This series aims to drop the remaining (non-essential) global members to address the following TODO item: ``` * Get rid of all non essential global structures and create a proper per device structure ``` Mainly the global members are moved to be contained inside platform driver data. They can be access via platform_get_drvdata(). Patch 1/6 drops the g_once_init variable as it is not used meaningfully. Patch 2/6 is a prep-up patch for subsequent patches. Patch 3/6 drops global variables tracking connections to vchiq driver through vchiq_connected[.ch]. New struct vchiq_connected is introduced and added to vchiq_drvdata. Patch 4/6 drops g_cache_line_size and use direct value from vchiq_drvdata Patch 5/6 drops global variables pertaining to track memory pages Patch 6/6 is already a completed item - so just a TODO cleanup The user of vchiq_connected.[ch] is not present currently, but the user will be present when we will upstream bcm2835-isp via the vc-sm-cma driver. Posting a branch for reference [1] to provide and test the idea behind this series.
