tty: use u8 for flags

This makes all those 'char's an explicit 'u8'. This is part of the
continuing unification of chars and flags to be consistent u8.

This approaches tty_port_default_receive_buf().

Note that we do not change signedness as we compile with
-funsigned-char.

net: caif: remove BUG_ON(dev == NULL) in caif_xmit

The condition of dev == NULL is impossible in caif_xmit(), hence it is
for the removal.

Explanation:
The static caif_xmit() is only called upon via a function pointer
`ndo_start_xmit` defined in include/linux/netdevice.h:
```
struct net_device_ops {
...
netdev_tx_t (*ndo_start_xmit)(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev);
...
}
```

The exhausive list of call points are:
```
drivers/net/ethernet/qualcomm/rmnet/rmnet_map_command.c
dev->netdev_ops->ndo_start_xmit(skb, dev);
^ ^

drivers/infiniband/ulp/opa_vnic/opa_vnic_netdev.c
struct opa_vnic_adapter *adapter = opa_vnic_priv(netdev);

}

const struct net_device_ops *ops = dev->netdev_ops;
^
rc = __netdev_start_xmit(ops, skb, dev, more);
^
```

In each of the enumerated scenarios, it is impossible for the NULL-valued dev to
reach the caif_xmit() without crashing the kernel earlier, therefore `BUG_ON(dev ==
NULL)` is rather useless, hence the removal.

Revert "net: caif: replace BUG_ON with recovery code"

This reverts commit c5dea815834c7d2e9fc633785455bc428b7a1956.

Because of recent interactions with developers from @umn.edu, all
commits from them have been recently re-reviewed to ensure if they were
correct or not.

Upon review, this commit was found to be incorrect for the reasons
below, so it must be reverted. It will be fixed up "correctly" in a
later kernel change.

The original change here was pointless as dev can never be NULL in this
function so the claim in the changelog that this "fixes" anything is
incorrect (also the developer forgot about panic_on_warn). A follow-up
change will resolve this issue properly.

tty: cumulate and document tty_struct::ctrl* members

Group the ctrl members under a single struct called ctrl. The new struct
contains 'pgrp', 'session', 'pktstatus', and 'packet'. 'pktstatus' and
'packet' used to be bits in a bitfield. The struct also contains the
lock protecting them to share the same cache line.

Note that commit c545b66c6922b (tty: Serialize tcflow() with other tty
flow control changes) added a padding to the original bitfield. It was
for the bitfield to occupy a whole 64b word to avoid interferring stores
on Alpha (cannot we evaporate this arch with weird implications to C
code yet?). But it doesn't work as expected as the padding
(tty_struct::ctrl_unused) is aligned to a 8B boundary too and occupies
some bytes from the next word.

So make it reliable by:
1) setting __aligned of the struct -- that aligns the start, and
2) making 'unsigned long unused[0]' as the last member of the struct --
pads the end.

Add a kerneldoc comment for this grouped members.

tty: cumulate and document tty_struct::flow* members

Group the flow flags under a single struct called flow. The new struct
contains 'stopped' and 'tco_stopped' bools which used to be bits in a

potentially share the same cache line.

Note that commit c545b66c6922b (tty: Serialize tcflow() with other tty
flow control changes) added a padding to the original bitfield. It was
for the bitfield to occupy a whole 64b word to avoid interferring stores

2) making 'unsigned long unused[0]' as the last member of the struct --
pads the end.

This is also the perfect time to start the documentation of tty_struct
where all this lives. So we start by documenting what these bools
actually serve for. And why we do all the alignment dances. Only the few
up-to-date information from the Theodore's comment made it into this new
Kerneldoc comment.

Revert "net: caif: replace BUG_ON with recovery code"

[ Upstream commit 4df07045fcfd684379a394d0f2aa0cc4067bda2a ]

This reverts commit c5dea815834c7d2e9fc633785455bc428b7a1956.

Because of recent interactions with developers from @umn.edu, all
commits from them have been recently re-reviewed to ensure if they were
correct or not.

Upon review, this commit was found to be incorrect for the reasons
below, so it must be reverted. It will be fixed up "correctly" in a
later kernel change.

The original change here was pointless as dev can never be NULL in this
function so the claim in the changelog that this "fixes" anything is
incorrect (also the developer forgot about panic_on_warn). A follow-up
change will resolve this issue properly.

The method ndo_start_xmit() is defined as returning an 'netdev_tx_t',
which is a typedef for an enum type, but the implementation in this
driver returns an 'int'.

Fix this by returning 'netdev_tx_t' in this driver too.

net: caif: Fix debugfs on 64-bit platforms

"ser_device.state" is "unsigned long", i.e. 32-bit or 64-bit, depending
on the platform. Hence casting its address to "u32 *", and calling
debugfs_create_x32() breaks operation on 64-bit platforms.

Fix this by using the new debugfs_create_xul() helper instead.

When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the
return value. The function can work or not, but the code logic should
never do something different based on this.
