*** Bjorn seems happy with this series, and Herve has reviewed ***
*** almost all of it, but we'd prefer to get an ACK from Rob ***
Add a check when adding a PCI device to ensure the device_type
property is (or is not) correctly defined when the device has
a non-null devicetree node pointer.
This series also includes three other minor cleanups to the PCI
devicetree code. The first patch prevents a possible null pointer
dereference that Sashiko pointed out some time back. The second
and third patches are simple cleanups. The last adds the new PCI
devicetree node checks and warnings.

Between version 6 and version 7:
- Simplified the wording on this cover letter
- No longer check for snprintf() overflow in of_pci_prop_compatible()
- Rebased onto 7.4-rc1
Version 6 is available here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260924150222.1179235-1-elder@riscstar.com/
Between version 5 and version 6:
- Simplified the patch header on the last patch, as suggested by
Bjorn
- Rebased on v7.3-rc4; otherwise no code changes
Version 5 is available here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260908213459.2519059-1-elder@riscstar.com/
Between version 4 and version 5:
- Made a local variable (bufp) a pointer type in the first patch
- Eliminated an unused local variable (i) in the first patch
Version 4 is available here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260904134607.1856121-1-elder@riscstar.com/
Between version 3 and version 4:
- Insert a first patch that fixes a Sashiko-reported issue
- Drop the final "duplicate warning" patch from v3
- Include "pciex" as a valid PCI bridge device_type property value
- Add Herve's Reviewed-by tag on the last patch
Version 3 is available here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260901011338.1323243-1-elder@riscstar.com/
Between version 2 and version 3:
- Drop a patch that made a change only needed by a different series
- Switch a function header to use kernel-doc format
- Add a warning if a PCI bridge node has no device_type property
- Added a patch to remove a duplicate warning in the devicetree code
Version 2 is available here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260812172247.276554-1-elder@riscstar.com/
Between version 1 and version 2:
- Check the PCI devicetree node even when PCI_DYNAMIC_OF_NODES is
not enabled
Version 1 is available here:

Three compatible strings are formatted in of_pci_prop_compatible().
Their sizes are known in advance, and the largest is 16 bytes.
Rather than dynamically allocating the space for those strings, just
set aside a buffer on the stack large enough to hold all three.
This avoids a problem that Sashiko pointed out, where an allocation
failure would cause subsequent crash because strlen() is called
unconditionally in of_changeset_add_prop_string_array().

The reg_num argument passed to of_pci_set_address() is always zero,
so get rid of it.

The flags variable whose address is passed to of_pci_get_addr_flags()
is zeroed before assigning a value to it. Skip the zeroing and just
assign it instead.

The Open Firmware PCI Bus Supplement and Devicetree Specification
reserves the device_type property for PCI bridge nodes (with value
"pci" or "pciex"). Non-bridge PCI endpoint nodes must not include
this property. Rob Herring observed that developers seem to get
this wrong. Commit df4107fc729e3 ("arm64: dts: qcom: qcs6490-rb3gen2:
clean up PCI function nodes") and a few that follow demonstrate this.
Rob requested that a runtime check be added to spot this specific error,
only for non-bridge PCI devices. Herve Codina further suggested we
ensure that bridge PCI devices *do* define the device_type property,
with value "pci" or "pciex".
Implement these suggested warnings in of_pci_verify_node(), a new
function called by pci_bus_add_device() for both bridges and endpoints.
If a PCI bridge has a devicetree node, a warning is issued if it has
a device_type property whose value is not "pci" or "pciex" (or if it
has no such property). Similarly, a warning is issued for an endpoint
if it has a device_type property having one of those two values.
To be clear, this adds warnings, but otherwise ignores the errors
it warns about. It is meant to help developers; users should never
see these messages.
