¡Hola!

PCI's devres API suffers several weaknesses:

1. There are functions prefixed with pcim_. Those are always managed
   counterparts to never-managed functions prefixed with pci_ – or so one
   would like to think. There are some apparently unmanaged functions
   (all region-request / release functions, and pci_intx()) which
   suddenly become managed once the user has initialized the device with
   pcim_enable_device() instead of pci_enable_device(). This "sometimes
   yes, sometimes no" nature of those functions is confusing and
   therefore bug-provoking. In fact, it has already caused a bug in DRM.
   The last patch in this series fixes that bug.
2. iomappings: Instead of giving each mapping its own callback, the
   existing API uses a statically allocated struct tracking one mapping
   per bar. This is not extensible. Especially, you can't create
   _ranged_ managed mappings that way, which many drivers want.
3. Managed request functions only exist as "plural versions" with a
   bit-mask as a parameter. That's quite over-engineered considering
   that each user only ever mapps one, maybe two bars.

This series:
- add a set of new "singular" devres functions that use devres the way
  its intended, with one callback per resource.
- deprecates the existing iomap-table mechanism.
- deprecates the hybrid nature of pci_ functions.
- preserves backwards compatibility so that drivers using the existing
  API won't notice any changes.
- adds documentation, especially some warning users about the
  complicated nature of PCI's devres.


Note that this series is based on my "unify pci_iounmap"-series from a
few weeks ago. [1]

I tested this on a x86 VM with a simple pci test-device with two
regions. Operates and reserves resources as intended on my system.
Kasan and kmemleak didn't find any problems.

I believe this series cleans the API up as much as possible without
having to port all existing drivers to the new API. Especially, I think
that this implementation is easy to extend if the need for new managed
functions arises :)

Greetings,
P.
