coccinelle: alloc_cast: drop removed allocatorsgrafted
- pci_alloc_consistent() and pci_zalloc_consistent() were removed by commit 7968778914e5 ("PCI: Remove the deprecated "pci-dma-compat.h" API") - kmem_alloc() was removed by commit f078d4ea8276 ("xfs: convert kmem_alloc() to kmalloc()") - kmem_zalloc() was removed by commit 10634530f7ba ("xfs: convert kmem_zalloc() to kzalloc()") - kmem_zone_alloc() and kmem_zone_zalloc() were removed by commit bae633a4a283 ("xfs: remove xfs_zone_{alloc,zalloc} helpers") So drop them from the rules. No functional change. Signed-off-by: Sang-Heon Jeon <ekffu200098@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@inria.fr>

+What: /sys/bus/wmi/devices/.../driver_override
+Date: February 2024
+Contact: Armin Wolf <W_Armin@gmx.de>
+Description:
+ This file allows the driver for a device to be specified which
+ will override standard ID table matching.
+ When specified, only a driver with a name matching the value
+ written to driver_override will have an opportunity to bind
+ to the device.
+ The override is specified by writing a string to the
+ driver_override file (echo wmi-event-dummy > driver_override).
+ The override may be cleared with an empty string (echo > \
+ driver_override) which returns the device to standard matching
+ rules binding.
+ Writing to driver_override does not automatically unbind the
+ device from its current driver or make any attempt to automatically
+ load the specified driver. If no driver with a matching name is
+ currently loaded in the kernel, the device will not bind to any
+ driver.
+ This also allows devices to opt-out of driver binding using a
+ driver_override name such as "none". Only a single driver may be
+ specified in the override, there is no support for parsing delimiters.

+What: /sys/bus/wmi/devices/.../modalias
+Date: November 20:15
+Contact: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>
+Description:
+ This file contains the MODALIAS value emitted by uevent for a
+ given WMI device.
+
+ Format: wmi:XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX.
+
+What: /sys/bus/wmi/devices/.../guid
+Date: November 2015
+Contact: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>
+Description:
+ This file contains the GUID used to match WMI devices to
+ compatible WMI drivers. This GUID is not necessarily unique
+ inside a given machine, it is solely used to identify the
+ interface exposed by a given WMI device.
+
+What: /sys/bus/wmi/devices/.../object_id
+Date: November 2015
+Contact: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>
+Description:
+ This file contains the WMI object ID used internally to construct
+ the ACPI method names used by non-event WMI devices. It contains
+ two ASCII letters.
+
+What: /sys/bus/wmi/devices/.../notify_id
+Date: November 2015
+Contact: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>
+Description:
+ This file contains the WMI notify ID used internally to map ACPI
+ events to WMI event devices. It contains two ASCII letters.
+
+What: /sys/bus/wmi/devices/.../instance_count
+Date: November 2015
+Contact: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>
+Description:
+ This file contains the number of WMI object instances being
+ present on a given WMI device. It contains a non-negative
+ number.
+
+What: /sys/bus/wmi/devices/.../expensive
+Date: November 2015
+Contact: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>
+Description:
+ This file contains a boolean flag signaling if interacting with
+ the given WMI device will consume significant CPU resources.
+ The WMI driver core will take care of enabling/disabling such
+ WMI devices.
+
+What: /sys/bus/wmi/devices/.../setable
+Date: May 2017
+Contact: Darren Hart (VMware) <dvhart@infradead.org>
+Description:
+ This file contains a boolean flags signaling the data block
+ associated with the given WMI device is writable. If the
+ given WMI device is not associated with a data block, then
+ this file will not exist.
