determine if the view is rotated or not (since width/height

This codec driver depended on the legacy GPIO API, and nothing
in the kernel is defining the platform data, so get rid of this.
Two in-kernel device trees are defining this codec using
undocumented device tree properties, so support these for now.
The same properties can be defined using software nodes if board
files are desired. The device tree use the "-gpio" rather than
"-gpios" suffix but the GPIO DT parser will deal with that.
Since there may be out of tree users, migrate to GPIO descriptors,
drop the platform data that is unused, and assign the dac_clk the
value that was used in all platforms found in a historical dig,
and support setting the clock to the PLL using the undocumented
device tree property.
Add some menuconfig so the codec can be selected and tested.

Please note that stateless packet inspection, matching, ipsets or
logging support for IPPROTO_UDPLITE is preserved.
As conntrack no longer extracts UDP-Lite ports or tracks its L4 state,
when performing NAT the UDP-Lite checksum cannot be updated anymore.

hvc/xen: Check console connection flag
When the console out buffer is filled, __write_console() will return 0
as it cannot send any data. domU_write_console() will then spin in
`while (len)` as len doesn't decrement until xenconsoled attaches. This
would block a domU and nullify the parallelism of Hyperlaunch until dom0
userspace starts xenconsoled, which empties the buffer.
Xen 4.21 added a connection field to the xen console page. This is set
to XENCONSOLE_DISCONNECTED (1) when a domain is built, and xenconsoled
will set it to XENCONSOLE_CONNECTED (0) when it connects.
Update the hvc_xen driver to check the field. When the field is
disconnected, drop the write with -ENOTCONN. We only drop the write
when the field is XENCONSOLE_DISCONNECTED (1) to try for maximum
compatibility. The Xen toolstack has historically zero initialized the
console, so it should see XENCONSOLE_CONNECTED (0) by default. If an
implemenation used uninitialized memory, only checking for
XENCONSOLE_DISCONNECTED could have the lowest chance of not connecting.
This lets the hyperlaunched domU boot without stalling. Once dom0
starts xenconsoled, xl console can be used to access the domU's hvc0.
Paritally sync console.h from xen.git to bring in the new field.

If sysrq watch registration fails, or xenbus_printf() fails after one or
more feature nodes were created, the function returns immediately without
undoing the earlier setup.
This leaves the system in a partially initialized state, with registered
watches and/or stale xenstore entries despite the function reporting
failure.

watches that were already registered and removing feature nodes that were
already published.

We address the lock up issue first. The queue timeouts are due to

====================
The bcmgenet_timeout handler tries to take down all tx queues when
a single queue times out. This is over zealous and causes many race
conditions with queues that are still chugging along. Instead lets
only restart the timed out queue.
While reclaiming the tx queue we fast forward the write pointer to
drop any data in flight. These dropped frames are not added back
to the pool of free bds. We also need to tell the netdev that we
are dropping said data.

macsec: Add support for VLAN filtering in offload mode
This short series adds support for VLANs in MACsec devices when offload
mode is enabled. This allows VLAN netdevs on top of MACsec netdevs to
function, which accidentally used to be the case in the past, but was
broken. This series adds back proper support.
As part of this, the existing nsim-only MACsec offload tests were
translated to Python so they can run against real HW and new
traffic-based tests were added for VLAN filter propagation, since
there's currently no uAPI to check VLAN filters.
====================
VLAN-filtering is done through two netdev features
(NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_CTAG_FILTER and NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_STAG_FILTER) and two
netdev ops (ndo_vlan_rx_add_vid and ndo_vlan_rx_kill_vid).
Implement these and advertise the features if the lower device supports
them. This allows proper VLAN filtering to work on top of MACsec
devices, when the lower device is capable of VLAN filtering.
As a concrete example, having this chain of interfaces now works:
vlan_filtering_capable_dev(1) -> macsec_dev(2) -> macsec_vlan_dev(3)
Before the mentioned commit this used to accidentally work because the
MACsec device (and thus the lower device) was put in promiscuous mode
and the VLAN filter was not used. But after commit [1] correctly made
the macsec driver expose the IFF_UNICAST_FLT flag, promiscuous mode was
no longer used and VLAN filters on dev 1 kicked in. Without support in
dev 2 for propagating VLAN filters down, the register_vlan_dev ->
vlan_vid_add -> __vlan_vid_add -> vlan_add_rx_filter_info call from dev
3 is silently eaten (because vlan_hw_filter_capable returns false and
vlan_add_rx_filter_info silently succeeds).
For MACsec, VLAN filters are only relevant for offload, otherwise
the VLANs are encrypted and the lower devices don't care about them. So
VLAN filters are only passed on to lower devices in offload mode.
Flipping between offload modes now needs to offload/unoffload the
filters with vlan_{get,drop}_rx_*_filter_info().
To avoid the back-and-forth filter updating during rollback, the setting
of macsec->offload is moved after the add/del secy ops. This is safe
since none of the code called from those requires macsec->offload.
In case adding the filters fails, the added ones are rolled back and an
error is returned to the operation toggling the offload state.
selftests: Add MACsec VLAN propagation traffic test
Add VLAN filter propagation tests through offloaded MACsec devices via
actual traffic.
The tests create MACsec tunnels with matching SAs on both endpoints,
stack VLANs on top, and verify connectivity with ping. Covered:
- Offloaded MACsec with VLAN (filters propagate to HW)
- Software MACsec with VLAN (no HW filter propagation)
- Offload on/off toggle and verifying traffic still works
On netdevsim this makes use of the VLAN filter debugfs file to actually
validate that filters are applied/removed correctly.
On real hardware the traffic should validate actual VLAN filter
propagation.
selftests: Migrate nsim-only MACsec tests to Python
Move MACsec offload API and ethtool feature tests from
tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/netdevsim/macsec-offload.sh to
tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/macsec.py using the NetDrvEnv
framework so tests can run against both netdevsim (default) and real
hardware (NETIF=ethX). As some real hardware requires MACsec to use
encryption, add that to the tests.
Netdevsim-specific limit checks (max SecY, max RX SC) were moved into
separate test cases to avoid failures on real hardware.
IFA_F_PERMANENT addresses require the allocation of a bunch of percpu
pointers, currently in atomic scope.
Similar to commit 51454ea42c1a ("ipv6: fix locking issues with loops
over idev->addr_list"), move fixup_permanent_addr() outside the
&idev->lock scope, and do the allocations with GFP_KERNEL. With such
change fixup_permanent_addr() is invoked with the BH enabled, and the
ifp lock acquired there needs the BH variant.
Note that we don't need to acquire a reference to the permanent
addresses before releasing the mentioned write lock, because
addrconf_permanent_addr() runs under RTNL and ifa removal always happens
under RTNL, too.
Also the PERMANENT flag is constant in the relevant scope, as it can be
cleared only by inet6_addr_modify() under the RTNL lock.

The formats for non-terminated names should be "%.*s" not "%*.s".
The kernel currently treats "%*.s" as equivalent to "%*s" whereas
userspace requires it be equivalent to "%*.0s".
Neither is correct here.

ext4: move dcache manipulation out of __ext4_link()
__ext4_link() has two callers.
- ext4_link() calls it during normal handling of the link() system
call or similar
- ext4_fc_replay_link_internal() calls it when replaying the journal
at mount time.
The former needs changes to dcache - instantiating the dentry to the
inode on success. The latter doesn't need or want any dcache
manipulation.
So move the manipulation out of __ext4_link() and do it in ext4_link()
only.
This requires:
- passing the qname from the dentry explicitly to __ext4_link.
The parent dir is already passed. The dentry is still passed
in the ext4_link() case purely for use by ext4_fc_track_link().
- passing the inode separately to ext4_fc_track_link() as the
dentry will not be instantiated yet.
- using __ext4_add_entry() in ext4_link, which doesn't need a dentry.
- moving ihold(), d_instantiate(), drop_nlink() and iput() calls out
of __ext4_link() into ext4_link().
Note that ext4_inc_count() and drop_nlink() remain in __ext4_link()
as both callers need them and they are not related to the dentry.
This substantially simplifies ext4_fc_replay_link_internal(), and
removes a use of d_alloc() which, it is planned, will be removed.
