Subject: [PATCH] device property: Make modifications of fwnode "flags" thread
 safe

In various places in the kernel, we modify the fwnode "flags" member
by doing either:
  fwnode->flags |= SOME_FLAG;
  fwnode->flags &= ~SOME_FLAG;

This type of modification is not thread-safe. If two threads are both
mucking with the flags at the same time then one can clobber the
other.

While flags are often modified while under the "fwnode_link_lock",
this is not universally true.

Create some accessor functions for setting, clearing, and testing the
FWNODE flags and move all users to these accessor functions. New
accessor functions use set_bit() and clear_bit(), which are
thread-safe.

[PATCH 6.1.y] device property: Make modifications of fwnode "flags" thread safe

[Douglas Anderson]

In various places in the kernel, we modify the fwnode "flags" member
by doing either:
  fwnode->flags |= SOME_FLAG;
  fwnode->flags &= ~SOME_FLAG;

This type of modification is not thread-safe. If two threads are both
mucking with the flags at the same time then one can clobber the
other.

While flags are often modified while under the "fwnode_link_lock",
this is not universally true.

Create some accessor functions for setting, clearing, and testing the
FWNODE flags and move all users to these accessor functions. New
accessor functions use set_bit() and clear_bit(), which are
thread-safe.
