mainlining shenanigans

Add a new macro helper to combine the usual init sequence in drivers, consisting of a kzalloc + devm_drm_dev_init + drmm_add_final_kfree triplet. This allows us to remove the rather unsightly drmm_add_final_kfree from all currently merged drivers. The kerneldoc is only added for this new function. Existing kerneldoc and examples will be udated at the very end, since once all drivers are converted over to devm_drm_dev_alloc we can unexport a lot of interim functions and make the documentation for driver authors a lot cleaner and less confusing. There will be only one true way to initialize a drm_device at the end of this, which is going to be devm_drm_dev_alloc. v2: - Actually explain what this is for in the commit message (Sam) - Fix checkpatch issues (Sam) Acked-by: Noralf Trønnes <noralf@tronnes.org> Cc: Noralf Trønnes <noralf@tronnes.org> Reviewed-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Paul Kocialkowski <paul.kocialkowski@bootlin.com> Cc: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20200415074034.175360-2-daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
