Using guard notation makes the code more compact and error handling
more robust by ensuring that locks are released in all code paths
when control leaves critical section.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big set of driver core changes for 6.11-rc1.
Lots of stuff in here, with not a huge diffstat, but apis are evolving
which required lots of files to be touched. Highlights of the changes
in here are:
- platform remove callback api final fixups (Uwe took many releases
to get here, finally!)
- Rust bindings for basic firmware apis and initial driver-core
interactions.
It's not all that useful for a "write a whole driver in rust" type
of thing, but the firmware bindings do help out the phy rust
drivers, and the driver core bindings give a solid base on which
others can start their work.
There is still a long way to go here before we have a multitude of
rust drivers being added, but it's a great first step.
- driver core const api changes.
This reached across all bus types, and there are some fix-ups for
some not-common bus types that linux-next and 0-day testing shook
out.
This work is being done to help make the rust bindings more safe,
as well as the C code, moving toward the end-goal of allowing us to
put driver structures into read-only memory. We aren't there yet,
but are getting closer.
- minor devres cleanups and fixes found by code inspection
- arch_topology minor changes
- other minor driver core cleanups
All of these have been in linux-next for a very long time with no
reported problems"

In the match() callback, the struct device_driver * should not be
changed, so change the function callback to be a const *. This is one
step of many towards making the driver core safe to have struct
device_driver in read-only memory.
Because the match() callback is in all busses, all busses are modified
to handle this properly. This does entail switching some container_of()
calls to container_of_const() to properly handle the constant *.
For some busses, like PCI and USB and HV, the const * is cast away in
the match callback as those busses do want to modify those structures at
this point in time (they have a local lock in the driver structure.)
That will have to be changed in the future if they wish to have their
struct device * in read-only-memory.

The driver core ignores the return value of this callback because there
is only little it can do when a device disappears.
This is the final bit of a long lasting cleanup quest where several
buses were converted to also return void from their remove callback.
Additionally some resource leaks were fixed that were caused by drivers
returning an error code in the expectation that the driver won't go
away.
With struct bus_type::remove returning void it's prevented that newly
implemented buses return an ignored error code and so don't anticipate
wrong expectations for driver authors.

Devices connected to serio bus are quite slow, and to improve apparent
speed of resume process, serio core resumes (reconnects) its devices
asynchronously, by posting port reconnect requests to a workqueue.
Unfortunately this means that if there is a dependent device of a given
serio port (for example SMBus part of touchpad connected via both PS/2 and
SMBus), we do not have a good way of ensuring resume order.
This change allows drivers to define "fast reconnect" handlers that would
be called in-line during system resume. Drivers need to ensure that these
handlers are truly "fast".

Now serio_find_driver() will print warnings in case device_attach()

- DD core can report the same if required
- since commit 013c074f8642 ("PM / sleep: prohibit devices probing

System suspend and deferred device will be carefully reprobed once

serio devices exposed via platform firmware interfaces such as ACPI may
provide additional identifying information of use to userspace.
We don't associate the serio devices with the firmware device (we don't
set it as parent), so there's no way for userspace to make use of this
information.
We cannot change the parent for serio devices instantiated though a
firmware interface as that would break suspend / resume ordering.
Therefore this patch adds a new firmware_id sysfs attribute so that
userspace can get a string from there with any additional identifying
information the firmware interface may provide.

As part of the removal of get_driver()/put_driver(), this patch
(as1510) changes driver_find(); it now drops the reference it acquires
before returning. The patch also adjusts all the callers of
driver_find() to remove the now unnecessary calls to put_driver().
In addition, the patch adds a warning to driver_find(): Callers must
make sure the driver they are searching for does not get unloaded
while they are using it. This has always been the case; driver_find()
has never prevented a driver from being unregistered or unloaded.
Hence the patch will not introduce any new bugs. The existing callers
all seem to be okay in this respect, however I don't understand the
video drivers well enough to be certain about them.

Commit 8ee294cd9def0004887da7f44b80563493b0a097 converted serio
subsystem event handling from using a dedicated thread to using
common workqueue. Unfortunately, this regressed our boot times,
due to the fact that serio jobs take long time to execute. While
the new concurrency managed workqueue code manages long-playing
works just fine and schedules additional workers as needed, such
works wreck havoc among remaining users of flush_scheduled_work().
To solve this problem let's move serio/gameport works from system_wq
to system_long_wq which nobody tries to flush.

When rebinding a serio driver via sysfs drvctl interface it is
possible for an interrupt to trigger after the disconnect of the
existing driver and before the binding of the new driver. This will
cause the serio interrupt handler to queue a rescan event which will
disconnect the new driver immediately after it is attached.
This change removes pending rescans from the serio event queue after
processing the drvctl request but before releasing the serio mutex.
Reproduction involves issuing a rebind of device port from psmouse
driver to serio_raw driver while generating input to trigger
interrupts. Then checking to see if the corresponding
i8042/serio4/driver is correctly attached to the serio_raw driver
instead of psmouse.

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

We need to take serio->drv_mutex in serio_cleanup() to prevent the
function from being called while driver is in the middle of attaching
to a serio port. Such situation can happen with i8042 and atkbd drivers
if user rapidly presses Ctrl-Alt-Del during system startup, and leads
to kernel oops.

The subsystem rwsem is not used by the driver core at all, so there is
no point in trying to access it.

Let serio subsystem take care of suspending the ports; concentrate
on suspending/resuming the controller itself.

This adds the module name to all SERIO drivers, if they are built into
the kernel or not. It will show up in /sys/modules/MODULE_NAME/drivers/
