add support for reload")
access devlink ops without NULL-checking. There is, however, no
driver which would pass in NULL ops, so let's just make that
a requirement. Remove the now unnecessary NULL-checking.

Being able to build devlink as a module causes growing pains.
First all drivers had to add a meta dependency to make sure
they are not built in when devlink is built as a module. Now
we are struggling to invoke ethtool compat code reliably.
Make devlink code built-in, users can still not build it at
all but the dynamically loadable module option is removed.

The SDIO firmware does not provide RSSI value to the host, it's only set to
zero. In that case don't report the value to mac80211. One risk here is that
value zero might be a valid value with other firmware, currently there's no way
to detect that.
Without the fix, the rssi value indicated by iw changes between the actual

When the driver receives the tx completion of the
descriptor over ce, it clears the nbytes configured
for that particular descriptor. WCN3990 uses ce
descriptors with 64-bit address.
Currently during handling the tx completion of the
descriptors, the nbytes are accessed from the descriptors
using ce_desc for 32-bit targets. This will lead to clearing
of memory at incorrect offset if DMA MASK is set to greater
than 32 bits.
Attach different ce tx copy completed handler for targets
using address above 32-bit address.

This warning seems to make no sense on the surface because opcode is set

The OPAL call wrapper gets interrupt disabling wrong. It disables
interrupts just by clearing MSR[EE], which has two problems:
- It doesn't call into the IRQ tracing subsystem, which means tracing
across OPAL calls does not always notice IRQs have been disabled.
- It doesn't go through the IRQ soft-mask code, which causes a minor
bug. MSR[EE] can not be restored by saving the MSR then clearing
MSR[EE], because a racing interrupt while soft-masked could clear
MSR[EE] between the two steps. This can cause MSR[EE] to be
incorrectly enabled when the OPAL call returns. Fortunately that
should only result in another masked interrupt being taken to
disable MSR[EE] again, but it's a bit sloppy.
The existing code also saves MSR to PACA, which is not re-entrant if
there is a nested OPAL call from different MSR contexts, which can
happen these days with SRESET interrupts on bare metal.
To fix these issues, move the tracing and IRQ handling code to C, and
call into asm just for the low level call when everything is ready to
go. Save the MSR on stack rather than PACA.
Performance cost is kept to a minimum with a few optimisations:
- The endian switch upon return is combined with the MSR restore,
which avoids an expensive context synchronizing operation for LE
kernels. This makes up for the additional mtmsrd to enable
interrupts with local_irq_enable().
- blr is now used to return from the opal_* functions that are called
as C functions, to avoid link stack corruption. This requires a
skiboot fix as well to keep the call stack balanced.
A NULL call is more costly after this, (410ns->430ns on POWER9), but
OPAL calls are generally not performance critical at this scale.

HV interrupts that use HSRR registers do not enter with MSR[RI] clear,
but their entry code is not recoverable vs NMI, due to shared use of
HSPRG1 as a scratch register to save r13.
This means that a system reset or machine check that hits in HSRR
interrupt entry can cause r13 to be silently corrupted.
Fix this by marking NMIs non-recoverable if they land in HV interrupt

If the provided fwnode is an OF node, set dev.of_node as well.
Also add an of_node_reused flag to struct platform_device_info and copy
this to the new device. This is needed to avoid pinctrl settings being
requested twice. See 4e75e1d7dac9 ("driver core: add helper to reuse a
device-tree node") for a longer explanation.
Some drivers are just shims that create extra "glue" devices with the
DT device as parent and have the real driver bind to these. In these
cases, the glue device needs to get a reference to the original DT node
in order for the main driver to access properties and child nodes.
For example, the sunxi-musb driver creates such a glue device using
platform_device_register_full(). Consequently, devices attached to
this USB interface don't get associated with DT nodes, if present,
the way they do with EHCI.
This change will allow sunxi-musb and similar drivers to easily
propagate the DT node to child devices as required.

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo entry[];
};
size = sizeof(struct foo) + count * sizeof(struct boo);
instance = kzalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL);
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:
instance = kzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);
Notice that, in this case, variable siz is not necessary, hence
it is removed.
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
