Pull char/misc/IIO/etc driver updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big set of char, misc, iio, counter, fpga, and other small driver subsystems for 7.3-rc1. Overall, due to some driver removals we only added a bit more code than removed, which was a nice change. Highlights in this merge request are: - Loads of IIO driver updates and additions - binder driver updates (more on that below...) - Removal of the SGI XP and GRU drivers as they are not used anymore and turn out to be pretty insecure overall - Removal of the obsolete ibmasm driver as it's not being used anymore - Coresight driver updates and additions - Mei driver udpates - Counter driver updates - FPGA driver updates - ICC driver updates - lots and lots of other tiny driver updates to resolve reported issues All of these have been in linux-next for a while" * tag 'char-misc-7.3-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc: (513 commits) iio: chemical: atlas-sensor: use iio_trigger_poll_nested() to fix remove UAF iio: adc: pac1921: fix wrong channel used in trigger handler read iio: light: gp2ap002: re-enable irq if runtime suspend fails iio: light: gp2ap002: Fix unbalanced runtime PM on repeated event writes iio: light: apds9306: fix PM reference leak in apds9306_read_data() iio: gyro: mpu3050: fix sign of raw angular velocity readings iio: srf04: fix pm_runtime handling on probe error path iio: adc: ad4080: configure backend data size iio: adc: adi-axi-adc: add data size support for AD408X backend iio: chemical: atlas-sensor: fix PM reference leak in buffer postenable iio: dac: ad5446: fix OF module device table iio: light: opt4001: Fix reversed GENMASK() arguments in fault count mask iio: light: opt4001: Reject integration times with a non-zero seconds part iio: light: opt4001: Fix incompatible pointer type passed to div_u64_rem() iio: light: opt4001: Fix power down clearing bits of the wrong register iio: light: opt4060: Fix incorrect register name in threshold read error message iio: light: opt4060: Fix pointer type passed to div_u64_rem() iio: light: opt4060: Reject integration times with a non-zero seconds part iio: light: ltrf216a: fix runtime PM reference leak in error path iio: pressure: dps310: fix NULL pointer dereference on ACPI probe ...

nvmem: split out the reg_read/write() callbacks out of struct nvmem_device

2026-07-31T12:15:53+00:00

The reg_read/write() fields of struct nvmem_device point to memory owned by the nvmem provider. They must not be dereferenced after the provider is unregistered. Ahead of protecting against accesses to invalid memory with SRCU, move the callbacks into a separate structure the address of which is stored in nvmem_device.

nvmem: remove unused field from struct nvmem_device

2026-07-31T12:15:53+00:00

The node list_head in struct nvmem_device was added accidentally by commit ec9c08a1cb8d ("nvmem: Create a header for internal sharing") and is unused so remove it.

nvmem: layouts: Add fixed-layout driver

2026-07-31T09:00:13+00:00

Current implementation isn't working well when device tree nodes have a phandle on a fixed-layout nvmem node. As the fixed layout is handled in nvmem core, no driver is ever associated with the layout, and the device consumer driver probe is deferred indefinitely. Remove the specific handling of fixed-layout and add a layout driver. This makes the fixed-layout similar to all other layouts, fixing the whole issue.

nvmem: core: Expose cells through sysfs

2023-12-15T12:30:08+00:00

The binary content of nvmem devices is available to the user so in the easiest cases, finding the content of a cell is rather easy as it is just a matter of looking at a known and fixed offset. However, nvmem layouts have been recently introduced to cope with more advanced situations, where the offset and size of the cells is not known in advance or is dynamic. When using layouts, more advanced parsers are used by the kernel in order to give direct access to the content of each cell, regardless of its position/size in the underlying device. Unfortunately, these information are not accessible by users, unless by fully re-implementing the parser logic in userland. Let's expose the cells and their content through sysfs to avoid these situations. Of course the relevant NVMEM sysfs Kconfig option must be enabled for this support to be available. Not all nvmem devices expose cells. Indeed, the .bin_attrs attribute group member will be filled at runtime only when relevant and will remain empty otherwise. In this case, as the cells attribute group will be empty, it will not lead to any additional folder/file creation. Exposed cells are read-only. There is, in practice, everything in the core to support a write path, but as I don't see any need for that, I prefer to keep the interface simple (and probably safer). The interface is documented as being in the "testing" state which means we can later add a write attribute if though relevant.

nvmem: core: Rework layouts to become regular devices

2023-12-15T12:30:07+00:00

Current layout support was initially written without modules support in mind. When the requirement for module support rose, the existing base was improved to adopt modularization support, but kind of a design flaw was introduced. With the existing implementation, when a storage device registers into NVMEM, the core tries to hook a layout (if any) and populates its cells immediately. This means, if the hardware description expects a layout to be hooked up, but no driver was provided for that, the storage medium will fail to probe and try later from scratch. Even if we consider that the hardware description shall be correct, we could still probe the storage device (especially if it contains the rootfs). One way to overcome this situation is to consider the layouts as devices, and leverage the native notifier mechanism. When a new NVMEM device is registered, we can populate its nvmem-layout child, if any, and wait for the matching to be done in order to get the cells (the waiting can be easily done with the NVMEM notifiers). If the layout driver is compiled as a module, it should automatically be loaded. This way, there is no strong order to enforce, any NVMEM device creation or NVMEM layout driver insertion will be observed as a new event which may lead to the creation of additional cells, without disturbing the probes with costly (and sometimes endless) deferrals. In order to achieve that goal we create a new bus for the nvmem-layouts with minimal logic to match nvmem-layout devices with nvmem-layout drivers. All this infrastructure code is created in the layouts.c file.

nvmem: Move and rename ->fixup_cell_info()

2023-12-15T12:30:07+00:00

This hook is meant to be used by any provider and instantiating a layout just for this is useless. Let's instead move this hook to the nvmem device and add it to the config structure to be easily shared by the providers. While at moving this hook, rename it ->fixup_dt_cell_info() to clarify its main intended purpose.

nvmem: Create a header for internal sharing

2023-12-15T12:30:07+00:00

Before adding all the NVMEM layout bus infrastructure to the core, let's move the main nvmem_device structure in an internal header, only available to the core. This way all the additional code can be added in a dedicated file in order to keep the current core file tidy.
