Move the body of the loop in gpio_device_teardown_shared() into
gpio_shared_teardown_entry(). This is a preparation for unwinding a
partially completed gpiochip_setup_shared(), which will need to tear
down individual entries. No functional change.

Move the per-entry part of gpiochip_setup_shared() into
gpio_shared_setup_entry(). This is a preparation for making the setup
all-or-nothing, which requires handling the failure of a single entry
in isolation. No functional change.

If gpio_shared_make_adev() fails for one of the references of a shared
GPIO entry, the auxiliary devices already registered for the preceding
references are never removed. Similarly, when setting up an entry fails,
the entries that were successfully set up before it keep their requested
descriptors and proxy devices, as the caller does not call
gpio_device_teardown_shared() when gpiochip_setup_shared() fails.
Make gpiochip_setup_shared() all-or-nothing. Have
gpio_shared_setup_entry() undo its own partial work: free the descriptor
and remove only the auxiliary devices of the references that precede the
failed one, so that no device is removed that was never registered. On
failure of an entry, tear down the previously completed entries in
reverse order using the same helper as the regular removal path.

Sashiko reported a pre-existing issue with the reference-counted
auxiliary device being embedded in struct gpio_shared_ref. We
unconditionally memset() the struct when setting up the GPIO shared
proxy parent while there may still be references to it held by users.
While in practice this would never happen and sashiko seems to have
confused the parent auxiliary device and the separately allocated struct
device embedded in struct gpio_device, it's still a bad pattern and
could lead to memory corruption if a user deliberately took reference to
the auxiliary device via one of the lookup functions and kept it over
the GPIO parent's teardown.
Move the auxiliary device struct out of the shared reference structure
and allocate its memory separately on proxy setup.
Since we're already touching that field: change the name to something
more meaningful: it's more important to point out this is the proxy
device instead of indicating its type in the name.

Author: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@oss.qualcomm.com>
gpio: shared: detach the proxy device from struct gpio_shared_ref
This commit moves the auxiliary device structure out of struct
gpio_shared_ref and allocates it dynamically during proxy device setup so
that its lifetime is managed by its embedded struct device reference count
rather than being zeroed on re-initialization.

[Severity: Medium]
Should this check in gpiochip_setup_shared() hold ref->lock while reading
ref->proxy_dev?
In drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c, gpiochip_add_data_with_key() and
gpiochip_remove() drop gpio_devices_lock before calling
gpiochip_setup_shared() and gpio_device_teardown_shared(), so
gpiochip_setup_shared() on one CPU can run concurrently with
gpio_shared_make_proxy_dev() or gpio_shared_remove_proxy_dev() on another
CPU.
While gpio_shared_make_proxy_dev() and gpio_shared_remove_proxy_dev() update
ref->proxy_dev under ref->lock, gpiochip_setup_shared() reads ref->proxy_dev
without holding ref->lock. Because struct device dev is at offset 0 of
struct auxiliary_device, &ref->proxy_dev->dev evaluates to the pointer value
of ref->proxy_dev itself. If ref->proxy_dev is non-NULL on the first load in
the condition and gpio_shared_remove_proxy_dev() concurrently clears
ref->proxy_dev to NULL before the second load, &ref->proxy_dev->dev can
evaluate to NULL. For a GPIO chip being registered with gdev->dev.parent ==
NULL, gdev->dev.parent == &ref->proxy_dev->dev would then evaluate to true,
falsely setting GPIOD_FLAG_SHARED_PROXY on an unrelated GPIO chip.
Also, in gpio_shared_make_proxy_dev(), auxiliary_device_add(adev) is called
before ref->proxy_dev is assigned under ref->lock, and in
gpio_shared_remove_proxy_dev(), ref->proxy_dev is cleared to NULL before
auxiliary_device_delete(proxy) completes. Could the proxy driver's probe run
gpiochip_setup_shared() while ref->proxy_dev is still NULL (or already
cleared to NULL) and miss setting GPIOD_FLAG_SHARED_PROXY?

Automated management of shared GPIOs only allows to request shared pins
when they're assigned to a real struct device. Firmware node, no-device
lookup currently isn't supported and can't be because we're using
platform lookup tables to point the callers to the shared proxy GPIO
controllers.
Rework the GPIO sharing by using dummy software nodes assigned to the
proxy devices which allow us - once the correct struct gpio_shared_ref
is found - to find the target GPIO device by its firmware node.
