Pull parisc architecture updates from Helge Deller:
 "A fix which allows booting on the very old 710 workstations, and two
  fixes in the syscall entry/exit path which allow to execute 64-bit
  userspace binaries.

  Note that although we currently have a 64-bit (static) kernel to allow
  more than 4 GB physical RAM, there is no support for 64-bit userspace
  for parisc-linux yet, but Dave and Sven are making slowly progress to
  port and fix glibc and gcc.

  Summary:

   - Fix boot on 710 workstation by not reprogramming ASP chip

   - Fix 64bit userspace syscalls (64-bit userspace is still being
     developed)

   - minor code cleanups in asm/bug.h and perf_regs.c"

* tag 'parisc-for-6.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux:

The ASP chip is a very old variant of the GSP chip and is used e.g. in
HP 730 workstations. When trying to reprogram the affinity it will crash
with a HPMC as the relevant registers don't seem to be at the usual
location.  Let's avoid the crash by checking the sversion. Also note,
that reprogramming isn't necessary either, as the HP730 is a just a
single-CPU machine.

Move the soft-power ctl table into parisc/power.c. As a consequence the
pwrsw_enabled var is made static.

This is part of a greater effort to move ctl tables into their
respective subsystems which will reduce the merge conflicts in
kernel/sysctl.c.

We intentionally truncate the string and store only up to 20 characters
since the LCD display does not provide more chars. For that use
scnprintf() instead of snprintf() to avoid the warning.

<title>Get rid of 'remove_new' relic from platform driver struct</title>

The continual trickle of small conversion patches is grating on me, and
is really not helping.  Just get rid of the 'remove_new' member
function, which is just an alias for the plain 'remove', and had a
comment to that effect:

  /*
   * .remove_new() is a relic from a prototype conversion of .remove().
   * New drivers are supposed to implement .remove(). Once all drivers are
   * converted to not use .remove_new any more, it will be dropped.
   */

This was just a tree-wide 'sed' script that replaced '.remove_new' with
'.remove', with some care taken to turn a subsequent tab into two tabs
to make things line up.

I did do some minimal manual whitespace adjustment for places that used
spaces to line things up.

Then I just removed the old (sic) .remove_new member function, and this
is the end result.  No more unnecessary conversion noise.

<content type='text'>
The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart
from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks.

To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return
void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to
.remove_new(), which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers
are converted, .remove_new() will be renamed to .remove().

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.
