[PATCH v4 0/4] Prepare for constifying SCSI host templates

[Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@acm.org>]

Hi Martin,

This patch series prepares for constifying SCSI host templates by moving the
members that are not constant out of the SCSI host template. Please consider
this patch series for the next merge window.

Thanks,

Bart.

Changes compared to v3:
- Changed the 'present' counter from 8 to 32 bits.
- Fixed a bug in an error path (reported by John Garry).
- Changed EXPORT_SYMBOL() into EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().
- Split patch 1/3 into two patches.

Changes compared to v2:
- Optimized the show_info == NULL case.
- Added a patch that removes the code that clears the module pointer in the host
  template.

Changes compared to v1:
- Fix the CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS=n build.

Bart Van Assche (4):
  scsi: esas2r: Initialize two host template members implicitly
  scsi: esas2r: Introduce scsi_template_proc_dir()
  scsi: core: Introduce a new list for SCSI proc directory entries
  scsi: core: Rework the code for dropping the LLD module reference
