The Devicetree standard specifies an 8 byte alignment of the FDT.
Code in libfdt expects this alignment for an FDT image in memory.

The new field 'dma_range_map' in struct device is used to facilitate the
use of single or multiple offsets between mapping regions of cpu addrs and
dma addrs. It subsumes the role of "dev->dma_pfn_offset" which was only
capable of holding a single uniform offset and had no region bounds
checking.
The function of_dma_get_range() has been modified so that it takes a single
argument -- the device node -- and returns a map, NULL, or an error code.
The map is an array that holds the information regarding the DMA regions.
Each range entry contains the address offset, the cpu_start address, the
dma_start address, and the size of the region.
of_dma_configure() is the typical manner to set range offsets but there are
a number of ad hoc assignments to "dev->dma_pfn_offset" in the kernel
driver code. These cases now invoke the function
dma_direct_set_offset(dev, cpu_addr, dma_addr, size).

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

The phandle cache was added to speed up of_find_node_by_phandle() by
avoiding walking the whole DT to find a matching phandle. The
implementation has several shortcomings:
- The cache is designed to work on a linear set of phandle values.
This is true for dtc generated DTs, but not for other cases such as
Power.
- The cache isn't enabled until of_core_init() and a typical system
may see hundreds of calls to of_find_node_by_phandle() before that
point.
- The cache is freed and re-allocated when the number of phandles
changes.
- It takes a raw spinlock around a memory allocation which breaks on
RT.
Change the implementation to a fixed size and use hash_32() as the
cache index. This greatly simplifies the implementation. It avoids
the need for any re-alloc of the cache and taking a reference on nodes
in the cache. We only have a single source of removing cache entries
which is of_detach_node().
Using hash_32() removes any assumption on phandle values improving
the hit rate for non-linear phandle values. The effect on linear values
using hash_32() is about a 10% collision. The chances of thrashing on
colliding values seems to be low.
To compare performance, I used a RK3399 board which is a pretty typical
system. I found that just measuring boot time as done previously is
noisy and may be impacted by other things. Also bringing up secondary
cores causes some issues with measuring, so I booted with 'nr_cpus=1'.
With no caching, calls to of_find_node_by_phandle() take about 20124 us
for 1248 calls. There's an additional 288 calls before time keeping is
up. Using the average time per hit/miss with the cache, we can calculate
these calls to take 690 us (277 hit / 11 miss) with a 128 entry cache
and 13319 us with no cache or an uninitialized cache.
Comparing the 3 implementations the time spent in
of_find_node_by_phandle() is:
no cache: 20124 us (+ 13319 us)
128 entry cache: 5134 us (+ 690 us)
current cache: 819 us (+ 13319 us)
We could move the allocation of the cache earlier to improve the
current cache, but that just further complicates the situation as it
needs to be after slab is up, so we can't do it when unflattening (which
uses memblock).

Create a cache of the nodes that contain a phandle property. Use this
cache to find the node for a given phandle value instead of scanning
the devicetree to find the node. If the phandle value is not found
in the cache, of_find_node_by_phandle() will fall back to the tree
scan algorithm.
The cache is initialized in of_core_init().
The cache is freed via a late_initcall_sync() if modules are not
enabled.
If the devicetree is created by the dtc compiler, with all phandle
property values auto generated, then the size required by the cache
could be 4 * (1 + number of phandles) bytes. This results in an O(1)
node lookup cost for a given phandle value. Due to a concern that the
phandle property values might not be consistent with what is generated
by the dtc compiler, a mask has been added to the cache lookup algorithm.
To maintain the O(1) node lookup cost, the size of the cache has been
increased by rounding the number of entries up to the next power of
two.
The overhead of finding the devicetree node containing a given phandle
value has been noted by several people in the recent past, in some cases
with a patch to add a hashed index of devicetree nodes, based on the
phandle value of the node. One concern with this approach is the extra
space added to each node. This patch takes advantage of the phandle
property values auto generated by the dtc compiler, which begin with
one and monotonically increase by one, resulting in a range of 1..n
for n phandle values. This implementation should also provide a good
reduction of overhead for any range of phandle values that are mostly
in a monotonic range.
Performance measurements by Chintan Pandya <cpandya@codeaurora.org>
of several implementations of patches that are similar to this one
suggest an expected reduction of boot time by ~400ms for his test
system. If the cache size was decreased to 64 entries, the boot
time was reduced by ~340 ms. The measurements were on a 4.9.73 kernel
for arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/sda670-mtp.dts, contains 2371 nodes and
814 phandle values.

The process of applying an overlay consists of:
- unflatten an overlay FDT (flattened device tree) into an
EDT (expanded device tree)
- fixup the phandle values in the overlay EDT to fit in a
range above the phandle values in the live device tree
- create the overlay changeset to reflect the contents of
the overlay EDT
- apply the overlay changeset, to modify the live device tree,
potentially changing the maximum phandle value in the live
device tree

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.

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

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

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.

In some situations, userspace may want to resolve a
device by function and logical number (ie, "serial0")
rather than by the base address or full device path. Being
able to resolve a device by alias frees userspace from the
burden of otherwise having to maintain a mapping between
device addresses and their logical assignments on each
platform when multiple instances of the same hardware block
are present in the system.
Although the uevent device attribute contains devicetree
