<content type='text'>
mei_device lifetime was managed by devm procedure of parent device.
But such memory is freed on device_del.
Mei_device object is used by client object that may be alive after
parent device is removed.
It may lead to use-after-free if discrete graphics driver unloads
mei_gsc auxiliary device while user-space holds open handle to mei
character device.

Connect mei_device structure lifteme to mei class device lifetime
by adding mei_device free to class device remove callback.

Move exising parent device pointer to separate field in mei_device
to avoid misuse.

Allocate character device dynamically and allow to control its own
lifetime as it may outlive mei_device structure while character
device closes after parent device is removed from the system.

Leave power management on parent device as we overwrite pci runtime
pm procedure and user-space is expecting it there.

sticking around after probe errors or unbinding of the platform driver.

mei_vsc_hw_reset() gets called from mei_start() and mei_stop() in
the latter case we do not need to re-init the VSC by calling vsc_tp_init().

mei_stop() only happens on shutdown and driver unbind. On shutdown we
don't need to load + boot the firmware and if the driver later is
bound to the device again then mei_start() will do another reset.

The intr_enable flag is true when called from mei_start() and false on
mei_stop(). Skip vsc_tp_init() when intr_enable is false.

This avoids unnecessarily uploading the firmware, which takes 11 seconds.
This change reduces the poweroff/reboot time by 11 seconds.

<title>Get rid of 'remove_new' relic from platform driver struct</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e70140ba0d2b1a30467d4af6bcfe761327b9ec95</id>
<content type='text'>
The continual trickle of small conversion patches is grating on me, and
is really not helping.  Just get rid of the 'remove_new' member
function, which is just an alias for the plain 'remove', and had a
comment to that effect:

  /*
   * .remove_new() is a relic from a prototype conversion of .remove().
   * New drivers are supposed to implement .remove(). Once all drivers are
   * converted to not use .remove_new any more, it will be dropped.
   */

This was just a tree-wide 'sed' script that replaced '.remove_new' with
'.remove', with some care taken to turn a subsequent tab into two tabs
to make things line up.

I did do some minimal manual whitespace adjustment for places that used
spaces to line things up.

Then I just removed the old (sic) .remove_new member function, and this
is the end result.  No more unnecessary conversion noise.

<id>urn:sha1:49988a7975420eb206c783f8a384458aae85d938</id>
<content type='text'>
The only 2 callers of vsc_tp_reset() are:

1. mei_vsc_hw_reset(), which immediataly calls vsc_tp_intr_disable()
   afterwards.

2. vsc_tp_shutdown() which immediately calls free_irq() afterwards.

So neither actually wants the interrupt to be enabled after resetting
the chip and having the interrupt enabled for a short time afer
the reset is undesirable.

Drop the enable_irq() call from vsc_tp_reset(), so that the interrupt
is left disabled after vsc_tp_reset().

After completing the firmware download, the firmware requires some
time to become functional. This change introduces additional sleep
time before the first read operation to prevent a confusing timeout
error in vsc_tp_xfer().

The dynamically created mei client device (mei csi) is used as one V4L2
sub device of the whole video pipeline, and the V4L2 connection graph is
built by software node. The mei_stop() and mei_restart() will delete the
old mei csi client device and create a new mei client device, which will
cause the software node information saved in old mei csi device lost and
the whole video pipeline will be broken.

Removing mei_stop()/mei_restart() during system suspend/resume can fix
the issue above and won't impact hardware actual power saving logic.
