    misc: fastrpc: add extended context bank support
    
This commit detects extended context banks by checking for the iommu-ranges
property on the context bank node. It registers them in a separate ext_cb
array, allowing the mapping layer to direct large allocations into the wider
IOVA window.

[Severity: High]
Can this new failure path trigger a use-after-free regression due to premature
device registration?

If this allocation fails, fastrpc_cb_init() returns an error, which propagates
up to fastrpc_rpmsg_probe(). In fastrpc_rpmsg_probe(), the misc device is
registered and exposed to userspace before fastrpc_cb_devices_create() is
called. 

If userspace opens the device concurrently during probe, it obtains an active
file descriptor. When the error path in fastrpc_rpmsg_probe() unconditionally
frees the channel context (data), any subsequent ioctl() or close() by userspace
will dereference the freed pointer.

[Severity: High]
Does this code cause a use-after-free regression of the ext_cb array pointer?

krealloc() is called without holding cctx->lock. If krealloc() allocates a new
block, it frees the old cctx->ext_cb pointer. The cctx->ext_cb pointer is only
updated to new_ext later inside the spinlock. 

During this window, cctx->ext_cb points to freed memory, and concurrent
readers may fetch the freed pointer if they race with the probe thread.

[Severity: High]
Does this code also introduce a regression that leaks the dynamically allocated
ext_cb array elements on the probe error path?

If a failure occurs during the context bank initialization loop
(e.g., if krealloc() fails for a second child node after the first succeeded),
the error propagates to fastrpc_rpmsg_probe(). 

The error path in fastrpc_rpmsg_probe() directly executes kfree(data), bypassing
the proper teardown sequence in fastrpc_channel_ctx_free(). Because
fastrpc_channel_ctx_free() is circumvented, the sess objects allocated by this
patch are permanently leaked.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this code also leak the ext_cb array itself on the probe error path?

Similar to the array elements, because the probe error path executes kfree(data)
directly and skips calling fastrpc_channel_ctx_free(), the new_ext block
allocated here is never freed and permanently leaked.

[Severity: High]
Does this loop cause a double-free regression of the device node?

The for_each_available_child_of_node() macro automatically drops the reference
to the previous node upon advancing in the loop. Explicitly calling
of_node_put(np) inside the loop body (both before continue and at the end of
the iteration) violates OF iterator semantics and results in a double-free.

Since this patch introduces new allocations in fastrpc_cb_init() that can
fail, it exposes this buggy cleanup path when fastrpc_cb_devices_destroy()
is triggered on error.
