<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>media: dvb: symbol fixup for dvb_attach()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:86495af1171e1feec79faa9b64c05c89f46e41d1</id>
<content type='text'>
In commit 9011e49d54dc ("modules: only allow symbol_get of
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL modules") the use of symbol_get is properly restricted
to GPL-only marked symbols.  This interacts oddly with the DVB logic
which only uses dvb_attach() to load the dvb driver which then uses
symbol_get().

Fix this up by properly marking all of the dvb_attach attach symbols as
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().

Fixes: 9011e49d54dc ("modules: only allow symbol_get of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL modules")

In preparation to enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough for Clang, fix multiple
warnings by explicitly adding multiple break and a return statements
instead of just letting the code fall through to the next case.

<content type='text'>
Right now, satellite frontend drivers specify frequencies in kHz,
while terrestrial/cable ones specify in Hz. That's confusing
for developers.

However, the main problem is that universal frontends capable
of handling both satellite and non-satelite delivery systems
are appearing. We end by needing to hack the drivers in
order to support such hybrid frontends.

So, convert everything to specify frontend frequencies in Hz.

<title>media: m88rs2000: handle the case where tuner doesn't have get_frequency</title>

<id>urn:sha1:74a6799ca9823690046091361ce062d3ccfeac8d</id>
<content type='text'>
If the tuner doesn't have get_frequency() callback, the current
code will place a random value as the frequency offset. That
doesn't seem right! The better is to just assume that, on such
case, the tuner was able to set the exact frequency that was
requested.

Fixes a smatch warning:
	drivers/media/dvb-frontends/m88rs2000.c:639 m88rs2000_set_frontend() error: uninitialized symbol 'tuner_freq'.

These are immutable.  Making them "const" allows the compiler to move
them to the "rodata" section.

Note that cxd2841er_t_c_ops cannot be made "const", because
cxd2841er_attach() modifies it.  Ouch!
