Many drivers repeat the same boilerplate when registering notifiers with
device lifetime:
1. Register the notifier with *_notifier_chain_register()
2. Check for error
3. Register a devm action to unregister on teardown
4. Implement a per-driver static unregister callback
This series adds devm_atomic_notifier_chain_register(),
devm_blocking_notifier_chain_register(), and
devm_raw_notifier_chain_register() that automatically unregister the
notifier when the device is unbound, then converts 11 drivers to use
them.
Each conversion eliminates a per-driver unregister callback and the
associated devm_add_action_or_reset() call, reducing code by ~15 lines
per driver.
The implementation follows the established devres pattern used by other
device-managed kernel APIs.
Checkpatch reports 6 CHECKs (0 errors, 0 warnings) on patch 1:
- "extern prototypes should be avoided in .h files"
- "Alignment should match open parenthesis"
Both are intentional to match the existing coding style in notifier.h,
where all declarations use 'extern' and tab-indented continuation lines.
