<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 *".

This function checks whether given USB4 port device matches with USB3.x
port device, using ACPI _DSD property.

It is designed to be used by component framework to match
USB4 ports with Type-C ports they are connected to.

Also, added USB4 config stub in case mapping function is not reachable.

Since commit aed65af1cc2f ("drivers: make device_type const"), the driver
core can properly handle constant struct device_type. Move the
tb_domain_type, tb_retimer_type, tb_switch_type, usb4_port_device_type,
tb_service_type and tb_xdomain_type variables to be constant structures as
well, placing it into read-only memory which can not be modified at
runtime.

<title>thunderbolt: Add wake on connect/disconnect on USB4 ports</title>

<content type='text'>
Wake on connect/disconnect is only supported while runtime suspend for
now, which is obviously necessary. It is also not inherently desired for
the system to wakeup on Thunderbolt/USB4 hot plug events. However, we
can still make user in control of waking up the system in the events of
hot plug/unplug.

This patch adds 'wakeup' attribute under 'usb4_portX/power' sysfs
attribute and only enables wakes on connect/disconnect to the respective
port when 'wakeup' is set to 'enabled'. The attribute is set to
'disabled' by default.

<title>thunderbolt: Add support for retimer NVM upgrade when there is no link</title>

With help from platform firmware (ACPI) it is possible to power on
retimers even when there is no USB4 link (e.g nothing is connected to
the USB4 ports). This allows us to bring the USB4 sideband up so that we
can access retimers and upgrade their NVM firmware.

If the platform has support for this, we expose two additional
attributes under USB4 ports: offline and rescan. These can be used to
bring the port offline, rescan for the retimers and put the port online
again. The retimer NVM upgrade itself works the same way than with cable
connected.
