Replacing kmalloc/kfree/dma_map_single/dma_unmap_single()
with dma_alloc_coherent/dma_free_coherent() helps to reduce
code size, and simplify the code, and coherent DMA will not
clear the cache every time.

v1->v2: Remove extra change in Kconfig
drivers/net/etherne
Commit b56cd05c55a1 ("x86/mm: Rename is_kernel_text to __is_kernel_text"),
add '__' prefix not to get in conflict with existing is_kernel_text() in
.
We will add __is_kernel_text() for the basic kernel text range check in the
next patch, so use private is_x86_32_kernel_text() naming for x86 specia
After commit 4ba66a976072 ("arch: remove blackfin port"),
no need arch-specific text/data check.

The is_kernel_inittext/is_kernel_text/is_kernel function should not

There are three head files(kallsyms.h, kernel.h and sections.h) which
include the kernel sections range check, let's make some cleanup and
unify them.
1. cleanup arch specific text/data check and fix address boundary check
in kallsyms.h
2. make all the basic/core kernel range check function int
Directly use is_kernel() helper in kernel_or_module_addr().

Hi Sven,
Thanks a lot for your nice explanation of the history of the PASemi i2c

We are using Nemo boards with 64-bit dual-core PWRficient PA6T-1682M

The RC2 of kernel 5.15 works without any problems on our Nemo boards. [2]

Hi,
This series adds support for the I2C controller found on Apple Silicon Macs
which has quite a bit of history:
Apple bought P.A. Semi in 2008 and it looks like a part of its legacy continues
to live on in the M1. This controller has actually been used since at least the
iPhone 4S and hasn't ch
Some later revisions after the original PASemi I2C controller introduce
what likely is an enable bit to the CTL register. Without setting it the
actual i2c transmission is never started.
