Hi,

These patches fix a number of problems in the FPSIMD/SVE/SME code, as a
step towards re-enabling SME support. Additional fixes/changes will be
necessary before we can re-enable SME support. I intend to follow up
with more patches in the near future.

I'm hoping these patches as-is are largely uncontroversial, though I'm
afraid they've only seen light/targeted testing so far, so any testing
would be much appreciated.

The series is based on v6.15-rc1, and I've pushed the series to the
'arm64-fpsimd-fixes-20250409' branch of my kernel.org git repo:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mark/linux.git
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mark/linux.git/

Since v1 [1]:
* Drop removal of redundant TIF_SVE clearing; this requires more preparatory work.
* Remove leftover prototype for fpsimd_force_sync_to_sve().
* Clarify commit message for opportunistic freeing of sve_state.
* Add Mark Brown's Reviewed-by tags.

I added these patches to for-next/sme-fixes (and for-kernelci) for wider
exposure. Not queued for upstream yet, I need to review and discuss with
Will whether we target 6.15 or 6.16.

Thanks!
