misc: Remove old APDS990x driver

The APDS990x driver in misc lacks DeviceTree support, and no mainline
pre-DT board files configured this device using apds990x_platform_data.

This driver belongs to a legacy group of ambient light sensor drivers in
drivers/misc/ that predates the migration to DT and the standard IIO ABI.

Since the Avago APDS9900/9901 ALS/Proximity sensor is now supported by
the tsl2772 IIO driver and there are no active users in the kernel tree,
remove this old implementation.

misc: rp1: RaspberryPi RP1 misc driver

The RaspberryPi RP1 is a PCI multi function device containing
peripherals ranging from Ethernet to USB controller, I2C, SPI
and others.

Implement a bare minimum driver to operate the RP1, leveraging
actual OF based driver implementations for the on-board peripherals
by loading a devicetree overlay during driver probe if the RP1
node is not already present in the DT.

The peripherals are accessed by mapping MMIO registers starting
from PCI BAR1 region.

With the overlay approach we can achieve more generic and agnostic
approach to managing this chipset, being that it is a PCI endpoint
and could possibly be reused in other hw implementations. The
presented approach is also used by Bootlin's Microchip LAN966x
patchset (see link) as well, for a similar chipset.
In this case, the inclusion tree for the DT overlay is as follow
(the arrow points to the includer):

rp1-pci.dtso <---- rp1-common.dtsi

On the other hand, to ensure compatibility with downstream, this
driver can also work with a DT already comprising the RP1 node, so
the dynamically loaded overlay will not be used if the DT is already
fully defined.

The reason why this driver is contained in drivers/misc has
been paved by Bootlin's LAN966X driver, which first used the
overlay approach to implement non discoverable peripherals behind a
PCI bus. For RP1, the same arguments apply: it's not used as an SoC
since the driver code is not running on-chip and is not like an MFD
since it does not really need all the MFD infrastructure (shared regs,
etc.). So, for this particular use, misc has been proposed and deemed
as a good choice. For further details about that please check the links.

This driver is heavily based on downstream code from RaspberryPi
Foundation, and the original author is Phil Elwell.

'echo' is a software echo canceller for telco use, however
it's not used in the kernel at all.

Remove it.

It was moved from staging in 2014 by
commit Fixes: 6e2055a9e56e ("staging: echo: move to drivers/misc/")

Some discussion on lkml:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/Z7tZhYET41DAoHVf@gallifrey/
with Arnd and Harald, led to the 'dahdi' package which is part of
Asterisk:

https://gitea.osmocom.org/retronetworking/dahdi-linux

which can build with the 'echo' module, but is normally configured
with out it.
Dahdi is large, old, only lightly maintained and with a big API, so
there's no hope now of ever merging it into the main kernel tree.

Debian do package Dahdi, and in their package they actually include
a copy of the 'echo' module rather than using the kernel from the
upstream kernel. So even in the few cases where it is packaged
and built, the kernel copy isn't used.

merge window hopefully we will have pci and platform drivers
working, which will fully enable almost all driver subsystems to

- Interconnect driver updates

- nvmem driver updates

- pwm driver updates

- platform_driver::remove() fixups, loads of them

- counter driver updates

Add a PCI driver that handles the LAN966x PCI device using a device-tree

The memory from the device-tree is remapped to the BAR memory thanks to
"ranges" properties computed at runtime by the PCI core during the PCI
enumeration.

The PCI device itself acts as an interrupt controller and is used as the
parent of the internal LAN966x interrupt controller to route the
interrupts to the assigned PCI INTx interrupt.

rpmb: add Replay Protected Memory Block (RPMB) subsystem

A number of storage technologies support a specialised hardware
partition designed to be resistant to replay attacks. The underlying
HW protocols differ but the operations are common. The RPMB partition
cannot be accessed via standard block layer, but by a set of specific
RPMB commands. Such a partition provides authenticated and replay
protected access, hence suitable as a secure storage.

The initial aim of this patch is to provide a simple RPMB driver
interface which can be accessed by the optee driver to facilitate early
RPMB access to OP-TEE OS (secure OS) during the boot time.

A TEE device driver can claim the RPMB interface, for example, via
rpmb_interface_register() or rpmb_dev_find_device(). The RPMB driver
provides a callback to route RPMB frames to the RPMB device accessible
via rpmb_route_frames().

The detailed operation of implementing the access is left to the TEE
device driver itself.

At the hardware level, the DPI physical function (PF) acts as a management

Currently 3 variants of this device exists. Every variant has its own

cores. In this first version only the auxiliary device for the I2C
controller is registered.

Besides the auxiliary device registration some other basic functions of

configuration on reset sysfs file, error message for errors on the
internal AXI bus of the FPGA.

habanalabs: move driver to accel subsystem

Now that we have a subsystem for compute accelerators, move the
habanalabs driver to it.

This patch only moves the files and fixes the Makefiles. Future
patches will change the existing code to register to the accel
subsystem and expose the accel device char files instead of the
habanalabs device char files.

Update the MAINTAINERS file to reflect this change.

drivers: misc: Add Support for TMR Inject IP

The Triple Modular Redundancy(TMR) provides functional fault injection by
changing selected MicroBlaze instructions, which provides the possibility
to verify that the TMR subsystem error detection and fault recovery logic
is working properly.

Usage:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/xtmr_inject/inject_fault/inject_fault

drivers: misc: Add Support for TMR Manager

Triple Modular Redundancy(TMR) subsystem contains three microblaze cores,
subsystem is fault-tolerant and continues to operate nominally after
encountering an error. Together with the capability to detect and recover
from errors, the implementation ensures the reliability of the entire
subsystem. TMR Manager is responsible for performing recovery of the
subsystem detects the fault via a break signal it invokes microblaze
software break handler which calls the tmr manager driver api to
update the error count and status, added support for fault detection
feature via sysfs interface.

Usage:
To know the break handler count(Error count):
cat /sys/devices/platform/amba_pl/44a10000.tmr_manager/errcnt
