This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

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

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much
smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex()
interface.

As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute
force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather
than 'objs*'.

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 *".

<title>mm: update all remaining mmap_prepare users to use vma_flags_t</title>

<id>5bd2c0650a9030007af5c2cf2a01dccdc67a6991</id>
<content type='text'>
We will be shortly removing the vm_flags_t field from vm_area_desc so we
need to update all mmap_prepare users to only use the dessc-&gt;vma_flags
field.

This patch achieves that and makes all ancillary changes required to make
this possible.

This lays the groundwork for future work to eliminate the use of
vm_flags_t in vm_area_desc altogether and more broadly throughout the
kernel.

While we're here, we take the opportunity to replace VM_REMAP_FLAGS with
VMA_REMAP_FLAGS, the vma_flags_t equivalent.

No functional changes intended.

We will be shortly removing the vm_flags_t field from vm_area_desc so we
need to update all mmap_prepare users to only use the dessc-&gt;vma_flags
field.

This patch achieves that and makes all ancillary changes required to make
this possible.

This lays the groundwork for future work to eliminate the use of
vm_flags_t in vm_area_desc altogether and more broadly throughout the
kernel.

While we're here, we take the opportunity to replace VM_REMAP_FLAGS with
VMA_REMAP_FLAGS, the vma_flags_t equivalent.

No functional changes intended.

Pull SoC driver updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "There are are a number of to firmware drivers, in particular the TEE
  subsystem:

   - a bus callback for TEE firmware that device drivers can register to

   - sysfs support for tee firmware information

   - minor updates to platform specific TEE drivers for AMD, NXP,
     Qualcomm and the generic optee driver

   - ARM SCMI firmware refactoring to improve the protocol discover
     among other fixes and cleanups

   - ARM FF-A firmware interoperability improvements

  The reset controller and memory controller subsystems gain support for
  additional hardware platforms from Mediatek, Renesas, NXP, Canaan and
  SpacemiT.

  Most of the other changes are for random drivers/soc code. Among a
  number of cleanups and newly added hardware support, including:

   - Mediatek MT8196 DVFS power management and mailbox support

   - Qualcomm SCM firmware and MDT loader refactoring, as part of the
     new Glymur platform support.

   - NXP i.MX9 System Manager firmware support for accessing the syslog

   - Minor updates for TI, Renesas, Samsung, Apple, Marvell and AMD
     SoCs"
