[PATCH v2 1/6] software node: Free resources explicitly when swnode_register() fails

[PATCH v2 1/6] software node: Free resources explicitly when swnode_register() fails

[Andy Shevchenko]

Currently we have a slightly twisted logic in swnode_register().
It frees resources that it doesn't allocate on error path and
in once case it relies on the ->release() implementation.

Untwist the logic by freeing resources explicitly when swnode_register()
fails. Currently it happens only in fwnode_create_software_node().

[PATCH v2 2/6] software node: Introduce software_node_alloc()/software_node_free()

[Andy Shevchenko]

Introduce software_node_alloc() and software_node_free() helpers.
This will help with code readability and maintenance.

[PATCH v2 3/6] software node: Deduplicate code in fwnode_create_software_node()

[Andy Shevchenko]

Deduplicate conditional and assignment in fwnode_create_software_node(),
i.e. parent is checked in two out of three cases and parent software node
is assigned by to_swnode() call.

[PATCH v2 4/6] software node: Imply kobj_to_swnode() to be no-op

[Andy Shevchenko]

Since we don't use structure field layout randomization
the manual shuffling can affect some macros, in particular
kobj_to_swnode(), which becomes a no-op when kobj member
is the first one in the struct swnode.

Bloat-o-meter statistics for swnode.o:

  add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 2/10 up/down: 9/-100 (-91)

What are the .args intended to be used for? I actually had it in mind to
replace this with a simple pointer to a struct software_node, because I
can't see any users of them and the fact that it's actually storing a
pointer to a new variable is something that confused me for a good long
time when I wrote the cio2-bridge (though that's mostly due to my
relative inexperience of course, but still)

It's to be in align with DT phandle references that can take arguments. While
for now, indeed, we have no users of this, it might be changed in the future
