297d716f62 power_supply: Change ownership from driver to core
Change the ownership of power_supply structure from each driver
implementing the class to the power supply core.

The patch changes power_supply_register() function thus all drivers
implementing power supply class are adjusted.

Each driver provides the implementation of power supply. However it
should not be the owner of power supply class instance because it is
exposed by core to other subsystems with power_supply_get_by_name().
These other subsystems have no knowledge when the driver will unregister
the power supply. This leads to several issues when driver is unbound -
mostly because user of power supply accesses freed memory.

Instead let the core own the instance of struct 'power_supply'.  Other
users of this power supply will still access valid memory because it
will be freed when device reference count reaches 0. Currently this
means "it will leak" but power_supply_put() call in next patches will
solve it.

This solves invalid memory references in following race condition
scenario:

Thread 1: charger manager
Thread 2: power supply driver, used by charger manager

THREAD 1 (charger manager)         THREAD 2 (power supply driver)
==========================         ==============================
psy = power_supply_get_by_name()
                                   Driver unbind, .remove
                                     power_supply_unregister()
                                     Device fully removed
psy->get_property()

The 'get_property' call is executed in invalid context because the driver was
unbound and struct 'power_supply' memory was freed.

This could be observed easily with charger manager driver (here compiled
with max17040 fuel gauge):

2dc9215d7c power_supply: Move run-time configuration to separate structure
Add new structure 'power_supply_config' for holding run-time
initialization data like of_node, supplies and private driver data.

The power_supply_register() function is changed so all power supply
drivers need updating.

When registering the power supply this new 'power_supply_config' should be
used instead of directly initializing 'struct power_supply'. This allows
changing the ownership of power_supply structure from driver to the
power supply core in next patches.

When a driver does not use of_node or supplies then it should use NULL
as config. If driver uses of_node or supplies then it should allocate
config on stack and initialize it with proper values.

1915a718b1 compal-laptop: Check return value of power_supply_register
The return value of power_supply_register() call was not checked and
even on error probe() function returned 0. If registering failed then
during unbind the driver tried to unregister power supply which was not
actually registered.

This could lead to memory corruption because power_supply_unregister()
unconditionally cleans up given power supply.

Fix this by checking return status of power_supply_register() call. In
case of failure, clean up sysfs entries and fail the probe.

registering of hwmon device to resource-managed version. It mostly did
it except the main thing - it forgot to use devm-like function so the
hwmon device leaked after device removal or probe failure.

With the new hwmon API, hwmon attributes are now attached to the hwmon device.
Therefore, split hwmon and device attributes into two separate groups.
Platform attributes are still attached to the platform device.

Also use devm_kzalloc to allocate local data structures for further

added features.  The biggest novelties are a battery interface
(power_supply) and a temperature and fan control interface (hmwon).  It
also adds a power-off feature to the backlight subsystem and it exports a
few files that can enable/disable wake_on_XXX events.

Much of the original code of the old features is still there, but I've
changed some names to keep the naming more coherent with the added
functionalities.  (Sorry for the huge patch)

Some technical stuff about the new driver:

First of all, I'm not sure if the extra features also work on the other
Compal boards.  Currently they only get enabled if the DMI data indicates
you are on a JHL90 board.

Secondly, I've noticed a quirk in my fan controller.  I have to re-send
the wanted pwm-level to the controller every so often.  If I don't do
this, the fanspeed will slowly rise until after a couple of minutes it's
at full speed.  (Note that every normal userland application will probably
update the pwm-level every so often anyway, based on temperature readings,
so this might not be an issue in practice) If this turns out to be a
problem with all the controllers, maybe we should implement a kernel timer
and have the driver re-send the pwm level every XX seconds to make this
transparent to userspace?  (However, I couldn't immediately find a way to
do this cleanly.)

Additional information can be found in the source comments.

a19a6ee6ca backlight: Allow properties to be passed at registration
Values such as max_brightness should be set before backlights are
registered, but the current API doesn't allow that. Add a parameter to
backlight_device_register and update drivers to ensure that they
set this correctly.

493e91433e compal-laptop: Replace sysfs support with rfkill support
This drops the support for manually groking the files in sysfs
to turn on and off the WLAN and BT for Compal laptops in favor
of platform rfkill support.

It has been combined into a single patch to not introduce regressions
in the process of simply adding rfkill support

41b16dce39 create drivers/platform/x86/ from drivers/misc/
Move x86 platform specific drivers from drivers/misc/
to a new home under drivers/platform/x86/.

The community has been maintaining x86 vendor-specific
platform specific drivers under /drivers/misc/ for a few years.
The oldest ones started life under drivers/acpi.
They moved out of drivers/acpi/ because they don't actually
implement the ACPI specification, but either simply
use ACPI, or implement vendor-specific ACPI extensions.

In the future we anticipate...
drivers/misc/ will go away.
other architectures will create drivers/platform/<arch>
