This is an u8, so using GENMASK_ULL() for unsigned long long is
unnecessary.

The QUIRK_MSB_ON_THE_RIGHT quirk is intended to modify pack() and unpack()
so that the most significant bit of each byte in the packed layout is on
the right.
The way the quirk is currently implemented is broken whenever the packing
code packs or unpacks any value that is not exactly a full byte.
The broken behavior can occur when packing any values smaller than one
byte, when packing any value that is not exactly a whole number of bytes,
or when the packing is not aligned to a byte boundary.
This quirk is documented in the following way:
1. Normally (no quirks), we would do it like this:
::
63 62 61 60 59 58 57 56 55 54 53 52 51 50 49 48 47 46 45 44 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 33 32
7 6 5 4
31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
3 2 1 0
<snip>
2. If QUIRK_MSB_ON_THE_RIGHT is set, we do it like this:
::
56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39
7 6 5 4
24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
3 2 1 0
That is, QUIRK_MSB_ON_THE_RIGHT does not affect byte positioning, but
inverts bit offsets inside a byte.
Essentially, the mapping for physical bit offsets should be reserved for a
given byte within the payload. This reversal should be fixed to the bytes
in the packing layout.
The logic to implement this quirk is handled within the
adjust_for_msb_right_quirk() function. This function does not work properly
when dealing with the bytes that contain only a partial amount of data.
In particular, consider trying to pack or unpack the range 53-44. We should
always be mapping the bits from the logical ordering to their physical
ordering in the same way, regardless of what sequence of bits we are
unpacking.
This, we should grab the following logical bits:
Logical: 55 54 53 52 51 50 49 48 47 45 44 43 42 41 40 39
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
And pack them into the physical bits:
Physical: 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47
Logical: 48 49 50 51 52 53 44 45 46 47
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
The current logic in adjust_for_msb_right_quirk is broken. I believe it is
intending to map according to the following:
Physical: 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47
Logical: 48 49 50 51 52 53 44 45 46 47
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
That is, it tries to keep the bits at the start and end of a packing
together. This is wrong, as it makes the packing change what bit is being
mapped to what based on which bits you're currently packing or unpacking.
Worse, the actual calculations within adjust_for_msb_right_quirk don't make
sense.
Consider the case when packing the last byte of an unaligned packing. It
might have a start bit of 7 and an end bit of 5. This would have a width of
3 bits. The new_start_bit will be calculated as the width - the box_end_bit
- 1. This will underflow and produce a negative value, which will
ultimate result in generating a new box_mask of all 0s.
For any other values, the result of the calculations of the
new_box_end_bit, new_box_start_bit, and the new box_mask will result in the
exact same values for the box_end_bit, box_start_bit, and box_mask. This
makes the calculations completely irrelevant.
If box_end_bit is 0, and box_start_bit is 7, then the entire function of
adjust_for_msb_right_quirk will boil down to just:
*to_write = bitrev8(*to_write)
The other adjustments are attempting (incorrectly) to keep the bits in the
same place but just reversed. This is not the right behavior even if
implemented correctly, as it leaves the mapping dependent on the bit values
being packed or unpacked.
Remove adjust_for_msb_right_quirk() and just use bitrev8 to reverse the
byte order when interacting with the packed data.
In particular, for packing, we need to reverse both the box_mask and the
physical value being packed. This is done after shifting the value by
box_end_bit so that the reversed mapping is always aligned to the physical
buffer byte boundary. The box_mask is reversed as we're about to use it to
clear any stale bits in the physical buffer at this block.
For unpacking, we need to reverse the contents of the physical buffer
*before* masking with the box_mask. This is critical, as the box_mask is a
logical mask of the bit layout before handling the QUIRK_MSB_ON_THE_RIGHT.
Add several new tests which cover this behavior. These tests will fail
without the fix and pass afterwards. Note that no current drivers make use
of QUIRK_MSB_ON_THE_RIGHT. I suspect this is why there have been no reports
of this inconsistency before.

packing() is now used in some hot paths, and it would be good to get rid
of some ifs and buts that depend on "op", to speed things up a little bit.
With the main implementations now taking size_t endbit, we no longer
have to check for negative values. Update the local integer variables to
also be size_t to match.

Geert Uytterhoeven described packing() as "really bad API" because of
not being able to enforce const correctness. The same function is used
both when "pbuf" is input and "uval" is output, as in the other way
around.
Create 2 wrapper functions where const correctness can be ensured.
Do ugly type casts inside, to be able to reuse packing() as currently
implemented - which will _not_ modify the input argument.
Also, take the opportunity to change the type of startbit and endbit to
size_t - an unsigned type - in these new function prototypes. When int,
an extra check for negative values is necessary. Hopefully, when
packing() goes away completely, that check can be dropped.
My concern is that code which does rely on the conditional directionality
of packing() is harder to refactor without blowing up in size. So it may
take a while to completely eliminate packing(). But let's make alternatives
available for those who do not need that.

Jacob Keller has a use case for packing() in the intel/ice networking
driver, but it cannot be used as-is.
Simply put, the API quirks for LSW32_IS_FIRST and LITTLE_ENDIAN are
naively implemented with the undocumented assumption that the buffer
length must be a multiple of 4. All calculations of group offsets and
offsets of bytes within groups assume that this is the case. But in the
ice case, this does not hold true. For example, packing into a buffer
of 22 bytes would yield wrong results, but pretending it was a 24 byte
buffer would work.
Rather than requiring such hacks, and leaving a big question mark when
it comes to discontinuities in the accessible bit fields of such buffer,
we should extend the packing API to support this use case.
It turns out that we can keep the design in terms of groups of 4 bytes,
but also make it work if the total length is not a multiple of 4.
Just like before, imagine the buffer as a big number, and its most
significant bytes (the ones that would make up to a multiple of 4) are
missing. Thus, with a big endian (no quirks) interpretation of the
buffer, those most significant bytes would be absent from the beginning
of the buffer, and with a LSW32_IS_FIRST interpretation, they would be
absent from the end of the buffer. The LITTLE_ENDIAN quirk, in the
packing() API world, only affects byte ordering within groups of 4.
Thus, it does not change which bytes are missing. Only the significance
of the remaining bytes within the (smaller) group.
No change intended for buffer sizes which are multiples of 4. Tested
with the sja1105 driver and with downstream unit tests.

While reworking the implementation, it became apparent that this check
does not exist.
There is no functional issue yet, because at call sites, "startbit" and
"endbit" are always hardcoded to correct values, and never come from the
user.
Even with the upcoming support of arbitrary buffer lengths, the
"startbit >= 8 * pbuflen" check will remain correct. This is because
we intend to always interpret the packed buffer in a way that avoids
discontinuities in the available bit indices.

Since commit 8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without
Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf"), MODULE_LICENSE declarations
are used to identify modules. As a consequence, uses of the macro
in non-modules will cause modprobe to misidentify their containing
object file as a module when it is not (false positives), and modprobe
might succeed rather than failing with a suitable error message.
So remove it in the files in this commit, none of which can be built as
modules.

- Putting a "(c)" sign in the copyright string
- Putting a comma in the copyright string
The only accepted copyright string format is "Copyright <year-range> NXP".

This provides an unified API for accessing register bit fields
regardless of memory layout. The basic unit of data for these API
functions is the u64. The process of transforming an u64 from native CPU
encoding into the peripheral's encoding is called 'pack', and
transforming it from peripheral to native CPU encoding is 'unpack'.
