Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.4-rc1.
Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening in
the driver core in the quest to be able to move "struct bus" and "struct
class" into read-only memory, a task now complete with these changes.
This will make the future rust interactions with the driver core more
"provably correct" as well as providing more obvious lifetime rules for
all busses and classes in the kernel.
The changes required for this did touch many individual classes and
busses as many callbacks were changed to take const * parameters
instead. All of these changes have been submitted to the various
subsystem maintainers, giving them plenty of time to review, and most of
them actually did so.
Other than those changes, included in here are a small set of other
things:
- kobject logging improvements
- cacheinfo improvements and updates
- obligatory fw_devlink updates and fixes
- documentation updates
- device property cleanups and const * changes
- firwmare loader dependency fixes.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
problems.

wwan_port_fops_write inputs the SKB parameter to the TX callback of
the WWAN device driver. However, the WWAN device (e.g., t7xx) may
have an MTU less than the size of SKB, causing the TX buffer to be
sliced and copied once more in the WWAN device driver.
This patch implements the slicing in the WWAN subsystem and gives
the WWAN devices driver the option to slice(by frag_len) or not. By
doing so, the additional memory copy is reduced.
Meanwhile, this patch gives WWAN devices driver the option to reserve
headroom in fragments for the device-specific metadata.

The module pointer in class_create() never actually did anything, and it
shouldn't have been requred to be set as a parameter even if it did
something. So just remove it and fix up all callers of the function in
the kernel tree at the same time.

Inject fault while probing module, if device_register() fails,
but the refcount of kobject is not decreased to 0, the name
allocated in dev_set_name() is leaked. Fix this by calling
put_device(), so that name can be freed in callback function
kobject_cleanup().

Flushing system-wide workqueues is dangerous and will be forbidden.
Replace system_wq with local wwan_wq.
While we are at it, make err_clean_devs: label of wwan_hwsim_init()
behave like wwan_hwsim_exit(), for it is theoretically possible to call
wwan_hwsim_debugfs_devcreate_write()/wwan_hwsim_debugfs_devdestroy_write()
by the moment wwan_hwsim_init_devs() returns.

Most, if not each WWAN device driver will create a netdev for the
default data channel. Therefore, add an option for the WWAN netdev ops
registration function to create a default netdev for the WWAN device.
A WWAN device driver should pass a default data channel link id to the
ops registering function to request the creation of a default netdev, or
a special value WWAN_NO_DEFAULT_LINK to inform the WWAN core that the
default netdev should not be created.
For now, only wwan_hwsim utilize the default link creation option. Other
drivers will be reworked next.

The WWAN netdev ops owner holding was used to protect from the
unexpected memory disappear. This approach causes a dependency cycle
(driver -> core -> driver) and effectively prevents a WWAN driver
unloading. E.g. WWAN hwsim could not be unloaded until all simulated
devices are removed:
~# modprobe wwan_hwsim devices=2
~# lsmod | grep wwan
wwan_hwsim 16384 2
wwan 20480 1 wwan_hwsim
~# rmmod wwan_hwsim
rmmod: ERROR: Module wwan_hwsim is in use
~# echo > /sys/kernel/debug/wwan_hwsim/hwsim0/destroy
~# echo > /sys/kernel/debug/wwan_hwsim/hwsim1/destroy
~# lsmod | grep wwan
wwan_hwsim 16384 0
wwan 20480 1 wwan_hwsim
~# rmmod wwan_hwsim
For a real device driver this will cause an inability to unload module
until a served device is physically detached.
Since the last commit we are removing all child netdev(s) when a driver
unregister the netdev ops. This allows us to permit the driver
unloading, since any sane driver will call ops unregistering on a device
deinitialization. So, remove the holding of an ops owner to make it
easier to unload a driver module. The owner field has also beed removed
from the ops structure as there are no more users of this field.

Add support for networking interface creation via the WWAN core by
registering the WWAN netdev creation ops for each simulated WWAN device.
Implemented minimalistic netdev support where the xmit callback just
consumes all egress skbs.
This should help with WWAN network interfaces creation testing.

wwan_hwsim creates and removes simulated control ports on module loading
and unloading. It would be helpful to be able to create/remove devices
and ports at run-time to trigger wwan port (un-)register actions without
module reloading.
Some simulator objects (e.g. ports) do not have the underling device and
it is not possible to fully manage the simulator via sysfs. wwan_hsim
intend for developers, so implement it as a self-contained debugfs based
management interface.
