[v8,20/25] powerpc, fbdev: Use arch_nvram_ops methods instead of nvram_read_byte() and nvram_write_byte()

Make use of arch_nvram_ops in device drivers so that the nvram_* function
exports can be removed.

Since they are no longer global symbols, rename the PPC32 nvram_* functions
appropriately.

Instead of modifying all drivers (in this patch and previous ones  
related to other arches), wouldn't it be better to add helpers like  
the following in nvram.h:

Static inline unsigned char nvram_read_byte(int addr)
{
         return arch_nvram_ops.read_byte(addr);
}

Is there some benefit, or is that just personal taste?

Avoiding changes to call sites avoids code review, but I think 1) the 
thinkpad_acpi changes have already been reviewed and 2) the fbdev changes 
need review anyway.

Your suggesion would add several new entities and one extra layer of 
indirection.

I think indirection harms readability because now the reader now has to go 
and look up the meaning of the new entities.

It's not the case that we need to choose between definitions of 
nvram_read_byte() at compile time, or stub them out:

#ifdef CONFIG_FOO
static inline unsigned char nvram_read_byte(int addr)
{
	return arch_nvram_ops.read_byte(addr);
}
#else
static inline unsigned char nvram_read_byte(int addr) { }
#endif

And I don't anticipate a need for a macro here either:

#define nvram_read_byte(a) random_nvram_read_byte_impl(a)

I think I've used the simplest solution.

Having the indirection would help if the inline function can
encapsulate the NULL pointer check, like

static inline unsigned char nvram_read_byte(loff_t addr)
{
       char data;

       if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NVRAM))
                 return 0xff;

       if (arch_nvram_ops.read_byte)
                 return arch_nvram_ops.read_byte(addr);

       if (arch_nvram_ops.read)
                 return arch_nvram_ops.read(char, 1, &addr);

      return 0xff;
}

(the above assumes no #ifdef in the structure definition, if you
keep the #ifdef there they have to be added here as well).

The semantics of .read_byte and .read are subtly different. For CONFIG_X86 
and CONFIG_ATARI, .read implies checksum validation and .read_byte does 
not.

In particular, in the thinkpad_acpi case, checksum validation isn't used, 
but in the atari_scsi case, it is.

So I like to see drivers explicitly call the method they want. I didn't 
want to obscure this distinction in a helper.

Contrary to what I said above, this kind of double indirection could be 
useful if it allows us to avoid the kind of double indirection which Arnd 
objected to (which arises when an arch_nvram_ops method invokes a ppc_md 
method). For example,

static inline unsigned char nvram_read_byte(int addr)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_PPC
	return ppc_md.nvram_read_byte(addr);
#else
	return arch_nvram_ops.read_byte(addr);
#endif
}

I'll try this approach for v9 if there are no objections. It may be the 
least invasive approach. Also, arch_nvram_ops can remain const.
