<title>media: rc: fix race between unregister and urb/irq callbacks</title>

<id>dccc0c3ddf8f16071736f98a7d6dd46a2d43e037</id>
<content type='text'>
Some rc device drivers have a race condition between rc_unregister_device()
and irq or urb callbacks. This is because rc_unregister_device() does two
things, it marks the device as unregistered so no new commands can be
issued and then it calls rc_free_device(). This means the driver has no
chance to cancel any pending urb callbacks or interrupts after the device
has been marked as unregistered. Those callbacks may access struct rc_dev
or its members (e.g. struct ir_raw_event_ctrl), which have been freed by
rc_free_device().

This change removes the implicit call to rc_free_device() from
rc_unregister_device(). This means that device drivers can call
rc_unregister_device() in their remove or disconnect function, then cancel
all the urbs and interrupts before explicitly calling rc_free_device().

Note this is an alternative fix for an issue found by Haotian Zhang, see
the Closes: tags.

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

<id>bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>
<content type='text'>
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>

<id>69050f8d6d075dc01af7a5f2f550a8067510366f</id>
<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 smsdvb_module_init() returns without checking the retval from
smscore_register_hotplug().
If the smscore_register_hotplug() failed, the module failed to install,

The function is never called with a loadfirmware_handler, so we can
remove some dead code.

We can also use this as a excuse to remove some unused type definitions.

This fixes the following smatch warning:
