Add persistent symlinks for MTD devices like SPI-NOR flash, based on the
partition names specified on the cmdline, in a Device Tree, or by other
MTD partitioning parser drivers. Using the persistent name can be
preferable to using the numbered /dev/mtdX device, as the latter can
change depending on probe order or when partitioning has changed.
This directory never seemed to exist. The wording is very similar to
that of the Rules Files section, so it is possible that the same text
was copied and pasted by mistake. The HWDB never looked for files in
/run.
Having a non-volatile index of volatile files would probably not be
useful.
Introduce UDEV_HWDB_PATH, containing a colon-separated path with hwdb
files in it. The whole path is searched, in addition to the system
locations, when searching for hwdb files.
Due to how conf_files_list_strv is implemented, as a thin wrapper
around the internal function, it is easy to also implement a variant
accepting a search path in the same way. Since the internal function
expects an allocated array of allocated strings, the path scanning is
done in 2 steps, to first get the array length, and then duplicate the
items. It is not possible to use strtok(_r) here because it would work
for only 1 pass.
* src/shared/conf-files.c (conf_files_list_follow_path): New function.
(conf_files_list_strv_path): Use it here.
* src/shared/conf-files.h: Export the signature for the _path variant.
* src/udev/udevadm-hwdb.c (list_conf_file_path): New function
replacing conf_file_dirs.
(help): Document the search path for hwdb files.
(adm_hwdb): Use list_conf_file_path and conf_files_list_strv_path.
* man/udevadm.xml: Mention UDEV_HWDB_PATH.
* man/udev.xml: Same.
* man/udevadm.8: Regenerate.
* man/udev.7: Same.
Instead of always writing /etc/udev/hwdb.bin or UDEV_LIBEXEC_DIR
/hwdb.bin, let the user specify a full file name.
* src/udev/udevadm-hwdb.c (adm_hwdb): New option "output". Construct
hwdb_bin when processing options, and prepend root after processing
options.
* man/udev.xml: Mention --output.
* man/udevadm.xml: Document --output.
* man/udev.7: Regenerate.
* man/udevadm.8: Same.
* src/libudev/libudev-hwdb.c (get_hwdb_bin_paths): New function,
replacing hwdb_bin_paths.
(struct udev_hwdb): New bin_paths field.
(udev_hwdb_new): Initialize it with get_hwdb_bin_paths.
(udev_hwdb_validate): Use the bin_paths field to find hwdb.bin.
(udev_hwdb_unref): Free the bin_paths field.
* src/libudev/libudev.h: Warn about UDEV_HWDB_BIN.
* man/udev.xml: Mention run-time UDEV_HWDB_BIN.
* man/udev.7: Re-generate.
- udev_device_has_current_tag
- udev_device_get_current_tags_list_entry
since the current eudev device database does not support the concept of
current tags
Kernel versions prior to 3.4 did not have V4L2_CAP_DEVICE_CAPS and
compiling against such a kernel will fail.
This patch introduces a version check and makes eudev fall back to
v2cap.capabilities on these kernels.
- the value is unused anyways
- thanks to Arsen for spotting this

The cros-ec-accel devices report their mounting location by the 'label'
sysfs file only since Linux v6.0. With earlier kernels, a nonstandard
'location' file reports this, but slightly differently (lid instead of
display) [1].
Add udev rules to import the correct hwdb entries based on this
'location' file for cros-ec-accel devices, so that the base-mounted
accel matrix has the correct value for older kernels as well.
