Pull char / misc / other smaller driver subsystem updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the large set of char, misc, and other driver subsystem
  updates for 5.19-rc1. The merge request for this has been delayed as I
  wanted to get lots of linux-next testing due to some late arrivals of
  changes for the habannalabs driver.

  Highlights of this merge are:

   - habanalabs driver updates for new hardware types and fixes and
     other updates

   - IIO driver tree merge which includes loads of new IIO drivers and
     cleanups and additions

   - PHY driver tree merge with new drivers and small updates to
     existing ones

   - interconnect driver tree merge with fixes and updates

   - soundwire driver tree merge with some small fixes

   - coresight driver tree merge with small fixes and updates

   - mhi bus driver tree merge with lots of updates and new device
     support

   - firmware driver updates

   - fpga driver updates

   - lkdtm driver updates (with a merge conflict, more on that below)

   - extcon driver tree merge with small updates

   - lots of other tiny driver updates and fixes and cleanups, full
     details in the shortlog.

  All of these have been in linux-next for almost 2 weeks with no
  reported problems"

As part of a previous discussion with Jonathan Cameron [1], it appeared
necessary to clarify the meaning of each mode so that new developers
could understand better what they should use or not use and when.

The idea of renaming these modes as been let aside because naming is a
big deal and requires a lot of thinking. So for now let's focus on
correctly explaining what each mode implies.

<title>iio: core: Simplify the registration of kfifo buffers</title>

Among all the users of the kfifo buffers, no one uses the
INDIO_BUFFER_HARDWARE mode. So let's take this as a general rule and
simplify a little bit the internals - overall the documentation - by
eliminating unused specific cases. Use the INDIO_BUFFER_SOFTWARE mode by
default with kfifo buffers, which will basically mimic what all the "non
direct" modes do.

This entry should, under no situation, be modified by device
drivers. Now that we have limited its read access to device drivers
really needing it and did so through a dedicated helper, we can
easily move this variable to the opaque structure in order to
prevent any further modification from non-authorized code (out of the
core, basically).

In order to later move this variable within the opaque structure, let's
create a helper for accessing it in read-only mode. This helper will be
exposed to device drivers and kept accessible for the few that could need
it. The write access to this variable however should be fully reserved to
the core so in a second step we will hide this variable into the opaque
structure.

As we are going to hide the currentmode inside the opaque structure,
this helper would soon need to call a non-inline function which would
simply drop the benefit of having the helper defined inline in a header.

One alternative is to move this helper in the core as there is no more
interest in defining it inline in a header. We will pay the minor cost
either way.

Let's do like the iio_device_id() helper which also refers to the opaque
structure and gets defined in the core.

Right now the (framework) mlock lock is (ab)used for multiple purposes:
1- protecting concurrent accesses over the odr local cache
2- avoid changing samplig frequency whilst buffer is running

Let's start by handling situation #1 with a local lock.

Let's provide more details about these two variables because their
understanding may not be straightforward for someone not used to the IIO
subsystem internal logic. The different modes will soon be also be more
documented for the same reason.

Some sigma-delta chips support sampling of multiple
channels in continuous mode.

When the operating with more than one channel enabled,
the channel sequencer cycles through the enabled channels
in sequential order, from first channel to the last one.
If a channel is disabled, it is skipped by the sequencer.

If more than one channel is used in continuous mode,
instruct the device to append the status to the SPI transfer
(1 extra byte) every time we receive a sample.
All sigma-delta chips possessing a sampling sequencer have
this ability. Inside the status register there will be
the number of the converted channel. In this way, even
if the CPU won't keep up with the sampling rate, it won't
send to userspace wrong channel samples.

When multiple channels are enabled in continuous mode,
the device needs to perform a measurement on all slots
before we can push to userspace the sample.

If, during sequencing and data reading, a channel measurement
is lost, a desync occurred. In this case, ad_sigma_delta drops
the incomplete sample and waits for the device to send the
measurement on the first active slot.
