[PATCH] [v2] iommu/io-pgtable-arm: dynamically allocate selftest device struct

[PATCH] [v2] iommu/io-pgtable-arm: dynamically allocate selftest device struct

[Arnd Bergmann]

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

In general a 'struct device' is way too large to be put on the kernel
stack. Apparently something just caused it to grow a slightly larger,
which pushed the arm_lpae_do_selftests() function over the warning
limit in some configurations:

drivers/iommu/io-pgtable-arm.c:1423:19: error: stack frame size (1032) exceeds limit (1024) in 'arm_lpae_do_selftests' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]
 1423 | static int __init arm_lpae_do_selftests(void)
      |                   ^

Change the function to use a dynamically allocated faux_device
instead of the on-stack device structure.

Fixes: ca25ec247aad ("iommu/io-pgtable-arm: Remove iommu_dev==NULL special case")

v2: use faux device instead of platform_device, as Robin suggested.
    The faux device is more appropriate here since the is no actual physical
    device, though on the other hand the v1 patch had the advantage of not
    actually needing to register the device.

Applied, thanks.
