Mostly just debugfs changes, the long-known and messy races with
removing debugfs files should be fixed thanks to the great work of
Nicolai Stange. We also have some isa updates in here (the x86

All have been in linux-next for some time with no reported issues"

Attach the malloc attribute to a few allocation functions. This helps
gcc generate better code by telling it that the return value doesn't
alias any existing pointers (which is even more valuable given the
pessimizations implied by -fno-strict-aliasing).
A simple example of what this allows gcc to do can be seen by looking at
the last part of drm_atomic_helper_plane_reset:
plane->state = kzalloc(sizeof(*plane->state), GFP_KERNEL);
if (plane->state) {
plane->state->plane = plane;
plane->state->rotation = BIT(DRM_ROTATE_0);
}
which compiles to

dev_dbg_ratelimited() is a macro that ignores its first argument when DEBUG is
not set, which can lead to unused variable warnings:
ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/pci.c: In function 'mlxsw_pci_cqe_sdq_handle':
ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/pci.c:646:18: warning: unused variable 'pdev' [-Wunused-variable]

ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/pci.c:671:18: warning: unused variable 'pdev' [-Wunused-variable]
The macro already ensures that all its other arguments are silently
ignored by the compiler without triggering a warning, through the
use of the no_printk() macro, but the dev argument is not passed into
that.
This changes the definition to use the same trick as no_printk() with
an if(0) that leads the compiler to not evaluate the side-effects but
still see that 'dev' might not be unused.

The ignore_children flag is used only when CONFIG_PM is set, so let's move
it into that section within the struct dev_pm_info.
Move also the corresponding pm_suspend_ignore_children() API out of
device.h into pm_runtime.h, to be consistent with similar APIs.
Unfortunate this causes the Toshiba PCI SD mmc host driver to fail to

This is useful to buses such as AMBA in which devices are registered

This is needed to warn when there is an attempt to change the PM domain

also that we can simplify code quite a bit if we can always assume that.

rx_frames_per_rates as an array as it really is"), or when the arguments
do not match the format string, c.f. for example commit 5ce1aca814
("reiserfs: fix __RASSERT format string").
To prevent similar bugs in the future, add a __printf attribute to every
function prototype which needs one in include/linux/ and lib/. These
functions were mostly found by using gcc's -Wsuggest-attribute=format
flag.

Pull module_platform_driver replacement from Paul Gortmaker:
"Replace module_platform_driver with builtin_platform driver in non
modules.
We see an increasing number of non-modular drivers using
modular_driver() type register functions. There are several downsides
to letting this continue unchecked:
- The code can appear modular to a reader of the code, and they won't
know if the code really is modular without checking the Makefile
and Kconfig to see if compilation is governed by a bool or
tristate.
- Coders of drivers may be tempted to code up an __exit function that
is never used, just in order to satisfy the required three args of
the modular registration function.
- Non-modular code ends up including the <module.h> which increases
CPP overhead that they don't need.
- It hinders us from performing better separation of the module init
code and the generic init code.
So here we introduce similar macros for builtin drivers. Then we
convert builtin drivers (controlled by a bool Kconfig) by making the
following type of mapping:
module_platform_driver() ---> builtin_platform_driver()
module_platform_driver_probe() ---> builtin_platform_driver_probe().
The set of drivers that are converted here are just the ones that
showed up as relying on an implicit include of <module.h> during a
pending header cleanup. So we convert them here vs adding an include
of <module.h> to non-modular code to avoid compile fails. Additonal
conversions can be done asynchronously at any time.
Once again, an unused module_exit function that is removed here
appears in the diffstat as an outlier wrt all the other changes"

We have macros that help reduce the boilerplate for modules
that register with no extra init/exit complexity other than the
most standard use case. However we see an increasing number of
non-modular drivers using these modular_driver() type register
functions.
There are several downsides to this:
1) The code can appear modular to a reader of the code, and they
won't know if the code really is modular without checking the
Makefile and Kconfig to see if compilation is governed by a
bool or tristate.
2) Coders of drivers may be tempted to code up an __exit function

args of the modular registration function.
3) Non-modular code ends up including the <module.h> which increases
CPP overhead that they don't need.
4) It hinders us from performing better separation of the module
init code and the generic init code.
Here we introduce similar macros, with the mapping from module_driver
to builtin_driver and similar, so that simple changes of:
module_platform_driver() ---> builtin_platform_driver()
module_platform_driver_probe() ---> builtin_platform_driver_probe().
can help us avoid #3 above, without having to code up the same
__init functions and device_initcall() boilerplate.
For non modular code, module_init becomes __initcall. But direct use
of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one of the priority categorized
subgroups. As __initcall gets mapped onto device_initcall, our
use of device_initcall directly in this change means that the
runtime impact is zero -- drivers will remain at level 6 in the
initcall ordering.

There are drivers that can not be probed asynchronously. One such group
is platform drivers registered with platform_driver_probe(), which
expects driver's probe routine be discarded after the driver has been
registered and initial binding attempt executed. Also
platform_driver_probe() an error when no devices were bound to the
driver, allowing failing to load such driver module altogether.
Other drivers do not work well with asynchronous probing because of
driver bug or not optimal driver organization.
To allow using such drivers even when user requests asynchronous probing

Some init systems may wish to express the desire to have device drivers
run their probe() code asynchronously. This implements support for this
and allows userspace to request async probe as a preference through a
generic shared device driver module parameter, async_probe.
Implementation for async probe is supported through a module parameter
given that since synchronous probe has been prevalent for years some
userspace might exist which relies on the fact that the device driver
