Linux kernel source tree

The byte-map controls ("Byte Map N") already expose a value range of
[0, 256] to userspace via SOC_SINGLE_EXT(), where 256 is the
"disabled" sentinel. The driver stored this state as a byte-packed
u32 map[] array plus a separate byte_mask[] bitmap tracking which
slots were enabled, because 256 does not fit in a byte. As a result
get_byte_map() had to consult byte_mask[] to decide whether to
report the stored byte or 256, and put_byte_map() had to keep the
two arrays in sync on every write.
Store each slot as a u16 holding the control value directly
(0..255 enabled, 256 disabled). This is the native representation
for what userspace already sees, so get_byte_map() becomes a direct
return and put_byte_map() becomes a compare-and-store. The
hardware-facing packed RAM word and the OUT_BYTE_EN mask are now
derived on the fly inside tegra210_amx_write_map_ram() from the
slot array, which is the only place that needs to know about the
hardware layout.
The byte_mask buffer is allocated in probe() using devm_kcalloc()
with soc_data->byte_mask_size, so it scales to any SoC variant
without depending on chip-specific constants. It is zeroed and
recomputed each time write_map_ram() is called.
A new TEGRA_AMX_SLOTS_PER_WORD constant replaces the literal '4'
used for byte slots per RAM word, and BITS_PER_BYTE /
BITS_PER_TYPE() from <linux/bits.h> replace the literal '8' and
'32' shifts.
Slots are initialised to 256 in probe() so the default reported
value stays "disabled", matching previous behaviour. Values written
from userspace that fall outside [0, 255] are clamped to 256
("disabled") exactly as before -- no userspace-visible change.
As a side effect this also fixes a latent bug in the previous
put_byte_map(): because it compared the enable mask rather than the
stored byte, changing a slot from one enabled value to another
enabled value (e.g. 42 -> 99) would early-return without persisting
the new value, and the next CFG_RAM flush would still program the
old byte. The new implementation compares the stored value itself,
so this case is now handled correctly.
Addresses TODO left in tegra210_amx_get_byte_map().
