<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree
over and remove the historical wrapper inlines.

Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary.

Pull ARM SoC boardfile updates from Arnd Bergmann
 "Unused boardfile removal for 6.3

  This is a follow-up to the deprecation of most of the old-style board
  files that was merged in linux-6.0, removing them for good.

  This branch is almost exclusively dead code removal based on those
  annotations. Some device driver removals went through separate
  subsystem trees, but the majority is in the same branch, in order to
  better handle dependencies between the patches and avoid breaking
  bisection.

  Unfortunately that leads to merge conflicts against other changes in
  the subsystem trees, but they should all be trivial to resolve by
  removing the files.

  See commit 7d0d3fa7339e ("Merge tag 'arm-boardfiles-6.0' of
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/soc/soc") for the
  description of which machines were marked unused and are now removed.

  The only removals that got postponed are Terastation WXL (mv78xx0) and
  Jornada720 (StrongARM1100), which turned out to still have potential
  users"

Now that everything except StrongARM is unified under
CONFIG_ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM, the option is rather meaningless
in its current form.

Rework the Kconfig logic to make this useful again, similar
to the way that RISC-V has CONFIG_NONPORTABLE (with the
opposite polarity), this now controls the visibility of
options that get in the way of building generic kernels,
while allowing custom kernels.

One side-effect is that 'randconfig' builds now rarely hit
strongarm machines, rather than testing them three quarters
of the time.

Footbridge is the last Arm platform that has its own
__virt_to_bus()/__bus_to_virt()/phys_to_dma()/dma_to_phys() abstraction,
but this is just a simple offset now.

For PCI devices, the offset that is programmed into the PCI bridge must
also be set in each device using dma_direct_set_offset().  As Arm does
not have a pcibios_bus_add_device() helper yet, just use a bus notifier
for this.

For the ISA DMA, drivers now pass a non-translated physical address into
set_dma_addr(), so they have to be converted back with the corresponding
isa_bus_to_virt() function and then into the correct bus address with
the offset using the isa_dma_dev.

The dma-isa.c was shared between footbridge and shark a long time ago,
but as shark was removed, it can be made footbridge specific again.

The fb_dma bits in turn are not used at all and can be removed.

All the ISA related files are now built into the platform regardless
of CONFIG_ISA, as they just refer to on-chip devices rather than actual
ISA cards.
