This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'
to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.
Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.
For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

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 *".

The driver does not support unbinding (e.g. as clockevents cannot be
deregistered) so suppress the bind attributes to prevent the driver from
being unbound and rebound after registration (and disabling the timer
when reprobing fails).
Even if the driver can currently only be built-in, also switch to
builtin_platform_driver() to prevent it from being unloaded should
modular builds ever be enabled.

The previous changes put in place the encapsulation of the code in
order to allow multiple instances of the driver.
The S32G platform has two Periodic Interrupt Timer (PIT). The IP is
exactly the same as the VF platform.
Each PIT has four channels which are 32 bits wide and counting
down. The two first channels can be chained to implement a 64 bits
counter. The channel usage is kept unchanged with the original driver,
channel 2 is used as a clocksource, channel 3 is used as a
clockevent. Other channels are unused.
In order to support the S32G platform which has two PIT, we initialize
the timer and bind it to a CPU. The S32G platforms can have 2, 4 or 8
CPUs and this kind of configuration can appear unusual as we may endup
with two PIT used as a clockevent for the two first CPUs while the
other CPUs use the architected timers. However, in the context of the
automotive, the platform can be partioned to assign 2 CPUs for Linux
and the others CPUs to third party OS. The PIT is then used with their
specifities like the ability to freeze the time which is needed for
instance for debugging purpose.
The setup found for this platform is each timer instance is bound to
CPU0 and CPU1.
A counter is incremented when a timer is successfully initialized and
assigned to a CPU. This counter is used as an index for the CPU number
and to detect when we reach the maximum possible instances for the
platform. That in turn triggers the CPU hotplug callbacks to achieve
the per CPU setup. It is the exact same mechanism found in the NXP STM
driver.
If the timers must be bound to different CPUs, it would require an
additionnal mechanism which is not part of these changes.
Tested on a s32g274a-rdb2.

The PIT acronym stands for Periodic Interrupt Timer which is found on
different NXP platforms not only on the Vybrid Family. Change the name
to be more generic for the NXP platforms in general. That will be
consistent with the NXP STM driver naming convention.
