Arnd Bergmann 287980e49f remove lots of IS_ERR_VALUE abuses
Most users of IS_ERR_VALUE() in the kernel are wrong, as they
pass an 'int' into a function that takes an 'unsigned long'
argument. This happens to work because the type is sign-extended
on 64-bit architectures before it gets converted into an
unsigned type.

However, anything that passes an 'unsigned short' or 'unsigned int'
argument into IS_ERR_VALUE() is guaranteed to be broken, as are
8-bit integers and types that are wider than 'unsigned long'.

Andrzej Hajda has already fixed a lot of the worst abusers that
were causing actual bugs, but it would be nice to prevent any
users that are not passing 'unsigned long' arguments.

This patch changes all users of IS_ERR_VALUE() that I could find
on 32-bit ARM randconfig builds and x86 allmodconfig. For the
moment, this doesn't change the definition of IS_ERR_VALUE()
because there are probably still architecture specific users
elsewhere.

Almost all the warnings I got are for files that are better off
using 'if (err)' or 'if (err < 0)'.
The only legitimate user I could find that we get a warning for
is the (32-bit only) freescale fman driver, so I did not remove
the IS_ERR_VALUE() there but changed the type to 'unsigned long'.
For 9pfs, I just worked around one user whose calling conventions
are so obscure that I did not dare change the behavior.

I was using this definition for testing:

 #define IS_ERR_VALUE(x) ((unsigned long*)NULL == (typeof (x)*)NULL && \
       unlikely((unsigned long long)(x) >= (unsigned long long)(typeof(x))-MAX_ERRNO))

which ends up making all 16-bit or wider types work correctly with
the most plausible interpretation of what IS_ERR_VALUE() was supposed
to return according to its users, but also causes a compile-time
warning for any users that do not pass an 'unsigned long' argument.

I suggested this approach earlier this year, but back then we ended
up deciding to just fix the users that are obviously broken. After
the initial warning that caused me to get involved in the discussion
(fs/gfs2/dir.c) showed up again in the mainline kernel, Linus
asked me to send the whole thing again.

[ Updated the 9p parts as per Al Viro  - Linus ]

Srinivas Kandagatla 795ddd18d3 nvmem: core: remove regmap dependency
nvmem uses regmap_raw_read/write apis to read/write data from providers,
regmap raw apis stopped working with recent kernels which removed raw
accessors on mmio bus. This resulted in broken nvmem for providers
which are based on regmap mmio bus. This issue can be fixed temporarly
by moving to other regmap apis, but we might hit same issue in future.
Moving to interfaces based on read/write callbacks from providers would
be more robust.

This patch removes regmap dependency from nvmem and introduces
read/write callbacks from the providers.

Without this patch nvmem providers like qfprom based on regmap mmio
bus would not work.

Stephen Boyd 3b2b9ead32 nvmem: qfprom: Specify LE device endianness
The qfprom is a little endian device, but so far we've been
relying on the regmap mmio bus handling this for us without
explicitly stating that fact. After commit 4a98da2164cf
(regmap-mmio: Use native endianness for read/write, 2015-10-29),
the regmap mmio bus will read/write with the __raw_*() IO
accessors, instead of using the readl/writel() APIs that do
proper byte swapping for little endian devices.

So if we're running on a big endian processor and haven't
specified the endianness explicitly in the regmap config or in
DT, we're going to switch from doing little endian byte swapping
to big endian accesses without byte swapping, leading to some
confusing results. Specify the endianness explicitly so that the
regmap core properly byte swaps the accesses for us.

This commit adds support for NXP LPC18xx EEPROM memory found in NXP
LPC185x/3x and LPC435x/3x/2x/1x devices.

EEPROM size is 16384 bytes and it can be entirely read and
written/erased with 1 word (4 bytes) granularity. The last page
(128 bytes) contains the EEPROM initialization data and is not writable.

Erase/program time is less than 3ms. The EEPROM device requires a
~1500 kHz clock (min 800 kHz, max 1600 kHz) that is generated dividing
the system bus clock by the division factor, contained in the divider
register (minus 1 encoded).

EEPROM will be kept in Power Down mode except during read/write calls.

Srinivas Kandagatla 69aba7948c nvmem: Add a simple NVMEM framework for consumers
This patch adds just consumers part of the framework just to enable easy
review.

Up until now, nvmem drivers were stored in drivers/misc, where they all
had to duplicate pretty much the same code to register a sysfs file,
allow in-kernel users to access the content of the devices they were
driving, etc.

This was also a problem as far as other in-kernel users were involved,
since the solutions used were pretty much different from on driver to
another, there was a rather big abstraction leak.

This introduction of this framework aims at solving this. It also
introduces DT representation for consumer devices to go get the data they
require (MAC Addresses, SoC/Revision ID, part numbers, and so on) from
the nvmems.

Having regmap interface to this framework would give much better
abstraction for nvmems on different buses.

Srinivas Kandagatla eace75cfdc nvmem: Add a simple NVMEM framework for nvmem providers
This patch adds just providers part of the framework just to enable easy
review.

Up until now, NVMEM drivers like eeprom were stored in drivers/misc,
where they all had to duplicate pretty much the same code to register
a sysfs file, allow in-kernel users to access the content of the devices
they were driving, etc.

This was also a problem as far as other in-kernel users were involved,
since the solutions used were pretty much different from on driver to
another, there was a rather big abstraction leak.

This introduction of this framework aims at solving this. It also
introduces DT representation for consumer devices to go get the data
they require (MAC Addresses, SoC/Revision ID, part numbers, and so on)
from the nvmems.

Having regmap interface to this framework would give much better
abstraction for nvmems on different buses.
