There are calls which silently set the owner of a module. This is the
preferred way [1], so avoid setting it manually. Currently, we only care
about platform drivers, but there might be more calls to be added later.

This script detects cases of use of cast for the value returned by
kmalloc, kzalloc, kcalloc, kmem_cache_alloc, kmem_cache_zalloc,
kmem_cache_alloc_node, kmalloc_node and kzalloc_node and removes
the cast as it is not useful. This Coccinelle script replaces
drop_kmalloc_cast.cocci as it removes the casting in more limited
cases of kmalloc, kzalloc and kcalloc.

devm_request_and_ioremap() was obsoleted by the commit 7509657
("lib: devres: Introduce devm_ioremap_resource()") and has been
deprecated for a long time. So, let's remove this function.
In addition, all usages of devm_request_and_ioremap() are also
removed.

<title>scripts: Coccinelle script for pm_runtime_* return checks with IS_ERR_VALUE</title>

As indicated by Sekhar in [1], there seems to be a tendency to use
IS_ERR_VALUE to check the error result for pm_runtime_* functions which
make no sense considering commit c48cd65 (ARM: OMAP: use consistent
error checking) - the error values can either be &lt; 0 for error OR
0, 1 in cases where we have success.

So, setup a coccinelle script to help identify the same.

<id>75096579c3ac39ddc2f8b0d9a8924eba31f4d920</id>
<content type='text'>
The devm_request_and_ioremap() function is very useful and helps avoid a
whole lot of boilerplate. However, one issue that keeps popping up is
its lack of a specific error code to determine which of the steps that
it performs failed. Furthermore, while the function gives an example and
suggests what error code to return on failure, a wide variety of error
codes are used throughout the tree.

In an attempt to fix these problems, this patch adds a new function that
drivers can transition to. The devm_ioremap_resource() returns a pointer
to the remapped I/O memory on success or an ERR_PTR() encoded error code
on failure. Callers can check for failure using IS_ERR() and determine
its cause by extracting the error code using PTR_ERR().

devm_request_and_ioremap() is implemented as a wrapper around the new
API and return NULL on failure as before. This ensures that backwards
compatibility is maintained until all users have been converted to the
new API, at which point the old devm_request_and_ioremap() function
should be removed.

A semantic patch is included which can be used to convert from the old
devm_request_and_ioremap() API to the new devm_ioremap_resource() API.
Some non-trivial cases may require manual intervention, though.
