Pull driver core updates from Danilo Krummrich:
 "Deferred probe:
   - Fix race where deferred probe timeout work could be permanently
     canceled by using mod_delayed_work()
   - Fix missing jiffies conversion in deferred_probe_extend_timeout()
   - Guard timeout extension with delayed_work_pending() to prevent
     premature firing
   - Use system_percpu_wq instead of the deprecated system_wq
   - Update deferred_probe_timeout documentation

  device:
   - Replace direct struct device bitfield access (can_match, dma_iommu,
     dma_skip_sync, dma_ops_bypass, state_synced, dma_coherent,
     of_node_reused, offline, offline_disabled) with flag-based
     accessors using bit operations
   - Reject devices with unregistered buses
   - Delete unused DEVICE_ATTR_PREALLOC()
   - Add low-level device attribute macros with const show/store
     callbacks, allowing device attributes to reside in read-only memory
   - Move core device attributes to read-only memory
   - Constify group array pointers in driver_add_groups() /
     driver_remove_groups(), struct bus_type, and struct device_driver

  device property:
   - Fix fwnode reference leak in fwnode_graph_get_endpoint_by_id()
   - Initialize all fields of fwnode_handle in fwnode_init()
   - Provide swnode_get()/swnode_put() wrappers around kobject_get/put()
   - Allow passing struct software_node_ref_args pointers directly to
     PROPERTY_ENTRY_REF()

  driver_override:
   - Migrate amba, cdx, vmbus, and rpmsg to the generic driver_override
     infrastructure, fixing a UAF from unsynchronized access to
     driver_override in bus match() callbacks
   - Remove the now-unused driver_set_override()

  firmware loader:
   - Fix recursive lock deadlock in device_cache_fw_images() when async
     work falls back to synchronous execution
   - Fix device reference leak in firmware_upload_register()

  platform:
   - Pass KBUILD_MODNAME through the platform driver registration macro
     to create module symlinks in sysfs for built-in drivers; move
     module_kset initialization to a pure_initcall and tegra cbb
     registration to core_initcall to ensure correct ordering
   - Pass THIS_MODULE implicitly through a coresight_init_driver() macro

  sysfs:
   - Upgrade OOB write detection in sysfs_kf_seq_show() from printk to
     WARN
   - Add return value clamping to sysfs_kf_read()

  Rust:
   - ACPI:

     Fix missing match data for PRP0001 by exporting
     acpi_of_match_device()

   - Auxiliary:

     Replace drvdata() with dedicated registration data on
     auxiliary_device. drvdata() exposed the driver's bus device private
     data beyond the driver's own scope, creating ordering constraints
     and forcing the data to outlive all registrations that access it.
     Registration data is instead scoped structurally to the
     Registration object, making lifecycle ordering enforced by
     construction rather than convention.

   - Rust-native device driver lifetimes (HRT):

     Allow Rust device drivers to carry a lifetime parameter on their
     bus device private data, tied to the device binding scope -- the
     interval during which a bus device is bound to a driver. Device
     resources like pci::Bar&lt;'a&gt; and IoMem&lt;'a&gt; can be stored directly in
     the driver's bus device private data with a lifetime bounded by the
     binding scope, so the compiler enforces at build time that they do
     not outlive the binding. This removes Devres indirection from every
     access site and eliminates try_access() failure paths in
     destructors.

     Bus driver traits use a Generic Associated Type (GAT) Data&lt;'bound&gt;
     to introduce the lifetime on the private data, rather than
     parameterizing the Driver trait itself. Auxiliary registration
     data, where the lifetime is not introduced by a trait callback but
     must be threaded through Registration, uses the ForLt trait (a
     type-level abstraction for types generic over a lifetime).

  Misc:
   - Fix DT overlayed devices not probing by reverting the broken
     treewide overlay fix and re-running fw_devlink consumer pickup when
     an overlay is applied to a bound device
   - Use root_device_register() for faux bus root device; add sanity
     check for failed bus init
   - Fix dev_has_sync_state() data race with READ_ONCE() and move it to
     base.h
   - Avoid spurious device_links warning when removing a device while
     its supplier is unbinding
   - Switch ISA bus to dynamic root device
   - Fix suspicious RCU usage in kernfs_put()
   - Remove devcoredump exit callback
   - Constify devfreq_event_class"

CVS (Computer Vision Sensing) is an ACPI-enumerated device that sits
inline in the CSI-2 path between the camera sensor and Intel IPU.
On platforms where CVS is present, the camera sensor's ACPI node
declares a _DEP dependency on the CVS device.

The CVS driver must be fully initialized before camera sensor drivers
probe, because CVS controls the CSI-2 link ownership handshake (via
GPIO REQ/RESP), the MIPI/CSI-2 lane configuration, and the camera
power domain. Without CVS ready, the sensor driver can bind but the
CSI-2 stream will not function correctly.

The CVS driver calls acpi_dev_clear_dependencies() at the end of its
probe() to unblock waiting consumers once it is ready.

Move the CVS HIDs from acpi_ignore_dep_ids[] to acpi_honor_dep_ids[]
so that camera sensor enumeration is deferred until the CVS driver has
finished probing, matching the behavior already in place for IVSC.

CXL root devices (ACPI0017) declare _DEP on their parent ACPI0016
PCI/CXL host bridge so that cxl_acpi probes only after acpi_pci_root
has attached the PCI root and registered it for acpi_pci_find_root().
However, acpi_dev_ready_for_enumeration() only consults dep_unmet
when the supplier's HID is on acpi_honor_dep_ids[]; otherwise the
dependency is silently ignored.

Without honoring the dependency, cxl_acpi can probe before the PCI
root is ready. The resulting CXL topology is broken: decoder targets
read as 0 and no port/endpoint devices appear under
/sys/bus/cxl/devices/.

Add ACPI0016 to acpi_honor_dep_ids[] so the _DEP declared by ACPI0017
is enforced. This relies on the preceding patch ("ACPI: PCI: clear
_DEP dependencies after PCI root bridge attach"), which releases the
dependency once the PCI root is fully enumerated; the two patches
must be applied together.

In C, bitfields are not necessarily safe to modify from multiple
threads without locking. Switch "offline" and "offline_disabled" over
to the "flags" field so modifications are safe.

After acpi_init_device_object(), the lifetime of struct acpi_device is
managed by the driver core through reference counting.

Both acpi_add_power_resource() and acpi_add_single_object() call
acpi_init_device_object() and then invoke acpi_device_add(). If that
fails, their error paths call the release callback directly instead of
dropping the device reference through acpi_dev_put().

This bypasses the normal device lifetime rules and frees the object
without releasing the reference acquired by device_initialize(), which
may lead to a refcount leak.

The issue was identified by a static analysis tool I developed and
confirmed by manual review.

Fix both error paths by using acpi_dev_put() and let the release
callback handle the final cleanup.

Commit 02c057ddefef ("ACPI: video: Convert the driver to a platform one")
switched over the ACPI video bus driver from an ACPI driver to a platform
driver, but that change introduced an unwanted and unexpected side effect.
Namely, on some systems, the ACPI device object of the ACPI video bus
device is an ACPI companion of multiple platform devices and, after
adding video_device_ids[] as an acpi_match_table to the acpi_video_bus
platform driver, all of those devices started to match that driver and
its probe callback is invoked for all of them (it fails, but it leaves
a confusing message in the log).  Moreover, the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE()
of the ACPI video driver module matches all of the devices sharing the
ACPI companion with the ACPI video bus device.

To address this, make the core ACPI device enumeration code create an
auxiliary device for the ACPI video bus device object instead of a
platform device and switch over the ACPI video bus driver (once more)
to an auxiliary driver.

Auxiliary driver generally is a better match for ACPI video bus than
platform driver, among other things because the ACPI video bus device
does not require any resources to be allocated for it during
enumeration.  It also allows the ACPI video bus driver to stop abusing
device matching based on ACPI device IDs and it allows a special case
to be dropped from acpi_create_platform_device() because that function
need not worry about the ACPI video bus device any more.

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

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.

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 *".
