5801169a2e of: __of_detach_node() - remove node from phandle cache
Non-overlay dynamic devicetree node removal may leave the node in
the phandle cache.  Subsequent calls to of_find_node_by_phandle()
will incorrectly find the stale entry.  Remove the node from the
cache.

Add paranoia checks in of_find_node_by_phandle() as a second level
of defense (do not return cached node if detached, do not add node
to cache if detached).

Fixes: 0b3ce78e90 ("of: cache phandle nodes to reduce cost of of_find_node_by_phandle()")

f962788101 of: overlay: set node fields from properties when add new overlay node
Overlay nodes added by add_changeset_node() do not have the node
fields name, phandle, and type set.

The node passed to __of_attach_node() when the add node changeset
entry is processed does not contain any properties.  The node's
properties are located in add property changeset entries that will
be processed after the add node changeset is applied.

Set the node's fields in the node contained in the add node
changeset entry and do not set them to incorrect values in
add_changeset_node().

A visible symptom that is fixed by this patch is the names of nodes
added by overlays that have an entry in /sys/bus/platform/drivers/*/
will contain the unit-address but the node-name will be <NULL>,  for
example, "fc4ab000.<NULL>".  After applying the patch the name, in
this example, for node restart@fc4ab000 is "fc4ab000.restart".

5b2c2f5a0e of: overlay: add missing of_node_get() in __of_attach_node_sysfs
There is a matching of_node_put() in __of_detach_node_sysfs()

Remove misleading comment from function header comment for
of_detach_node().

This patch may result in memory leaks from code that directly calls
the dynamic node add and delete functions directly instead of
using changesets.

This commit should result in powerpc systems that dynamically
allocate a node, then later deallocate the node to have a
memory leak when the node is deallocated.

The next commit will fix the leak.

144552c786 of: overlay: add tests to validate kfrees from overlay removal
Add checks:
  - attempted kfree due to refcount reaching zero before overlay
    is removed
  - properties linked to an overlay node when the node is removed
  - node refcount > one during node removal in a changeset destroy,
    if the node was created by the changeset

After applying this patch, several validation warnings will be
reported from the devicetree unittest during boot due to
pre-existing devicetree bugs. The warnings will be similar to:

  OF: ERROR: of_node_release(), unexpected properties in /testcase-data/overlay-node/test-bus/test-unittest11
  OF: ERROR: memory leak, expected refcount 1 instead of 2, of_node_get()/of_node_put() unbalanced - destroy cset entry: attach overlay node /testcase-data-2/substation@100/

b89dae1852 of: overlay: do not include path in full_name of added nodes
Struct device_node full_name no longer includes the full path name
when the devicetree is created from a flattened device tree (FDT).
The overlay node creation code was not modified to reflect this
change.  Fix the node full_name generated by overlay code to contain
only the basename.

Unittests call an overlay internal function to create new nodes.
Fix up these calls to provide basename only instead of the full
path.

24789c5ce5 of: overlay: detect cases where device tree may become corrupt
When an attempt to apply an overlay changeset fails, an effort
is made to revert any partial application of the changeset.
When an attempt to remove an overlay changeset fails, an effort
is made to re-apply any partial reversion of the changeset.

The existing code does not check for failure to recover a failed
overlay changeset application or overlay changeset revert.

Add the missing checks and flag the devicetree as corrupt if the
state of the devicetree can not be determined.

Improve and expand the returned errors to more fully reflect the
result of the effort to undo the partial effects of a failed attempt
to apply or remove an overlay changeset.

If the device tree might be corrupt, do not allow further attempts
to apply or remove an overlay changeset.

When creating an overlay changeset from an overlay device tree,
add some additional warnings if the state of the overlay device
tree is not as expected.

0290c4ca25 of: overlay: rename identifiers to more reflect what they do
This patch is aimed primarily at drivers/of/overlay.c, but those
changes also have a small impact in a few other files.

overlay.c is difficult to read and maintain.  Improve readability:
  - Rename functions, types and variables to better reflect what
    they do and to be consistent with names in other places,
    such as the device tree overlay FDT (flattened device tree),
    and make the algorithms more clear
  - Use the same names consistently throughout the file
  - Update comments for name changes
  - Fix incorrect comments

This patch is intended to not introduce any functional change.

b56b5528f5 of: make kobject and bin_attribute support configurable
Having device_nodes be kobjects is only needed if sysfs or OF_DYNAMIC is
enabled. Otherwise, having a kobject in struct device_node is
unnecessary bloat in minimal kernel configurations.

Likewise, bin_attribute is only needed in struct property when sysfs is
enabled, so we can make it configurable too.

259092a35c of: Reorder device tree changes and notifiers
Currently, devicetree reconfig notifiers get emitted before the change
is applied to the tree, but that behaviour is problematic if the
receiver wants the determine the new state of the tree. The current
users don't care, but the changeset code to follow will be making
multiple changes at once. Reorder notifiers to get emitted after the
change has been applied to the tree so that callbacks see the new tree
state.

At the same time, fixup the existing callbacks to expect the new order.
There are a few callbacks that compare the old and new values of a
changed property. Put both property pointers into the of_prop_reconfig
structure.

The current notifiers also allow the notifier callback to fail and
cancel the change to the tree, but that feature isn't actually used.
It really isn't valid to ignore a tree modification provided by firmware
anyway, so remove the ability to cancel a change to the tree.

a25095d451 of: Move dynamic node fixups out of powerpc and into common code
PowerPC does an odd thing with dynamic nodes. It uses a notifier to
catch new node additions and set some of the values like name and type.
This makes no sense since that same code can be put directly into
of_attach_node(). Besides, all dynamic node users need this, not just
powerpc. Fix this problem by moving the logic out of arch/powerpc and
into drivers/of/dynamic.c.

It is also important to remove this notifier because we want to move the
firing of notifiers from before the tree is modified to after so that
the receiver gets a consistent view of the tree, but that is
incompatible with notifiers that modify the node.

8a2b22a259 of: Make devicetree sysfs update functions consistent.
All of the DT modification functions are split into two parts, the first
part manipulates the DT data structure, and the second part updates
sysfs, but the code isn't very consistent about how the second half is
called. They don't all enforce the same rules about when it is valid to
update sysfs, and there isn't any clarity on locking.

The transactional DT modification feature that is coming also needs
access to these functions so that it can perform all the structure
changes together, and then all the sysfs updates as a second stage
instead of doing each one at a time.

Fix up the second have by creating a separate __of_*_sysfs() function
for each of the helpers. The new functions have consistent naming (ie.
of_node_add() becomes __of_attach_node_sysfs()) and all of them now
defer if of_init hasn't been called yet.

Callers of the new functions must hold the of_mutex to ensure there are
no race conditions with of_init(). The mutex ensures that there will
only ever be one writer to the tree at any given time. There can still
be any number of readers and the raw_spin_lock is still used to make
sure access to the data structure is still consistent.

Finally, put the function prototypes into of_private.h so they are
accessible to the transaction code.

Extract the core behaviour from the accessors and create the following
unlocked variants.

The unlocked variants require either the lock to already be held or for
the nodes to be detached from the tree. Changes to live nodes will not
get updated in sysfs, so the caller must arrange for housekeeping to
take place after dropping the lock.

The new functions are: __of_add_property(), __of_remove_property(),
__of_update_property(), __of_attach_node() and __of_detach_node().

698433963b OF: Utility helper functions for dynamic nodes
Introduce helper functions for working with the live DT tree,
all of them related to dynamically adding/removing nodes and
properties.

__of_prop_dup() copies a property dynamically
__of_node_alloc() creates an empty node

6afc0dc381 of: Move CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC code into a separate file
Split the dynamic device tree code into a separate file to make it
really clear what features CONFIF_OF_DYNAMIC add to the kernel. Without
CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC only properties can be changed, and notifiers do not
get sent. Enabling it turns on reference counting, notifiers and the
ability to add and remove nodes.

v2: Moved of_node_release() into dynamic.c
