Kees Cook 69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

  FBTFT
=========

Linux Framebuffer drivers for small TFT LCD display modules.
The module 'fbtft' makes writing drivers for some of these displays very easy.

Development is done on a Raspberry Pi running the Raspbian "wheezy" distribution.

INSTALLATION
  Download kernel sources

  From Linux 3.15
    cd drivers/video/fbdev/fbtft
    git clone https://github.com/notro/fbtft.git

    Add to drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:   source "drivers/video/fbdev/fbtft/Kconfig"
    Add to drivers/video/fbdev/Makefile:  obj-y += fbtft/

  Before Linux 3.15
    cd drivers/video
    git clone https://github.com/notro/fbtft.git

    Add to drivers/video/Kconfig:   source "drivers/video/fbtft/Kconfig"
    Add to drivers/video/Makefile:  obj-y += fbtft/

  Enable driver(s) in menuconfig and build the kernel
