[PATCH v4 0/5] media: atomisp: remove the circbuf library

["Rareș-Mihai Vladu" <vladurares@gmail.com>]

Thanks to Andy for suggesting, in review of my earlier typedef
patch [1], that I look at converting the custom circbuf code to
circ_buf or kfifo, and for reviewing the previous versions.

While looking into it, I found that the circbuf API is only used by
the local queue path, and ia_css_queue_local_init() has no callers,
so as far as I can tell that path is unused. The remote queues only
need the descriptor and element layout shared with the SP firmware
and a few small helpers.

So this series first moves the remote queue handling into helpers,
then removes the unused local path together with the queue type that
no longer seems to serve a purpose, moves the few remaining pieces
into ia_css_queue_comm.h and drops base/circbuf/.

checkpatch warns about new typedefs in patch 4 and about MAINTAINERS
in patch 5. The typedefs are only moved from ia_css_circbuf_comm.h,
which patch 5 deletes, and MAINTAINERS has no entries for the removed
files.

Compile-tested only.

This supersedes the typedef patch [1].

Changes in v4:
- Patch 2: tidy up the moved code: drop redundant parentheses and
  '!= 0' comparisons, use !ptr instead of comparing to NULL, and
  return the final ia_css_queue_store() call directly, as Andy
  suggested
- Add Andy's Reviewed-by to patches 2-4, thanks!

Changes in v3:
- New patch 2: move the remote branches into helpers first, so that
  patch 3 mostly removes code, as Andy suggested
- Generate the patches with --histogram, as Andy suggested
- Patch 1: add Andy's Reviewed-by

Changes in v2 (patch numbers as in v2):
- Patch 1: keep the includes ordered by name, as Andy suggested
- Patch 2: also remove IA_CSS_QUEUE_TYPE_REMOTE, the type field and
  the type checks, as Andy suggested, and describe in the commit
  message how the queue handles are initialized and why the
  struct ia_css_queue size change on 64-bit should not matter
- Patch 3: use u8/u32 and the usual function declaration style in
  the moved code, as Andy suggested
- Patch 4: add Andy's Reviewed-by
