<title>kernel.h: drop hex.h and update all hex.h users</title>

Remove &lt;linux/hex.h&gt; from &lt;linux/kernel.h&gt; and update all users/callers of
hex.h interfaces to directly #include &lt;linux/hex.h&gt; as part of the process
of putting kernel.h on a diet.

Removing hex.h from kernel.h means that 36K C source files don't have to
pay the price of parsing hex.h for the roughly 120 C source files that
need it.

This change has been build-tested with allmodconfig on most ARCHes.  Also,
all users/callers of &lt;linux/hex.h&gt; in the entire source tree have been
updated if needed (if not already #included).

Reduce boilerplate by using the newly introduced module_tee_client_driver().
That takes care of assigning the driver's bus, so the explicit assigning
in this driver can be dropped.

<title>MIPS: BCM47XX: remove MODULE_LICENSE in non-modules</title>

<content type='text'>
Since commit 8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without
Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf"), MODULE_LICENSE declarations
are used to identify modules. As a consequence, uses of the macro
in non-modules will cause modprobe to misidentify their containing
object file as a module when it is not (false positives), and modprobe
might succeed rather than failing with a suitable error message.

So remove it in the files in this commit, none of which can be built as
modules.

Provide NVMEM content to the NVRAM driver from a simple
memory resource. This is necessary to use NVRAM in a memory-
mapped flash device. Patch taken from OpenWrts development
tree.

This patch makes it possible to use memory-mapped NVRAM
on the D-Link DWL-8610AP and the D-Link DIR-890L.

<title>firmware: tee_bnxt: Release TEE shm, session, and context during kexec</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=914ab19e471d8fb535ed50dff108b0a615f3c2d8'/>
<id>914ab19e471d8fb535ed50dff108b0a615f3c2d8</id>
<content type='text'>
Implement a .shutdown hook that will be called during a kexec operation
so that the TEE shared memory, session, and context that were set up
during .probe can be properly freed/closed.

Additionally, don't use dma-buf backed shared memory for the
fw_shm_pool. dma-buf backed shared memory cannot be reliably freed and
unregistered during a kexec operation even when tee_shm_free() is called
on the shm from a .shutdown hook. The problem occurs because
dma_buf_put() calls fput() which then uses task_work_add(), with the
TWA_RESUME parameter, to queue tee_shm_release() to be called before the
current task returns to user mode. However, the current task never
returns to user mode before the kexec completes so the memory is never
freed nor unregistered.

Use tee_shm_alloc_kernel_buf() to avoid dma-buf backed shared memory
allocation so that tee_shm_free() can directly call tee_shm_release().
This will ensure that the shm can be freed and unregistered during a
kexec operation.

Implement a .shutdown hook that will be called during a kexec operation
so that the TEE shared memory, session, and context that were set up
during .probe can be properly freed/closed.

Additionally, don't use dma-buf backed shared memory for the
fw_shm_pool. dma-buf backed shared memory cannot be reliably freed and
unregistered during a kexec operation even when tee_shm_free() is called
on the shm from a .shutdown hook. The problem occurs because
dma_buf_put() calls fput() which then uses task_work_add(), with the
TWA_RESUME parameter, to queue tee_shm_release() to be called before the
current task returns to user mode. However, the current task never
returns to user mode before the kexec completes so the memory is never
freed nor unregistered.

Use tee_shm_alloc_kernel_buf() to avoid dma-buf backed shared memory
allocation so that tee_shm_free() can directly call tee_shm_release().
This will ensure that the shm can be freed and unregistered during a
kexec operation.

Separated function was not improving code quality much (or at all).
Moreover it expected possible flash end address as argument and it was
returning NVRAM size.

The new code always operates on offsets which means less logic and less
calculations.
