Here is the big set of new char/misc driver drivers and features for
4.12-rc1.
There's lots of new drivers added this time around, new firmware drivers
from Google, more auxdisplay drivers, extcon drivers, fpga drivers, and
a bunch of other driver updates. Nothing major, except if you happen to
have the hardware for these drivers, and then you will be happy :)
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues.

This patch introduces the Google Vital Product Data driver.
This driver reads Vital Product Data from coreboot tables and then
creates the corresponding sysfs entries under /sys/firmware/vpd to
provide easy access for userspace programs (does not require flashrom).
The sysfs is structured as follow:
/sys/firmware/vpd
|-- ro
| |-- key1
| `-- key2
|-- ro_raw
|-- rw
| `-- key1
`-- rw_raw
Where ro_raw and rw_raw contain the raw VPD partition. The files under
ro and rw correspond to the key name in the VPD and the the file content
is the value for the key.

This patch imports lib_vpd.h and vpd_decode.c from the Chromium Vital
Product Data project.
This library is used to parse VPD sections obtained from coreboot table
entries describing Chromebook devices product data. Only the sections of
type VPD_TYPE_STRING are decoded.
The VPD string sections in the coreboot tables contain the type (1 byte
set to 0x01 for strings), the key length, the key ascii array, the value
length, and the value ascii array. The key and value arrays are not null
terminated.

This patch expands the Google firmware memory console driver to also
work on certain tree based platforms running coreboot, such as ARM/ARM64
Chromebooks. This patch now adds another path to find the coreboot table
through the device tree. In order to find that, a second level
bootloader must have installed the 'coreboot' compatible device tree
node that describes its base address and size.

Coreboot (http://www.coreboot.org) allows to save the firmware console
output in a memory buffer. With this patch, the address of this memory
buffer is obtained from coreboot tables on x86 chromebook devices
declaring an ACPI device with name matching GOOGCB00 or BOOT0000.
If the memconsole-coreboot driver is able to find the coreboot table,
the memconsole driver sets the cbmem_console address and initializes the
memconsole sysfs entries.
The coreboot_table-acpi driver is responsible for setting the address of
the coreboot table header when probed. If this address is not yet set
when memconsole-coreboot is probed, then the probe is deferred by
returning -EPROBE_DEFER.

The google memconsole driver is currently broken upstream, as it tries
to read memory that is described as reserved in /proc/iomem, by
dereferencing a pointer obtained through phys_to_virt(). This triggers
a kernel fault as such regions are unmapped after early boot.
The proper workaround is to use ioremap_cache() / iounmap() around such
accesses.
As some unrelated changes, I also converted some printks to use pr_info()
and added some missing __init annotations.
Tested: booted dbg build, verified I could read /sys/firmware/log

Starting in commit e14ab23dde,
efivars_sysfs_init() is called both by itself as an init function,
and by drivers/firmware/google/gsmi.c gsmi_init().
This results in runtime warnings such as the following:
[ 5.651330] WARNING: at fs/sysfs/dir.c:530 sysfs_add_one+0xbd/0xe0()
[ 5.657699] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/firmware/gsmi/vars'
Fixing this by removing the redundant efivars_sysfs_init() call in
gsmi_init().
Tested: booted, checked that /firmware/gsmi/vars was still present and
showed the expected contents.

The GOOGLE_SMI Kconfig symbol depends on DMI and selects EFI. This
causes problems on other archs when introducing DMI support that depends
on EFI, as it results in a recursive dependency:
arch/arm/Kconfig:1845:error: recursive dependency detected!
arch/arm/Kconfig:1845: symbol DMI depends on EFI
Fix by changing the 'select EFI' to a 'depends on EFI'.

There isn't really a formal interface for dealing with EFI variables
or struct efivar_entry. Historically, this has led to various bits of
code directly accessing the generic EFI variable ops, which inherently
ties it to specific EFI variable operations instead of indirectly
using whatever ops were registered with register_efivars(). This lead
to the efivarfs code only working with the generic EFI variable ops
and not CONFIG_GOOGLE_SMI.
Encapsulate everything that needs to access '__efivars' inside an
efivar_entry_* API and use the new API in the pstore, sysfs and
efivarfs code.
Much of the efivars code had to be rewritten to use this new API. For
instance, it is now up to the users of the API to build the initial
list of EFI variables in their efivar_init() callback function. The
variable list needs to be passed to efivar_init() which allows us to
keep work arounds for things like implementation bugs in
GetNextVariable() in a central location.
Allowing users of the API to use a callback function to build the list
greatly benefits the efivarfs code which needs to allocate inodes and
dentries for every variable. It previously did this in a racy way
because the code ran without holding the variable spinlock. Both the
sysfs and efivarfs code maintain their own lists which means the two
interfaces can be running simultaneously without interference, though
it should be noted that because no synchronisation is performed it is
very easy to create inconsistencies. efibootmgr doesn't currently use
efivarfs and users are likely to also require the old sysfs interface,
so it makes sense to allow both to be built.

This patch introduces the 'memconsole' driver.
Our firmware gives us access to an in-memory log of the firmware's
output. This gives us visibility in a data-center of headless machines
as to what the firmware is doing.
The memory console is found by the driver by finding a header block in
the EBDA. The buffer is then copied out, and is exported to userland in
the file /sys/firmware/log.

The "gsmi" driver bridges userland with firmware specific routines for
accessing hardware.
Currently, this driver only supports NVRAM and eventlog information.
Deprecated functions have been removed from the driver, though their
op-codes are left in place so that they are not re-used.
This driver works by trampolining into the firmware via the smi_command
outlined in the FADT table. Three protocols are used due to various
limitations over time, but all are included herein.
This driver should only ever load on Google boards, identified by either
a "Google, Inc." board vendor string in DMI, or "GOOGLE" in the OEM
strings of the FADT ACPI table. This logic happens in
gsmi_system_valid().
