These drivers (and usb-serial.c) no longer use anything from uaccess.h
directly so drop the unnecessary include directives.

<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>
<content type='text'>
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

<id>urn:sha1:69050f8d6d075dc01af7a5f2f550a8067510366f</id>
<content type='text'>
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

<title>USB: serial: quatech2: fix null-ptr-deref in qt2_process_read_urb()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:575a5adf48b06a2980c9eeffedf699ed5534fade</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch addresses a null-ptr-deref in qt2_process_read_urb() due to
an incorrect bounds check in the following:

       if (newport &gt; serial-&gt;num_ports) {
               dev_err(&amp;port-&gt;dev,
                       "%s - port change to invalid port: %i\n",
                       __func__, newport);
               break;
       }

The condition doesn't account for the valid range of the serial-&gt;port
buffer, which is from 0 to serial-&gt;num_ports - 1. When newport is equal
to serial-&gt;num_ports, the assignment of "port" in the
following code is out-of-bounds and NULL:

       serial_priv-&gt;current_port = newport;
       port = serial-&gt;port[serial_priv-&gt;current_port];

The fix checks if newport is greater than or equal to serial-&gt;num_ports
indicating it is out-of-bounds.

asm/unaligned.h is always an include of asm-generic/unaligned.h;
might as well move that thing to linux/unaligned.h and include
that - there's nothing arch-specific in that header.

Core in usb_serial_register_drivers() already sets the .owner, so driver
does not need to.

Start propagating errors to user space when setting the break state
fails.

This will be used by follow-on changes to also report when a driver or
device does not support break control.
