The data read from the device is 3 little-endian words, so let's annotate them as such and use le16_to_cpu() to convert them to host endianness - it might turn out to be a bit more performant, and it expresses the conversion more clearly.

If the driver is built as a module, autoload won't work because the module alias information is not filled. So user-space can't match the registered device with the corresponding module. Export the module alias information using the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro.

gcc-7.0.1 points out that we copy uninitialized data from the stack into a per-device structure: drivers/auxdisplay/ht16k33.c: In function 'ht16k33_keypad_irq_thread': arch/x86/include/asm/string_32.h:78:16: error: 'new_state' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] arch/x86/include/asm/string_32.h:79:22: error: '*((void *)&new_state+4)' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] The access is harmless because we never read the data, but we are better off not doing this, so this changes the code to only copy the data that was actually initialized. To make sure we don't overflow the stack with an incorrect DT, we also need to add a sanity checkin the probe function.

AMTHIF has special support in the mei drive, it handles multiplexing multiple user space connection above single me client connection. Since there is no additional addressing information there is a strict requirement on the traffic order on each connection and on the "read after write" order within the connection. This creates a lot of complexity mostly because the other client types do not necessarily fall under the same restriction. After carefully studying the use of the AMTHIF client, we came to conclusion that the multiplexing is not really utilized by any application and we may safely remove that support and significantly simplify the driver.

This workqueue is used by our storage target mode ULPs via the new CQ API. Recent observations when working with very high-end flash storage devices reveal that UNBOUND workqueue threads can migrate between cpu cores and even numa nodes (although some numa locality is accounted for). While this attribute can be useful in some workloads, it does not fit in very nicely with the normal run-to-completion model we usually use in our target-mode ULPs and the block-mq irq<->cpu affinity facilities. The whole block-mq concept is that the completion will land on the same cpu where the submission was performed. The fact that our submitter thread is migrating cpus can break this locality. We assume that as a target mode ULP, we will serve multiple initiators/clients and we can spread the load enough without having to use unbound kworkers. Also, while we're at it, expose this workqueue via sysfs which is harmless and can be useful for debug.
