Pull devm usage cleanup from Wolfram Sang: "Lately, I have been experimenting how to improve the devm interface to make writing device drivers easier and less error prone while also getting rid of its subtle issues. I think it has more potential but still needs work and definately conistency, especiall in its usage. The first thing I come up with is a low hanging fruit regarding devm_ioremap_resouce(). This function already checks if the passed resource is valid and gives an error message if not. So, we can remove similar checks from the drivers and get rid of a bit of code and a number of inconsistent error strings. This series only removes the unneeded check iff devm_ioremap_resource follows platform_get_resource directly. The previous version tried to shuffle code if needed, too, what lead to an embarrasing bug. It turned out to me that shuffling code for all cases found will make the automated script too complex, so I am unsure if an automated cleanup is the proper tool for this case. Removing the easy stuff seems worthwhile to me, though. Despite various architectures and platform dependencies, I managed to compile test 45 out of 57 modified files locally using heuristics and defconfigs."

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
