[PATCH v2 0/6] memory: renesas-rpc-if: Rebind fixes and misc cleanups

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

	Hi all,

The Renesas RPC-IF provides either HyperFlash or SPI host access.
To handle this, three drivers are used:
  1. The RPC-IF core diver,
  2. An HyperFlash child driver,
  3. An SPI child driver.

Currently this driver collection suffers from a sub-optimal division of
roles and reponsibilities, leading to (un)bind issues: after manually
unbinding the child driver, rebinding the child driver fails with
-EBUSY.

This patch series aims to fix this, by splitting off private data and
making the RPC-IF core driver responsible for resource acquisition.
After that, a few customary cleanups are provided.

This has been tested on the Salvator-X(S) and Ebisu-4D (HyperFlash) and
White-Hawk (QSPI FLASH) development boards.

Changes compared to v1[1]:
  - Move the two fixes forward and add Fixes-tags to ease backporting,
    as requested by Krzysztof,
  - Add Acked-by,
  - Rebased cleanups,
  - Remove Runtime PM wrappers,
  - Drop patch to add system suspend/resume support to the RPC-IF core
    driver, as this is apparently not needed on R-Car M3-N and R-Car E3,
    nor fixes the issue on R-Car H3 ES2.0.  I will reply to the original
    patch with my latest investigation results.

Thanks for your comments!
