Merge branch 'mlx4-aux-bus'

Petr Pavlu says:

====================
Convert mlx4 to use auxiliary bus

This series converts the mlx4 drivers to use auxiliary bus, similarly to
how mlx5 was converted [1]. The first 6 patches are preparatory changes,
the remaining 4 are the final conversion.

Initial motivation for this change was to address a problem related to
loading mlx4_en/mlx4_ib by mlx4_core using request_module_nowait(). When
doing such a load in initrd, the operation is asynchronous to any init
control and can get unexpectedly affected/interrupted by an eventual
root switch. Using an auxiliary bus leaves these module loads to udevd
which better integrates with systemd processing. [2]

General benefit is to get rid of custom interface logic and instead use
a common facility available for this task. An obvious risk is that some
new bug is introduced by the conversion.

Leon Romanovsky was kind enough to check for me that the series passes
their verification tests.

Changes since v2 [3]:
* Use 'void *' as the event param of mlx4_dispatch_event().

Changes since v1 [4]:
* Fix a missing definition of the err variable in mlx4_en_add().
* Remove not needed comments about the event type in mlx4_en_event()
and mlx4_ib_event().

mlx4: Register mlx4 devices to an auxiliary virtual bus

Add an auxiliary virtual bus to model the mlx4 driver structure. The
code is added along the current custom device management logic.
Subsequent patches switch mlx4_en and mlx4_ib to the auxiliary bus and
the old interface is then removed.

Structure mlx4_priv gains a new adev dynamic array to keep track of its
auxiliary devices. Access to the array is protected by the global
mlx4_intf mutex.

Functions mlx4_register_device() and mlx4_unregister_device() are
updated to expose auxiliary devices on the bus in order to load mlx4_en
and/or mlx4_ib. Functions mlx4_register_auxiliary_driver() and
mlx4_unregister_auxiliary_driver() are added to substitute
mlx4_register_interface() and mlx4_unregister_interface(), respectively.
Function mlx4_do_bond() is adjusted to walk over the adev array and
re-adds a specific auxiliary device if its driver sets the
MLX4_INTFF_BONDING flag.

ethernet: fix PTP_1588_CLOCK dependencies

The 'imply' keyword does not do what most people think it does, it only
politely asks Kconfig to turn on another symbol, but does not prevent
it from being disabled manually or built as a loadable module when the
user is built-in. In the ICE driver, the latter now causes a link failure:

aarch64-linux-ld: drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_main.o: in function `ice_eth_ioctl':
ice_main.c:(.text+0x13b0): undefined reference to `ice_ptp_get_ts_config'
ice_main.c:(.text+0x13b0): relocation truncated to fit: R_AARCH64_CALL26 against undefined symbol `ice_ptp_get_ts_config'
aarch64-linux-ld: ice_main.c:(.text+0x13bc): undefined reference to `ice_ptp_set_ts_config'
ice_main.c:(.text+0x13bc): relocation truncated to fit: R_AARCH64_CALL26 against undefined symbol `ice_ptp_set_ts_config'
aarch64-linux-ld: drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_main.o: in function `ice_prepare_for_reset':
ice_main.c:(.text+0x31fc): undefined reference to `ice_ptp_release'
ice_main.c:(.text+0x31fc): relocation truncated to fit: R_AARCH64_CALL26 against undefined symbol `ice_ptp_release'
aarch64-linux-ld: drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_main.o: in function `ice_rebuild':

This is a recurring problem in many drivers, and we have discussed
it several times befores, without reaching a consensus. I'm providing
a link to the previous email thread for reference, which discusses
some related problems.

To solve the dependency issue better than the 'imply' keyword, introduce a
separate Kconfig symbol "CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK_OPTIONAL" that any driver
can depend on if it is able to use PTP support when available, but works
fine without it. Whenever CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK=m, those drivers are
then prevented from being built-in, the same way as with a 'depends on
PTP_1588_CLOCK || !PTP_1588_CLOCK' dependency that does the same trick,
but that can be rather confusing when you first see it.

Since this should cover the dependencies correctly, the IS_REACHABLE()
hack in the header is no longer needed now, and can be turned back
into a normal IS_ENABLED() check. Any driver that gets the dependency
wrong will now cause a link time failure rather than being unable to use
PTP support when that is in a loadable module.

However, the two recently added ptp_get_vclocks_index() and
ptp_convert_timestamp() interfaces are only called from builtin code with
ethtool and socket timestamps, so keep the current behavior by stubbing
those out completely when PTP is in a loadable module. This should be
addressed properly in a follow-up.

As Richard suggested, we may want to actually turn PTP support into a
'bool' option later on, preventing it from being a loadable module
altogether, which would be one way to solve the problem with the ethtool
interface.
