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

<id>bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>

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 *".

Calling a function through an incompatible pointer type causes breaks
kcfi, so clang warns about the assignment:

clang-16 warns about casting between incompatible function types:

  161 |         .fini = (void(*)(void *))release_firmware,

This one was done to use the generic shadow_fw_release() function as a
callback for struct nvbios_source. Change it to use the same prototype
as the other five instances, with a trivial helper function that actually
calls release_firmware.

The "/**" comments in this file are not kernel-doc comments. They are
used on static functions which can have kernel-doc comments, but that
is not the primary focus of kernel-doc comments.
Since these comments are incomplete for kernel-doc notation, remove
the kernel-doc "/**" markers and make them common comments.

This prevents scripts/kernel-doc from issuing 68 warnings:

init.c:584: warning: Function parameter or member 'init' not described in 'init_reserved'

and 67 warnings like this one:

This commit adds the initial code needed to boot the GSP-RM firmware
provided by NVIDIA, bringing with it the beginnings of Ada support.

Until it's had more testing and time to bake, support is disabled by
default (except on Ada).  GSP-RM usage can be enabled by passing the
"config=NvGspRm=1" module option.

The address of a data structure member was determined before
a corresponding null pointer check in the implementation of
the function “nvbios_power_budget_header”.

Thus avoid the risk for undefined behaviour by moving the usage
of an expression into a parameter for a macro call in one if branch.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

If nvbios_pmuEp() returns 0, via the data variable, the output info parameter
is not used.  So set info only when data is not 0.

The struct nvbios_pmuE only has the type and data elements.  Since both of these

While working at fixing powerpc headers, I ended up with the
following error.

	drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/bios/shadowrom.c:48:1: error: conflicting types for 'prom_init'; have 'void *(struct nvkm_bios *, const char *)'
	make[5]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:288: drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/bios/shadowrom.o] Error 1

powerpc and a few other architectures have a prom_init() global function.
One day or another it will conflict with the one in shadowrom.c

Those being static, they can easily be renamed. Do it.

While at it, also rename the ops structure as 'nvbios_prom' instead of
'nvbios_rom' in order to make it clear that it refers to the
NV_PROM device.

	drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/bios/shadowrom.c:48:1: error: conflicting types for 'prom_init'; have 'void *(struct nvkm_bios *, const char *)'
	make[5]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:288: drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/bios/shadowrom.o] Error 1

powerpc and a few other architectures have a prom_init() global function.
One day or another it will conflict with the one in shadowrom.c

Those being static, they can easily be renamed. Do it.

While at it, also rename the ops structure as 'nvbios_prom' instead of
'nvbios_rom' in order to make it clear that it refers to the
NV_PROM device.
