[PATCH v2 00/12] notifier: add device-managed registration APIs and convert drivers

[Eliav Farber]

Many drivers repeat the same boilerplate when registering notifiers with
device lifetime:

  1. Register the notifier with *_notifier_chain_register()
  2. Check for error
  3. Register a devm action to unregister on teardown
  4. Implement a per-driver static unregister callback

This series adds devm_atomic_notifier_chain_register(),
devm_blocking_notifier_chain_register(), and
devm_raw_notifier_chain_register() that automatically unregister the
notifier when the device is unbound, then converts 11 drivers to use
them.

Each conversion eliminates a per-driver unregister callback and the
associated devm_add_action_or_reset() call, reducing code by ~15 lines
per driver.

The implementation follows the established devres pattern used by other
device-managed kernel APIs.

Changes in v2:
- Patch 1: drop 'extern' from new function prototypes (Bart Van Assche)
- Patch 1: fix kerneldoc to use 'Return:' format (Bart Van Assche)
- Patch 1: use <linux/device/devres.h> instead of <linux/device.h>
  (Andy Shevchenko)
- Patch 8: also remove unused ghes_register_vendor_record_notifier() and
  ghes_unregister_vendor_record_notifier() along with their exports and
  ghes.h declarations (Jonathan Cameron)
