Platform LCD devices may need to do some device-specific initialization
before they can be used (regulator or GPIO setup, for example), but
currently the driver does not support any way of doing this. This patch
adds a probe() callback to plat_lcd_data which platform LCD devices can
set to indicate that device-specific initialization is needed.

Create a new N: entry type in MAINTAINERS which performs a regex match

This provides the same benefits as using a K: regex option to match a
set of filenames (see commit eb90d0855b "get_maintainer: allow
keywords to match filenames"), but without the disadvantage that
"random" file content, such as comments, will ever match the regex.
Hence, revert most of that commit.

This driver requests and remaps a memory region as configured in the
device tree. It serves memory from this region via the genalloc API. It
optionally enables the SRAM clock.
Other drivers can retrieve the genalloc pool from a phandle pointing to
this drivers' device node in the device tree.
The allocation granularity is hard-coded to 32 bytes for now, to make the
SRAM driver useful for the 6502 remoteproc driver. There is overhead for
bigger SRAMs, where only a much coarser allocation granularity is needed:
At 32 bytes minimum allocation size, a 256 KiB SRAM needs a 1 KiB bitmap
to track allocations.

This patch adds three exported functions to lib/genalloc.c:
devm_gen_pool_create, dev_get_gen_pool, and of_get_named_gen_pool.
devm_gen_pool_create is a managed version of gen_pool_create that keeps
track of the pool via devres and allows the management code to
automatically destroy it after device removal.
dev_get_gen_pool retrieves the gen_pool for a given device, if it was
created with devm_gen_pool_create, using devres_find.
of_get_named_gen_pool retrieves the gen_pool for a given device node and
property name, where the property must contain a phandle pointing to a
platform device node. The corresponding platform device is then fed into
dev_get_gen_pool and the resulting gen_pool is returned.

resource structure, we should check whether it is allocated by bootmem
or not.
But even if we know a resource structure is allocated by bootmem, we
cannot release it since SLxB cannot treat it. So for reusing a resource
structure, this patch remembers it by using bootmem_resource as follows:
When releasing a resource structure by free_resource(), free_resource()
checks whether the resource structure is allocated by bootmem or not.
If it is allocated by bootmem, free_resource() adds it to
bootmem_resource. If it is not allocated by bootmem, free_resource()
release it by kfree().
And when getting a new resource structure by get_resource(),
get_resource() checks whether bootmem_resource has released resource
structures or not. If there is a released resource structure,
get_resource() returns it. If there is not a releaed resource
structure, get_resource() returns new resource structure allocated by
kzalloc().
