While learning to modify device-tree files for the SAMA5D27, I've had confusion and mistakes caused by the use of unexplained "magic numbers" for peripheral IDs and DMA channels. To remedy it, I propose adding definitions for these numbers in two AT91 header-files, and modifying the Atmel DTS/DTSI files to use these definitions in "clocks", "interrupts" and "dmas" items.
This pull-request includes only SAMA5D2.dtsi - if and when there is agreement on the idea being worthwhile and the implementation correct, I'll make the corresponding modifications to the other Atmel device-tree files.

…magic numbers from device-tree file SAMA5D2.dtsi

@mikehaben, sorry but I don't share your point of view and will not merge this change neither in our vendor tree nor in Mainline.
I'm convince that reading the product datasheet and writing the corresponding number in DT is much less prone to errors than re-defining a whole series of defines. These numbers are the ones identified as "interrupt", "IRQ line" or "peripheral identifier" in DT binding documentation for the peripheral (Documentation/devicetree/bindings/).

OK, you're the maintainer, but you work for Microchip, you probably know the SAMA5 inside-out. I can only suggest that it would be helpful for those like me, less-familiar with the SAMA5 product line, at least to have some comment in the DTS/DTSI files that the "magic" numbers correspond to peripheral-ID and DMA-channel, and that their definitions can be found on pages 203-206 and 770-773 of the (>3000-page!) SAMA5D2-series datasheet. Documentation is a fine thing, but self-documenting code is better.

@mikehaben i'd still post it to: https://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel

It won't apply as-is because the clock binding changed. I also doubt the usefulness of hiding the peripheral ids behind a macr as the lookup in the datasheet is really simple and this is only used in the dtsi that is already provided for the end user.

@alexandrebelloni : my intention was to use these definitions not only in the base-level DTSI files, but also in the top-level DTS files for the various evaluation-kit boards, so that someone creating a new device-tree for custom a PCB would have a clear indication of what these numbers referred to, without having to master the entire SAMA5D2 datasheet and device-tree document set. It is generally considered poor practice to use magic numbers in C code, and it seems to me that the reasons behind that opinion apply equally to device-tree files.

[ Upstream commit 1a45200 ]

In 'bt878_irq', the driver calls 'tasklet_schedule', but this tasklet is
set in 'dvb_bt8xx_load_card' of another driver 'dvb-bt8xx'.
However, this two drivers are separate. The user may not load the
'dvb-bt8xx' driver when loading the 'bt8xx' driver, that is, the tasklet
has not been initialized when 'tasklet_schedule' is called, so it is
necessary to check whether the tasklet is initialized in 'bt878_probe'.

Fix this by adding a check at the end of bt878_probe.

The KASAN's report reveals it:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
Kernel Offset: 0x31c00000 from 0xffffffff81000000 (relocation range: 0xffffffff80000000-0xffffffffbfffffff)
---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception ]---

The root cause is that unpoison_memory() tries to check the PG_HWPoison
flags of an uninitialized page.  So VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(page)) is
triggered.  This can be reproduced by below steps:

1.Offline memory block:

 echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory12/state

2.Get offlined memory pfn:

 page-types -b n -rlN

3.Write pfn to unpoison-pfn

 echo <pfn> > /sys/kernel/debug/hwpoison/unpoison-pfn

This scenario can be identified by pfn_to_online_page() returning NULL.
And ZONE_DEVICE pages are never expected, so we can simply fail if
pfn_to_online_page() == NULL to fix the bug.
