Here is the big set of staging and IIO driver updates for 5.13-rc1.
Lots of little churn in here, and some larger churn as well. Major
things are:
- removal of wimax drivers, no one has this hardware anymore for
this failed "experiment".
- removal of the Google gasket driver, turns out no one wanted
to maintain it or cares about it anymore, so they asked for it
to be removed.
- comedi finally moves out of the staging directory into
drivers/comedi/ This is one of the oldest kernel subsystems
around, being created in the 2.0 kernel days, and was one of
the first things added to drivers/staging/ when that was
created over 15 years ago. It should have been moved out of
staging a long time ago, it's well maintained and used by
loads of different devices in the real world every day. Nice
to see this finally happen.
- so many tiny coding style cleanups it's not funny. Perfect
storm of at least 2 different intern project application
deadlines combined to provide a huge number of new
contributions in this area from people learning how to do
kernel development. Great job to everyone involved here.
There's also the normal updates for IIO drivers with new IIO drivers and
updates all over that subsystem.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues.

There's no need to declare a list and then init it manually,
just use the LIST_HEAD() macro.

This patch moves the ALSA sound driver out of the staging area and adds it
to the stable part of the MOST driver. Modifications to the Makefiles and
Kconfigs are done accordingly to not break the build.

The only usage of these is to put their addresses in arrays of pointers
to const attribute_groups. Make them const to allow the compiler to put
them in read-only memory.

In the case where the pointer iface is null then the reporting of this
error will dereference iface when printing an error message causing which
is not ideal. Since the majority of callers to most_register_interface
report an error when -EINVAL is returned a simple fix is to just remove
the error message, I doubt it will be missed.

This patch replaces function module_init() with subsys_initcall().
It is needed to ensure that the core module of the driver is
initialized before a component tries to register with the core. This
leads to a NULL pointer dereference if the driver is configured as
in-tree.
