r356087 made it rather innocuous to double-register built-in keyboard
drivers; we now set a flag to indicate that it's been registered and only
act once on a registration anyways. There is no misleading here, as the
follow-up kbd_delete_driver will actually remove the driver as needed now
that the linker set isn't also consulted after kbdinit.
Keyboard drivers are generally registered via linker set. In these cases,
they're also available as kmods which use KPI for registering/unregistering
keyboard drivers outside of the linker set.
For built-in modules, we still fire off MOD_LOAD and maybe even MOD_UNLOAD
if an error occurs, leading to registration via linker set and at MOD_LOAD
time.
This is a minor optimization at best, but it keeps the internal kbd driver
tidy as a future change will merge the linker set driver list into its
internal keyboard_drivers list via SYSINIT and simplify driver lookup by
removing the need to consult the linker set.
Most keyboard drivers are using the genkbd implementations as it is;
formally use them for any that aren't set and make
genkbd_get_fkeystr/genkbd_diag private.
These invocations were directly calling enkbd_diag(), rather than
indirection back through kbdd_diag/kbdsw. While they're functionally
equivent, invoking kbdd_diag where feasible (i.e. not in a diag
implementation) makes it easier to visually identify locking needs in these
other drivers.
As part of my journey to make it easy to determine what's relying on tty
bits, remove a couple more. Some of these just outright didn't need it,
while others did rely on <sys/tty.h> pollution for mutex headers.
OF_getprop_alloc takes element size argument and returns number of
elements in the property. There are valid use cases for such behavior
but mostly API consumers pass 1 as element size to get string
properties. What API users would expect from OF_getprop_alloc is to be
a combination of malloc + OF_getprop with the same semantic of return
value. This patch modifies API signature to match these expectations.
For the valid use cases with element size != 1 and to reduce
modification scope new OF_getprop_alloc_multi function has been
introduced that behaves the same way OF_getprop_alloc behaved prior to
this patch.

- Introduce new OF API function OF_prop_free to free memory allocated by
OF_getprop_alloc and OF_getencprop_alloc. Current code just calls free(9)
with M_OFWPROP memory class which assumes knowledge about OF_*prop_alloc
functions' internals and leads to unneccessary code coupling
- Convert some of the free(..., M_OFWPROP) instances to OF_prop_free
Files affected by this commit are the ones I was able to test on real
hardware. The rest of free(..., M_OFWPROP) instances will be handled with
idividual maintainers

gpiokey driver implements functional subset of gpiokeys device-tree bindings:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/input/gpio-keys.txt
It acts as a virtual keyboard, so keys are visible through kbdmux(4)
Driver maps linux scancodes for most common keys to FreeBSD scancodes and
also extends spec by introducing freebsd,code property to specify
FreeBSD-native scancodes.
