Revert commit 66b1ed5aa8dd "ACPICA: ACPI 2.0, Hardware: Add
access_width/bit_offset support for acpi_hw_write()" that is reported
to break suspend-to-RAM (ACPI S3) on one system.

The root cause of the failure is a wrong access width value for one of
the involved registers provided by the ACPI tables, but before commit
66b1ed5aa8dd that value was not taken into account at all and things
worked.

According to the Windows probing result, during the table loading, the EC
device described in the ECDT should be used. And the ECDT EC is also
effective during the period the namespace objects are initialized (we can
see a separate process executing _STA/_INI on Windows before executing
other device specific control methods, for example, EC._REG). During the
device enumration, the EC device described in the DSDT should be used. But
there are differences between Linux and Windows around the device probing
order. Thus in Linux, we should enable the DSDT EC as early as possible
before enumerating devices in order not to trigger issues related to the
device enumeration order differences.

This patch thus converts acpi_boot_ec_enable() into acpi_ec_dsdt_probe() to
fix the gap. This also fixes a user reported regression triggered after we
switched the "table loading"/"ECDT support" to be ACPI spec 2.0 compliant.

Roland Dreier reports that one of his systems cannot boot because of
the changes made by commit ac212b6980d8 (ACPI / processor: Use common
hotplug infrastructure).

The problematic part of it is the request_region() call in
acpi_processor_get_info() that used to run at module init time before
the above commit and now it runs much earlier.  Unfortunately, the
region(s) reserved by it fall into a range the PCI subsystem attempts
to reserve for AHCI IO BARs.  As a result, the PCI reservation fails
and AHCI doesn't work, while previously the PCI reservation would
be made before acpi_processor_get_info() and it would succeed.

That request_region() call, however, was overlooked by commit
ac212b6980d8, as it is not necessary for the enumeration of the
processors.  It only is needed when the ACPI processor driver
actually attempts to handle them which doesn't happen before
loading the ACPI processor driver module.  Therefore that call
should have been moved from acpi_processor_get_info() into that
module.

Address the problem by moving the request_region() call in question
out of acpi_processor_get_info() and use the observation that the
region reserved by it is only needed if the FADT-based CPU
throttling method is going to be used, which means that it should
be sufficient to invoke it from acpi_processor_get_throttling_fadt().

The address check in acpi_hw_get_access_bit_width() should be byte width
based, not bit width based. This patch fixes this mistake.

For those who want to review acpi_hw_access_bit_width(), here is the
concerns and the design details of the function:

It is supposed that the GAS Address field should be aligned to the byte
width indicated by the GAS AccessSize field. Similarly, for the old non
GAS register, it is supposed that its Address should be aligned to its
Length.

For the "AccessSize = 0 (meaning ANY)" case, we try to return the maximum
instruction width (64 for MMIO or 32 for PIO) or the user expected access
bit width (64 for acpi_read()/acpi_write() or 32 for acpi_hw_read()/
acpi_hw_write()) and it is supposed that the GAS Address field should
always be aligned to the maximum expected access bit width (otherwise it
can't be accessed using ANY access bit width).

The problem is in acpi_tb_init_generic_address(), where the non GAS
register's Length is converted into the GAS BitWidth field, its Address is
converted into the GAS Address field, and the GAS AccessSize field is left
0 but most of the registers actually cannot be accessed using "ANY"
accesses.

As a conclusion, when AccessSize = 0 (ANY), the Address should either be
aligned to the BitWidth (wrong conversion) or aligned to 32 for PIO or 64
for MMIO (real GAS). Since currently, max_bit_width is 32, then:
1. BitWidth for the wrong conversion is 8,16,32; and
2. The Address of the real GAS should always be aligned to 8,16,32.
The address alignment check to exclude false matched real GAS is not
necessary. Thus this patch fixes the issue by removing the address
alignment check.

On the other hand, we in fact could use a simpler check of
"reg-&gt;bit_width &lt; max_bit_width" to exclude the "BitWidth=64 PIO" case that
may be issued from acpi_read()/acpi_write() in the future.

<title>remove lots of IS_ERR_VALUE abuses</title>

Most users of IS_ERR_VALUE() in the kernel are wrong, as they
pass an 'int' into a function that takes an 'unsigned long'
argument. This happens to work because the type is sign-extended
on 64-bit architectures before it gets converted into an
unsigned type.

However, anything that passes an 'unsigned short' or 'unsigned int'
argument into IS_ERR_VALUE() is guaranteed to be broken, as are
8-bit integers and types that are wider than 'unsigned long'.

Andrzej Hajda has already fixed a lot of the worst abusers that
were causing actual bugs, but it would be nice to prevent any
users that are not passing 'unsigned long' arguments.

This patch changes all users of IS_ERR_VALUE() that I could find
on 32-bit ARM randconfig builds and x86 allmodconfig. For the
moment, this doesn't change the definition of IS_ERR_VALUE()
because there are probably still architecture specific users
elsewhere.

Almost all the warnings I got are for files that are better off
using 'if (err)' or 'if (err &lt; 0)'.
The only legitimate user I could find that we get a warning for
is the (32-bit only) freescale fman driver, so I did not remove
the IS_ERR_VALUE() there but changed the type to 'unsigned long'.
For 9pfs, I just worked around one user whose calling conventions
are so obscure that I did not dare change the behavior.

I was using this definition for testing:

 #define IS_ERR_VALUE(x) ((unsigned long*)NULL == (typeof (x)*)NULL &amp;&amp; \
       unlikely((unsigned long long)(x) &gt;= (unsigned long long)(typeof(x))-MAX_ERRNO))

which ends up making all 16-bit or wider types work correctly with
the most plausible interpretation of what IS_ERR_VALUE() was supposed
to return according to its users, but also causes a compile-time
warning for any users that do not pass an 'unsigned long' argument.

I suggested this approach earlier this year, but back then we ended
up deciding to just fix the users that are obviously broken. After
the initial warning that caused me to get involved in the discussion
(fs/gfs2/dir.c) showed up again in the mainline kernel, Linus
asked me to send the whole thing again.

argument into IS_ERR_VALUE() is guaranteed to be broken, as are
8-bit integers and types that are wider than 'unsigned long'.

Andrzej Hajda has already fixed a lot of the worst abusers that
were causing actual bugs, but it would be nice to prevent any
users that are not passing 'unsigned long' arguments.

This patch changes all users of IS_ERR_VALUE() that I could find
on 32-bit ARM randconfig builds and x86 allmodconfig. For the
moment, this doesn't change the definition of IS_ERR_VALUE()
because there are probably still architecture specific users
elsewhere.

Almost all the warnings I got are for files that are better off
using 'if (err)' or 'if (err &lt; 0)'.
The only legitimate user I could find that we get a warning for
is the (32-bit only) freescale fman driver, so I did not remove
the IS_ERR_VALUE() there but changed the type to 'unsigned long'.
For 9pfs, I just worked around one user whose calling conventions
are so obscure that I did not dare change the behavior.

I was using this definition for testing:

 #define IS_ERR_VALUE(x) ((unsigned long*)NULL == (typeof (x)*)NULL &amp;&amp; \
       unlikely((unsigned long long)(x) &gt;= (unsigned long long)(typeof(x))-MAX_ERRNO))

which ends up making all 16-bit or wider types work correctly with
the most plausible interpretation of what IS_ERR_VALUE() was supposed
to return according to its users, but also causes a compile-time
warning for any users that do not pass an 'unsigned long' argument.

I suggested this approach earlier this year, but back then we ended
up deciding to just fix the users that are obviously broken. After
the initial warning that caused me to get involved in the discussion
(fs/gfs2/dir.c) showed up again in the mainline kernel, Linus
asked me to send the whole thing again.

[ Updated the 9p parts as per Al Viro  - Linus ]

Pull MMC fixes from Ulf Hansson:
 "Here are some mmc fixes intended for v4.7 rc1.  They are based on a
  commit earlier in the merge window and have been tested in linux-next
  for a while.

  MMC core:
   - Prevent re-tuning while serving requests for RPMB partitions
   - Extend timeout for long read time quirk to support more eMMCs

  MMC host:
   - sdhci-acpi: Ensure connected devices are powered when probing
   - sdhci-pci|acpi: Remove unreliable MMC_CAP_BUS_WIDTH_TEST for Intel HWs
   - dw_mmc: Correct the assigning of max_blk_size
   - dw_mmc-rockchip: Allow RPMB partitions to be created
   - dw_mmc-rockchip: Set the drive phase properly"
