clk_change_rate() is accessing parent's rate without checking
if the parent exists at all. In case of root clocks this will
cause NULL pointer dereference.
This patch follows what clk_calc_new_rates() does in such
situation.

Parent clocks for muxes are cached in clk->parents to
avoid frequent lookups, however the cache allocation happens
only during clock registeration and later clk_set_parent()
assumes a cache space available and allocated.
This is not entirely true for platforms which do early clock
registerations wherein the cache allocation using kzalloc
could fail during clock registeration.
Allow cache allocation to happen later as part of clk_set_parent()
to help such cases and avoid crashes assuming a cache being
available.
While here also replace existing kmalloc() with kzalloc()
in the file.

Commit 2603efa31a03 ("bug.h: Fix up powerpc build regression") corrected
the powerpc build case and extended the __ASSEMBLY__ guards, but it also
got caught in pre-processor hell accidentally matching the else case of
CONFIG_BUG resulting in the BUG disabled case tripping up on
-Werror=implicit-function-declaration.
It's not possible to __ASSEMBLY__ guard the entire file as architecture
code needs to get at the BUGFLAG_WARNING definition in the GENERIC_BUG
case, but the rest of the CONFIG_BUG=y/n case needs to be guarded.
Rather than littering endless __ASSEMBLY__ checks in each of the if/else
cases we just move the BUGFLAG definitions up under their own
GENERIC_BUG test and then shove everything else under one big
__ASSEMBLY__ guard.
Build tested on all of x86 CONFIG_BUG=y, CONFIG_BUG=n, powerpc (due to
it's dependence on BUGFLAG definitions in assembly code), and sh (due to
not bringing in linux/kernel.h to satisfy the taint flag definitions used
by the generic bug code).
Hopefully that's the end of the corner cases and I can abstain from ever
having to touch this infernal header ever again.

IOMMU-aware dma_alloc_attrs() implementation allocates buffers in
power-of-two chunks to improve performance and take advantage of large
page mappings provided by some IOMMU hardware. However current code, due
to a subtle bug, allocated those chunks in the smallest-to-largest
order, what completely killed all the advantages of using larger than
page chunks. If a 4KiB chunk has been mapped as a first chunk, the
consecutive chunks are not aligned correctly to the power-of-two which
match their size and IOMMU drivers were not able to use internal
mappings of size other than the 4KiB (largest common denominator of
alignment and chunk size).
This patch fixes this issue by changing to the correct largest-to-smallest
chunk size allocation sequence.

This is a port of
commit b49f184b640dcfab7ede394cf2a1ff4fe3d154f5
Author: Ben Collins <bcollins@ubuntu.com>
from udlfb to udl kms driver.
The driver was not using le16_to_cpu when reading keys from the vendor
descriptor, causing incorrect parsing. Mainly, sku_pixel_limit was not
being parsed on big-endian systems. This would result in a blank screen
on big-endian CPUs where the DL chips's max mode was smaller than the
monitor's native mode.

The orion watchdog is expecting to be passed the physcial address of
the hardware, and will ioremap() it to give a virtual address it will
use as the base address for the hardware. However, when creating the
platform resource record, a virtual address was being used.
Add the necassary #define's so we can pass the physical address as
expected.

Commit 4d5fc58dbe34b78157c05b319669bb3e064ba8bd (ARM: remove bunch of
now unused mach/io.h files) removed the orion5x io.h. Unfortunately,
this is still needed for the definition of IO_SPACE_LIMIT which
overrides the default 64K. All Orion based systems have 1Mbyte of IO
space per PCI[e] bus, and try to request_resource() this size. Orion5x
has two such PCI buses.
It is likely that the original, removed version, was broken. This
version might be less broken. However, it has not been tested on
hardware with a PCI card, let alone hardware with a PCI card with IO
capabilities.

bug introduced with cea194d90b11aff7fc289149e4c7f305fad3535a
In the current TT code, when a TT_Response containing a full table is received
from an originator, first the node purges all the clients for that originator in
the global translation-table and then merges the newly received table.
During the purging phase each client deletion is done by means of a call_rcu()
invocation and at the end of this phase the global entry counter for that
originator is set to 0. However the invoked rcu function decreases the global
entry counter for that originator by one too and since the rcu invocation is
likely to be postponed, the node will end up in first setting the counter to 0
and then decreasing it one by one for each deleted client.
This bug leads to having a wrong global entry counter for the related node, say
X. Then when the node with the broken counter will answer to a TT_REQUEST on
behalf of node X, it will create faulty TT_RESPONSE that will generate an
unrecoverable situation on the node that asked for the full table recover.
The non-recoverability is given by the fact that the node with the broken
counter will keep answering on behalf of X because its knowledge about X's state
(ttvn + tt_crc) is correct.
To solve this problem the counter is not explicitly set to 0 anymore and the
counter decrement is performed right before the invocation of call_rcu().

Several bug reports have been received recently for USB mass-storage
devices that don't handle READ CAPACITY(16) commands properly. They
report bogus sizes, in some cases becoming unusable as a result.
The bugs were triggered by commit
09b6b51b0b6c1b9bb61815baf205e4d74c89ff04 (SCSI & usb-storage: add
flags for VPD pages and REPORT LUNS), which caused usb-storage to stop
overriding the SCSI level reported by devices. By default, the sd
driver will try READ CAPACITY(16) first for any device whose level is
above SCSI_SPC_2.
It seems likely that any device large enough to require the use of
READ CAPACITY(16) (i.e., 2 TB or more) would be able to handle READ
CAPACITY(10) commands properly. Indeed, I don't know of any devices
that don't handle READ CAPACITY(10) properly.
Therefore this patch (as1559) adds a new flag telling the sd driver
to try READ CAPACITY(10) before READ CAPACITY(16), and sets this flag
for every USB mass-storage device. If a device really is larger than
2 TB, sd will fall back to READ CAPACITY(16) just as it used to.
This fixes Bugzilla #43391.

commit id 79fba9f51755c704c0a7d7b7f0df10874dc0a744
If RMCR is not set, the controller will clear the EDRRR after it received
a frame. In this case, the driver doesn't need to fix the value of
cur_rx/dirty_rx. The driver only needs it when the controll detects
receive descriptors are empty.

The 8168evl (RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_34) based Gigabyte GA-990FXA motherboards
are very prone to NETDEV watchdog problems without this change. See
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42899 for instance.
I don't know why it *works*. It's depressingly effective though.
For the record:
- the problem may go along IOMMU (AMD-Vi) errors but it really looks
like a red herring.
- the patch sets the RX_MULTI_EN bit. If the 8168c doc is any guide,
the chipset now fetches several Rx descriptors at a time.
- long ago the driver ignored the RX_MULTI_EN bit.
e542a2269f232d61270ceddd42b73a4348dee2bb changed the RxConfig
settings. Whatever the problem it's now labeled a regression.
- Realtek's own driver can identify two different 8168evl devices
(CFG_METHOD_16 and CFG_METHOD_17) where the r8169 driver only
sees one. It sucks.
