Some platform devices like ARM SMMU are memory-mapped and populated by ACPI/IORT.
In this case, NUMA topology of those platform devices are exported by firmware as
well. Software might care about the numa_node of those devices in order to achieve
NUMA locality.
This patch will show the numa_node for this kind of devices in sysfs. For those
platform devices without numa, numa_node won't be visible.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the set of driver core patches for 5.8-rc1.

  Not all that huge this release, just a number of small fixes and
  updates:

   - software node fixes

   - kobject now sends KOBJ_REMOVE when it is removed from sysfs, not
     when it is removed from memory (which could come much later)

   - device link additions and fixes based on testing on more devices

   - firmware core cleanups

   - other minor changes, full details in the shortlog

  All have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues"

<title>driver core: platform: Clarify that IRQ 0 is invalid</title>

These interfaces return a negative error number or an IRQ:

  platform_get_irq()
  platform_get_irq_optional()
  platform_get_irq_byname()
  platform_get_irq_byname_optional()

The function comments suggest checking for error like this:

  irq = platform_get_irq(...);
  if (irq &lt; 0)
    return irq;

which is what most callers (~900 of 1400) do, so it's implicit that IRQ 0
is invalid.  But some callers check for "irq &lt;= 0", and it's not obvious
from the source that we never return an IRQ 0.

Make this more explicit by updating the comments to say that an IRQ number
is always non-zero and adding a WARN() if we ever do return zero.  If we do
return IRQ 0, it likely indicates a bug in the arch-specific parts of
platform_get_irq().

Relevant prior discussion at [1, 2].

<title>drivers: base: Fix NULL pointer exception in __platform_driver_probe() if a driver developer is foolish</title>

If platform bus driver registration is failed then, accessing
platform bus spin lock (&amp;drv-&gt;driver.bus-&gt;p-&gt;klist_drivers.k_lock)
in __platform_driver_probe() without verifying the return value
__platform_driver_register() can lead to NULL pointer exception.

So check the return value before attempting the spin lock.

One such example is below:

For a custom usecase, I have intentionally failed the platform bus
registration and I expected all the platform device/driver
registrations to fail gracefully. But I came across this panic
issue.

<title>driver core: platform: Initialize dma_parms for platform devices</title>

<content type='text'>
It's currently the platform driver's responsibility to initialize the
pointer, dma_parms, for its corresponding struct device. The benefit with
this approach allows us to avoid the initialization and to not waste memory
for the struct device_dma_parameters, as this can be decided on a case by
case basis.

However, it has turned out that this approach is not very practical.  Not
only does it lead to open coding, but also to real errors. In principle
callers of dma_set_max_seg_size() doesn't check the error code, but just
assumes it succeeds.

For these reasons, let's do the initialization from the common platform bus
at the device registration point. This also follows the way the PCI devices
are being managed, see pci_device_add().
