powerpc: Explicitly include correct DT includes

The DT of_device.h and of_platform.h date back to the separate
of_platform_bus_type before it as merged into the regular platform bus.
As part of that merge prepping Arm DT support 13 years ago, they
"temporarily" include each other. They also include platform_device.h
and of.h. As a result, there's a pretty much random mix of those include
files used throughout the tree. In order to detangle these headers and
replace the implicit includes with struct declarations, users need to
explicitly include the correct includes.

powerpc/legacy_serial: Handle SERIAL_8250_FSL=n build failures

With SERIAL_8250=y and SERIAL_8250_FSL_CONSOLE=n the both
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SERIAL_8250) and IS_REACHABLE(CONFIG_SERIAL_8250)
evaluate to true and so fsl8250_handle_irq() is used. However this
function is only available if CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE=y (and thus
SERIAL_8250_FSL=y).

To prepare SERIAL_8250_FSL becoming tristate and being enabled in more
cases, check for IS_REACHABLE(CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_FSL) before making use
of fsl8250_handle_irq(). This check is correct with and without the
change to make SERIAL_8250_FSL modular.

powerpc/legacy_serial: Warn about 8250 devices operated without active FSL workarounds

If the 8250 driver is built as a module (or built-in without console
support) the Freescale specific workaround were silently not activated.
Add a warning in this case.

Currently CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_FSL=y implies that the function
fsl8250_handle_irq() is built-in and can be used. However with the
changes of the next commit CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_FSL might be enabled also
when the 8250 driver is a module and so more care is needed when
fsl8250_handle_irq() is to be used. The code added here is able to
handle the new situation already.

tty/serial: Migrate 8250_fsl to use has_sysrq

The SUPPORT_SYSRQ ifdeffery is not nice as:
- May create misunderstanding about sizeof(struct uart_port) between
different objects
- Prevents moving functions from serial_core.h
- Reduces readability (well, it's ifdeffery - it's hard to follow)

In order to remove SUPPORT_SYSRQ, has_sysrq variable has been added.
Initialise it in driver's probe and remove ifdeffery.

In contrast to 8250/8250_of, legacy_serial on powerpc does fill
(struct plat_serial8250_port). The reason is likely that it's done on
device_initcall(), not on probe. So, 8250_core is not yet probed.

Propagate value from platform_device on 8250 probe - in case powepc
legacy driver it's initialized on initcall, in case 8250_of it will be
initialized later on of_platform_serial_setup().

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

powerpc: Remove all usages of NO_IRQ

NO_IRQ has been == 0 on powerpc for just over ten years (since commit
0ebfff1491ef ("[POWERPC] Add new interrupt mapping core and change
platforms to use it")). It's also 0 on most other arches.

Although it's fairly harmless, every now and then it causes confusion
when a driver is built on powerpc and another arch which doesn't define
NO_IRQ. There's at least 6 definitions of NO_IRQ in drivers/, at least
some of which are to work around that problem.

So we'd like to remove it. This is fairly trivial in the arch code, we
just convert:

if (irq == NO_IRQ) to if (!irq)
if (irq != NO_IRQ) to if (irq)
irq = NO_IRQ; to irq = 0;
return NO_IRQ; to return 0;

And a few other odd cases as well.

At least for now we keep the #define NO_IRQ, because there is driver
code that uses NO_IRQ and the fixes to remove those will go via other
trees.

Note we also change some occurrences in PPC sound drivers, drivers/ps3,
and drivers/macintosh.

we were missing UPF_SKIP_TEST for some kind of ISA ports which is
a problem as quite a few UARTs out there don't support the loopback
test (such as a lot of BMCs).

Let's pick the set of flags used by the SoC code and generalize it
which means autoconf, no loopback test, irq maybe shared and fixed
port.

powerpc/legacy_serial: Support MVME5100 UARTS with shifted registers

This patch adds support to legacy serial for
UARTS with shifted registers.

The MVME5100 Single Board Computer is a PowerPC platform
that has 16550 style UARTS with register addresses that are
16 bytes apart (shifted by 4).

Commit 309257484cc1a592e8ac5fbdd8cd661be2b80bf8
"powerpc: Cleanup udbg_16550 and add support for LPC PIO-only UARTs"
added support to udbg_16550 for shifted registers by adding a "stride"
parameter to the initialisation operations for Programmed IO and
Memory Mapped IO.

As a consequence it is now possible to use the services of legacy serial
to provide early serial console messages for the MVME5100.

An added benefit of this is that the serial console will always be
"ttyS0" irrespective of whether the computer is fitted with extra
PCI 8250 interface boards or not.

I have tested this patch using the four PowerPC platforms available to me:

MVME5100 - shifted registers,
SAM440EP - unshifted registers,
MPC8349 - unshifted registers,
MVME4100 - unshifted registers.

powerpc: Cleanup udbg_16550 and add support for LPC PIO-only UARTs

The udbg_16550 code, which we use for our early consoles and debug
backends was fairly messy. Especially for the debug consoles, it
would re-implement the "high level" getc/putc/poll functions for
each access method. It also had code to configure the UART but only
for the straight MMIO method.

This changes it to instead abstract at the register accessor level,
and have the various functions and configuration routines use these.

The result is simpler and slightly smaller code, and free support
for non-MMIO mapped PIO UARTs, which such as the ones that can be
present on a POWER 8 LPC bus.
