Subject: [PATCH v9 0/3] devres: provide and use devm_krealloc()

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski@...libre.com>

Regular krealloc() obviously can't work with managed memory. This series
implements devm_krealloc() and adds two first users with hope that this
helper will be adopted by other drivers currently using non-managed
krealloc().

v1 -> v2:
- remove leftover call to hwmon_device_unregister() from pmbus_core.c
- add a patch extending devm_kmalloc() to handle zero size case
- use WARN_ON() instead of WARN_ONCE() in devm_krealloc() when passed
  a pointer to non-managed memory
- correctly handle the case when devm_krealloc() is passed a pointer to
  memory in .rodata (potentially returned by devm_kstrdup_const())
- correctly handle ZERO_SIZE_PTR passed as the ptr argument in devm_krealloc()

v2 -> v3:
- drop already applied patches
- collect Acks
- add an additional user in iio

v3 -> v4:
- add the kerneldoc for devm_krealloc()
- WARN() outside of spinlock
- rename local variable

v4 -> v5:
- tweak the kerneldoc

v5 -> v6:
- tweak the devres_lock handling in devm_krealloc()

v6 -> v7:
- rework devm_krealloc() to avoid calling krealloc() with spinlock taken

v7 -> v8:
- drop unnecessary explicit pointer casting in to_devres()
- check the return value of ksize() to make sure the pointer actually
  points to a dynamically allocated chunk
- add more comments to explain the locking strategy and resource handling

v8 -> v9:
- use container_of() and offsetoff() instead of manual offset calculations
- use kfree() instead of devres_free() in error path as the latter expects
  the pointer to devres data, not devres node

Bartosz Golaszewski (3):
  devres: provide devm_krealloc()
  hwmon: pmbus: use more devres helpers
  iio: adc: xilinx-xadc: use devm_krealloc()
