Now that the SPDX tag is in all comedi files, that identifies the
license in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text
wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all.
This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in
the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff
like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never
needed.
No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to
audit the kernel tree for correct licenses.
Update the drivers/staging/comedi files files with the correct SPDX
license identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The
SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used
instead of the full boiler plate text.
This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe
Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

My static checker found some slightly inaccurate format codes in printf
calls in comedi_fops.c and drivers/comedi_bond.c. It may be slightly
pedantic to change them, but using the correctly corresponding format
codes is probably a good idea. All but one were unsigned ints that were
formatted with %i, change these to %u, and one was an int formatted with
%u, we want to format this with %d.

The board name for "comedi_bond" is constructed from a space-separated
list of items of the form "minor:subdevice" where "minor" is a minor
device number and "subdevice" is a subdevice number. Currently, all the
"minor" device numbers are for the "comedi_bond" device itself and the
"subdevice" numbers are for the bonded devices. It makes makes more
sense for the "minor" device numbers to come from the bonded devices as
well so that the string is a list of bonded "minor:subdevice" pairs.
Fix it.

`do_dev_config()` is called from the comedi 'attach' handler,
`bonding_attach()`. The device private data structure contains a
dynamically allocated array of pointers to "bonded" device structures
which grows during the `do_dev_config()` call. The length of this array
is in `devpriv->ndevs`. It currently uses a local function `realloc()`
to allocate a new array, copy the old contents over and free the old
array. It should be more efficient to use `krealloc()` as it may be
able to use slack space at the end of the previous array and avoid a
copy.
The old `realloc()` function always freed the old buffer which meant
that if it failed to allocate the new buffer it would lose the contents
of the old buffer. Unfortunately, that contained pointers to more
dynamically allocated memory, leading to a memory leak. If `krealloc()`
fails, keep the old buffer and avoid the memory leak. The
aforementioned pointers to more dynamically allocated memory will be
cleaned up by the 'detach' handler, `bonding_detach()` which will be
called by the comedi core as a consequence of `krealloc()` failing in
`do_dev_config()`.

If a DIO subdevice has more than 32 channels, its 'insn_bits' handler is
supposed to take account of the base channel from
`CR_CHAN(insn->chanspec)`. (The comedi core will adjust the base
channel to 0 and shift the mask and data to compensate if the subdevice
has less than or equal to 32 channels.) The "comedi_bond" driver
currently ignores the base channel and assumes it is 0.
Replace `comedi_dio_bitfield()` in the "kcomedilib" module with
`comedi_dio_bitfield2()` that takes account of the base channel, and
rewrite the "comedi_bond" driver's 'insn_bits' handler
(`bonding_dio_insn_bits()`) to take account of the base channel and use
the new function.
No other modules use `comedi_dio_bitfield()` so it is safe to replace it
with `comedi_dio_bitfield2()`. The name follows that of the equivalent
function in the user-space comedilib. If the base channel is non-zero
and the subdevice has less than or equal to 32 channels it needs to
adjust things in the same way as the comedi core (same as `parse_insn()`
in "comedi_fops.c") due to most drivers ignoring the base channel.

The DIO subdevice of the "comedi_bond" device attempts to remember the
directions of DIO channels itself in the `io_bits` member of the
subdevice, but that is only large enough for the first 32 channels and
it might not be accurate anyway as changing the direction of one channel
may have affected a whole group of channels and we have no idea of the
initial directions before the "bonded" device was linked to the the
"comedi_bond" device. It would be better to ask the bonded device for
this information when handling a `INSN_CONFIG_DIO_QUERY` configuration
instruction. Add new function `comedi_dio_get_config()` to the
"kcomedilib" module to allow us to get the DIO direction of a channel
and use it.

The private data structure (`struct comedi_bond_private`) for the
overall "comedi_bond" device maps each channel individually to a pointer
to the `struct bonded_device` it belongs to via array member
`chan_id_dev_map[MAX_CHANS]`. This speeds up look-ups from channel
number to bonded device a bit, but the length of the array used to look
this up is currently fixed at `MAX_CHANS` (256) and there are no
overflow checks when filling the array.
In practice, there will only be a few bonded devices (actually bonded
subdevices) and it is practical to just skip through the list until we
reach the one containing the desired channel.
The only place where the bonded device is looked up from the channel
number is in `bonding_dio_insn_config()`. Change it to do the look-up
by skipping through the list of bonded devices and remove the
`chan_id_dev_map[]` member. The `chanid_offset` member of `struct
bonded_device` is also no longer needed as the value can be derived
while skipping through the list of bonded devices, so remove that member
as well.

`do_dev_config()` currently records the comedi minor devices it has
opened by setting `devs_opened[minor]` to the pointer returned by
`comedi_open()`. This is checked to avoid opening the same minor device
twice. The pointer values in `devs_opened[]` aren't needed; we only
need to record which minor device numbers are being used. Change
`devs_opened` to a bitmap (declared with `DECLARE_BITMAP()`) of length
`COMEDI_NUM_BOARD_MINORS` as the minor device numbers are range-checked
to fit in a bitmap of this length. Use `test_and_set_bit()` to record
the minor device numbers we attempt to open with `comedi_open()`.
`bonding_detach()` calls `comedi_close()` to close the comedi minor
devices. Since the minor device numbers may be repeated in its list of
bonded subdevices, it currently uses a simple `unsigned long
devs_closed` variable as a bitmap to keep track of which minor device
numbers it has already closed to avoid closing them twice. As a single
`unsigned long` consists of less than `COMEDI_NUM_BOARD_MINORS` bits on
a 32-bit machine, change `devs_closed to a bitmap of this length using
`DECLARE_BITMAP()` and use `test_and_set_bit()` to avoid calling
`comedi_close()` more than once for each minor device number in use.

1. Change the return type from int to void
All the detach functions, except for the comedi usb drivers, simply
return success (0). Plus, the return code is never checked in the
comedi core.
The comedi usb drivers do return error codes but the conditions can
never happen.
The first check is:
if (!dev)
return -EFAULT;
This checks that the passed comedi_device pointer is valid. The detach
function itself is called using this pointer so it MUST always be valid
or there is a bug in the core:
if (dev->driver)
dev->driver->detach(dev);
And the second check:
usb = dev->private;
if (!usb)
return -EFAULT;
The dev->private pointer is setup in the attach function to point to the
probed usb device. This value could be NULL if the attach fails. But,
since the comedi core is going to unload the driver anyway and does not
check for errors there is no gain by returning one.
After removing these checks from the comedi usb drivers the detach
functions required a bit of cleanup.
2. Remove all the printk noise in the detach functions
All of the printk output is really just noise. The user did a rmmod to
unload the driver, we really don't need to tell them about it.
Also, some of the messages are output using:
dev_dbg(dev->hw_dev, ...
or
dev_info(dev->hw_dev, ...
Unfortunately the hw_dev value is only used by drivers that are doing
DMA. For most drivers this variable is going to be NULL so the output
is not going to work as expected.
3. Refactor a couple static 'free_resource' functions into the detach
functions.
The 'free_resource' function is only being called by the detach and it
makes more sense to just absorb the code.
4. Remove a couple unnecessary braces for single statements.
5. Remove unnecessary comments.
Most of the comedi drivers appear to be based on the comedi skel driver
and have the comments from that driver included. These comments make
sense in the skel driver for reference but they don't need to be in any
of the actual drivers.
6. Remove all the extra whitespace.
It's not needed to make the functions any more readable.
7. Remove the now unused 'attached_successfully' variable in the
cb_pcimdda driver.
This variable was only used to conditionally output some driver noise
during the detach. Since all the printk's have been removed this
variable is no longer necessary.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.
