r357614 added CTLFLAG_NEEDGIANT to make it easier to find nodes that are
still not MPSAFE (or already are but aren’t properly marked).
Use it in preparation for a general review of all nodes.
This is non-functional change that adds annotations to SYSCTL_NODE and
SYSCTL_PROC nodes using one of the soon-to-be-required flags.
Mark all obvious cases as MPSAFE. All entries that haven't been marked
as MPSAFE before are by default marked as NEEDGIANT

DTS Import of Linux 5.3 added a patch that rework the L3 mmc instance
in the AM335x SoC but removed the status = 'disabled' on the node.
This cause the kernel to probe the device even if the board doesn't
have this mmc used and since we don't correctly activate the clock
for this module we panic with an external data abort.
Beaglebone(s) don't have this device anyway so simply disabling it.
Patch for the DTS was sent upstream.

The region for uart0 is declared to be 0x2000 in size but the parent
node only declare 0x1000.
As the parent only declare a size of 0x1000 in the ranges for it's children
this cause the device to not be mappable.

- Most of the boards are using U-Boot, u-boot embed a DTB that isn't
compiled with -@ (overlay ready) so we cannot use overlays. We want
overlays, overlays are nice.
- The DTS life is going to linux, then sometimes it's imported in
U-Boot but it depend on the SoC family, U-Boot doesn't batch import
every DTS like we do. So sometimes to U-Boot DTS are very old. Or when
an interesting patch in commited upstream it is in Linux X+2 (roughly 4
months from now), we then have to wait for U-Boot to catch up, that
give us between 4 and 6 months to have an update.
- Some boards like the Marvell ones have 3 DTS, the one in the
vendor U-Boot made by Marvell themselves, the one in u-boot mainline
and the one in Linux. I found that the DTS in the Marvell U-Boot have
some problem with FreeBSD (especially the macchiatobin that declare
node with the same address but not the same size, that is not something
that the rman code can handle, it could be modified, I don't know the
code well enough). Also some compatible are used when they shouldn't,
for example they declare the gpio being orion-gpio while this binding
requires interrupts supports, which the node doesn't have.
- The above situation is mostly the same with RockChip SoCs (possibly
others, those are the only SoCs I work on that have this problem).
Note that importing the DTS doesn't mean that every board will use
them, I don't intend to copy the DTB to the GENERIC memstick image for
the Overdrive 1000/3000 for example, the ones provided by the firmware
works fine.
RPI3 will still stay an exception as we use the DTB provided by the
rpi-firmware package, so they come from the rpi foundation linux fork.
- Remove the shim interface that allowed bwn(4) to use either siba_bwn or
bhnd(4), replacing all siba_bwn calls with their bhnd(4) bus equivalents.
- Drop the legay, now-unused siba_bwn bus driver.
- Clean up bhnd(4) board flag defines referenced by bwn(4).

Uses of mallocarray(9).
The use of mallocarray(9) has rocketed the required swap to build FreeBSD.
This is likely caused by the allocation size attributes which put extra pressure
on the compiler.
Given that most of these checks are superfluous we have to choose better
where to use mallocarray(9). We still have more uses of mallocarray(9) but
hopefully this is enough to bring swap usage to a reasonable level.

Focus on code where we are doing multiplications within malloc(9). None of
these ire likely to overflow, however the change is still useful as some
static checkers can benefit from the allocation attributes we use for
mallocarray.
This initial sweep only covers malloc(9) calls with M_NOWAIT. No good
reason but I started doing the changes before r327796 and at that time it
was convenient to make sure the sorrounding code could handle NULL values.

Currently, bwn(4) relies on the siba_bwn(4) bus driver to provide support
for the on-chip SSB interconnect found in Broadcom's older PCI(e) Wi-Fi
adapters. Non-PCI Wi-Fi adapters, as well as the newer BCMA interconnect
found in post-2009 Broadcom Wi-Fi hardware, are not supported by
siba_bwn(4).
The bhnd(4) bus driver (also used by the FreeBSD/MIPS Broadcom port)
provides a unified kernel interface to a superset of the hardware supported
by siba_bwn; by attaching bwn(4) via bhnd(4), we can support both modern
PCI(e) Wi-Fi devices based on the BCMA backplane interconnect, as well as
Broadcom MIPS WiSoCs that include a D11 MAC core directly attached to their
SSB or BCMA backplane.
This diff introduces opt-in bwn(4) support for bhnd(4) by providing:
- A small bwn(4) driver subclass, if_bwn_bhnd, that attaches via
bhnd(4) instead of siba_bwn(4).
- A bhndb(4)-based PCI host bridge driver, if_bwn_pci, that optionally
probes at a higher priority than the siba_bwn(4) PCI driver.
- A set of compatibility shims that perform translation of bwn(4)'s
siba_bwn function calls into their bhnd(9) API equivalents when bwn(4)
is attached via a bhnd(4) bus parent. When bwn(4) is attached via
siba_bwn(4), all siba_bwn function calls are simply passed through to
their original implementations.
To test bwn(4) with bhnd(4), place the following lines in loader.conf(5):
hw.bwn_pci.preferred="1"
if_bwn_pci_load="YES
bwn_v4_ucode_load="YES"
bwn_v4_lp_ucode_load="YES"
To verify that bwn(4) is using bhnd(4), you can check dmesg:
bwn0: <Broadcom 802.11 MAC/PHY/Radio, rev 15> ... on bhnd0
... or devinfo(8):
pcib2
pci2
bwn_pci0
bhndb0
bhnd0
bwn0
...
bwn(4)/bhnd(4) has been tested for regressions with most chipsets currently
supported by bwn(4), including:
- BCM4312
- BCM4318
- BCM4321
With minimal changes to the DMA code (not included in this commit), I was
also able to test support for newer BCMA devices by bringing up basic
working Wi-Fi on two previously unsupported, BCMA-based N-PHY chipsets:
- BCM43224
- BCM43225

Update the device tree source files to a Linux 4.7-RC.
The dts tree currently can't be merged w/o specific revisions.
Note: due to a stupid bug in the commit checking script, I couldn't
just remove the svn:keyword tag from the new files, I had to add
fbsd:nokeywords to all the files (including ones that didn't need it)
