<title>clk: bcm: rpi: Mark VEC clock as CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED</title>

On Raspberry Pi 3B, the VEC clock is used by the VideoCore firmware
display driver, which remains active until the vc4 driver loads and
sends NOTIFY_DISPLAY_DONE. If this clock is disabled during boot, a bus
lockup happens and the firmware becomes unresponsive, causing a complete
system lockup.

Mark the VEC clock with CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED so it survives the unused
clock disablement and remains available until the vc4 driver takes over
display management.

On current firmware versions, RPI_FIRMWARE_SET_CLOCK_STATE doesn't
actually power off the clock. To achieve meaningful power savings, the
clock rate must be set to the minimum before disabling. This might be
fixed in future firmware releases.

Rather than pushing rate management to clock consumers, handle it
directly in the clock framework's prepare/unprepare callbacks. In
unprepare, set the rate to the minimum before disabling the clock.
In prepare, for clocks marked with `maximize` (currently v3d),
restore the rate to the maximum after enabling.

<title>Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments</title>

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.

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 *".

Although minimizing the clock rate is the best for most scenarios, as
stated in commit 4d85abb0fb8e ("clk: bcm: rpi: Enable minimize for all
firmware clocks"), when it comes to the GPU, it's ideal to have the
maximum rate allowed.

Add an option to maximize a firmware clock's rate when the clock is
enabled and set this option for V3D.

Currently, when we prepare or unprepare RPi's clocks, we don't actually
enable/disable the firmware clock. This means that
`clk_disable_unprepare()` doesn't actually change the clock state at
all, nor does it lowers the clock rate.

From the Mailbox Property Interface documentation [1], we can see that
we should use `RPI_FIRMWARE_SET_CLOCK_STATE` to set the clock state
off/on. Therefore, use `RPI_FIRMWARE_SET_CLOCK_STATE` to create a
prepare and an unprepare hook for RPi's firmware clock.

As now the clocks are actually turned off, some of them are now marked
CLK_IS_CRITICAL, as those are required to be on during the whole system
operation.
