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_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>

<content type='text'>
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 *".

The device requires more time to process queue stop and function stop
mailbox commands compared to other mailbox commands . In the current
driver, the mailbox processing wait time for queue stop and function
stop is less than the device timeout, which may cause the driver to
incorrectly assume that the mailbox processing has failed. Therefore,
the driver wait time for queue stop and function stop should be set to
be greater than the device timeout.  And PF and VF communication
relies on mailbox, the communication wait time should also be modified.

The malibox needs to be triggered by a 128bit atomic operation.
The reason is that the PF and VFs of the device share the mmio memory
of the mailbox, and the mutex cannot lock mailbox operations in
different functions, especially when passing through VFs to
virtual machines.

Currently, the write operation to the mailbox is already a 128-bit
atomic write. The read operation also needs to be modified to a
128-bit atomic read. Since there is no general 128-bit IO memory
access API in the current ARM64 architecture, and the stp and ldp
instructions do not guarantee atomic access to device memory, they
cannot be extracted as a general API. Therefore, the 128-bit atomic
read and write operations need to be implemented in the driver.

Before sending the data via the mailbox to the hardware, to ensure
that the data accessed by the hardware is the most up-to-date,
a write barrier should be added before writing to the mailbox register.
The current memory barrier is placed after writing to the register,
the barrier order should be modified to be before writing to the register.
