[PATCH v1 0/7] uml: add unspecified HAS_IOMEM dependencies

# TL;DR

This patchset adds a missing HAS_IOMEM dependency to several drivers in
an attempt to get allyesconfig closer to working for ARCH=um.

# What am I trying to do?

This patchset is part of my attempt to get `make ARCH=um allyesconfig`
to produce a config that will build *and* boot to init, so that I can
use it as a mechanism to run tests[1].

This patchset is attempting to deal with

CONFIG_PINCTRL_EQUILIBRIUM=y
CONFIG_MTD_NAND_CADENCE=y
CONFIG_FSI_MASTER_ASPEED=y
CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_SAFEXCEL=y
CONFIG_XIL_AXIS_FIFO=y
CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_AMLOGIC_GXL=y
CONFIG_XILINX_AXI_EMAC=y

which are selected by `make ARCH=um allyesconfig`, but prevent it from
building.

# How far away are we from an allyesconfig UML kernel?

I have identified 33 Kconfigs that are selected by allyesconfig, but
will either not build on UML, or prevent it from booting. They are:

CONFIG_STATIC_LINK=y
CONFIG_UML_NET_PCAP=y
CONFIG_NET_PTP_CLASSIFY=y
CONFIG_IP_VS=y
CONFIG_BRIDGE_EBT_BROUTE=y
CONFIG_BRIDGE_EBT_T_FILTER=y
CONFIG_BRIDGE_EBT_T_NAT=y
CONFIG_MTD_NAND_CADENCE=y
CONFIG_MTD_NAND_NANDSIM=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NULL_BLK=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y
CONFIG_SCSI_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_XILINX=y
CONFIG_NULL_TTY=y
CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK=y
CONFIG_PINCTRL_EQUILIBRIUM=y
CONFIG_DMABUF_SELFTESTS=y
CONFIG_COMEDI=y
CONFIG_XIL_AXIS_FIFO=y
CONFIG_EXFAT_FS=y
CONFIG_STM_DUMMY=y
CONFIG_FSI_MASTER_ASPEED=y
CONFIG_JFS_FS=y
CONFIG_UBIFS_FS=y
CONFIG_CRAMFS=y
CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_SAFEXCEL=y
CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_AMLOGIC_GXL=y
CONFIG_KCOV=y
CONFIG_LKDTM=y
CONFIG_REED_SOLOMON_TEST=y
CONFIG_TEST_RHASHTABLE=y
CONFIG_TEST_MEMINIT=y
CONFIG_NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING=y

CONFIG_STATIC_LINK=y and CONFIG_UML_NET_PCAP=y already have fixes on
their way.

I also have a patchset that just got accepted to fix
CONFIG_EXFAT_FS=y[2].

So with this patchset and these other three fixes mentioned here, we
will be about a third of the way there. There is only one more broken
config that prevents UML from building, CONFIG_LKDTM=y. After this there
will still be 22 broken configs which will prevent the UML allyesconfig
kernel from reaching the end of init; nevertheless, this is a good
milestone where, once reached, we can stop some of this bleeding by
adding a build test.

# Why won't allyesconfig break again after this series of fixes?

As I mentioned above, I am using UML for testing the kernel, and I am
currently working on getting my tests to run on KernelCI. As part of our
testing procedure for KernelCI, we are planning on building a UML kernel
using allyesconfig and running our tests on it. Thus, we will find out
very quickly once someone breaks allyesconfig again once we get this all
working.
