Patch Review

This is the workhorse patch =E2=80=94 484 insertions and 559 deletions acro=
ss 8 files. The mechanical conversions are generally correct. A few observa=
tions:

**panthor_device.c =E2=80=94 `panthor_device_unplug()` restructuring:**
The original code released `unplug.lock` before the slow teardown path, wit=
h a comment "We do the rest of the unplug with the unplug lock released." T=
he new version uses `scoped_guard` which correctly releases after the block=
, achieving the same semantics. The `was_already_unplugged` variable is a c=
lean way to handle this. Good.

**panthor_device.c =E2=80=94 `panthor_mmio_vm_fault()` restructuring:**
In the original, the `DRM_PANTHOR_USER_FLUSH_ID_MMIO_OFFSET` case set `pfn`=
 and `pgprot` inside the lock, then called `vmf_insert_pfn_prot()` after th=
e `switch` but still inside the lock. The new version moves `vmf_insert_pfn=
_prot()` inside the `case` block with a `break`, which is functionally corr=
ect but adds indentation. This is fine.

**panthor_gpu.c =E2=80=94 `panthor_gpu_flush_caches()` early return inside =
`scoped_guard`:**
```c
scoped_guard(spinlock_irqsave, &ptdev->gpu->reqs_lock) {
    if (ptdev->gpu->pending_reqs & GPU_IRQ_CLEAN_CACHES_COMPLETED)
        return -EIO;
```
Returning from inside a `scoped_guard` block is valid =E2=80=94 the cleanup=
 runs. This is correct.

**panthor_mmu.c =E2=80=94 `panthor_vm_idle()` refactoring:**
The original used `refcount_dec_and_mutex_lock()` which is an atomic "decre=
ment and if it reaches zero, return with lock held" operation. The replacem=
ent:
```c
if (refcount_dec_not_one(&vm->as.active_cnt))
    return;

guard(mutex)(&ptdev->mmu->as.slots_lock);
if (!refcount_dec_and_test(&vm->as.active_cnt))
    return;
```
This is a correct decomposition. `refcount_dec_not_one()` returns true if t=
he count was >1 after decrementing (i.e., not last ref), so the fast path a=
voids the lock. Then under the lock, `refcount_dec_and_test()` does the fin=
al atomic check. The refcount is decremented exactly once in all paths. Cor=
rect, though slightly less efficient than the original `refcount_dec_and_mu=
tex_lock()` in the contended-last-ref case (two atomic ops instead of one).=
 Acceptable tradeoff.

**panthor_mmu.c =E2=80=94 `panthor_mmu_reclaim_priv_bos()` restructuring:**
This is the most delicate conversion. The original held `ptdev->reclaim.loc=
k` across the loop iteration, dropping it only around `drm_gem_lru_scan()`.=
 The new version uses multiple `scoped_guard` blocks:
```c
scoped_guard(mutex, &ptdev->reclaim.lock)
    list_splice_init(&ptdev->reclaim.vms, &vms);

while (freed < nr_to_scan) {
    scoped_guard(mutex, &ptdev->reclaim.lock) {
        vm =3D list_first_entry_or_null(&vms, ...);
        if (vm && !kref_get_unless_zero(&vm->base.kref)) {
            list_del_init(&vm->reclaim.lru_node);
            vm =3D NULL;
        }
    }
    if (!vm)
        break;
```
There's a behavioral difference here: the original loop would `continue` wh=
en `kref_get_unless_zero` failed (trying the next VM in the list), but the =
new version sets `vm =3D NULL` and then `break`s out of the while loop. Thi=
s means if the first VM in the list has a zero refcount, the reclaim loop s=
tops entirely rather than trying subsequent VMs. **This looks like a bug** =
=E2=80=94 it should keep looping. The `list_del_init` removes the dead VM f=
rom `vms`, but then `vm =3D NULL` causes the `if (!vm) break;` to exit the =
entire while loop instead of continuing.

**panthor_pwr.c =E2=80=94 `panthor_pwr_irq_handler()` spinlock change:**
The original used `spin_lock()`/`spin_unlock()` (without irqsave), but the =
replacement uses `guard(spinlock_irqsave)`. Since this is an IRQ handler (h=
ardirq context), interrupts are already disabled, so `spinlock_irqsave` is =
unnecessary overhead (saves/restores flags that won't change). The original=
 `spin_lock()` was correct here. While functionally harmless, using `spinlo=
ck_irqsave` in a hardirq handler is a style regression =E2=80=94 `spinlock`=
 would be sufficient and more efficient.

**panthor_sched.c =E2=80=94 `tick()` extraction:**
Clean refactoring to separate the guard-heavy wrapper from the core logic. =
The `tick()` function now uses `guard(mutex)(&sched->lock)` with early retu=
rns, which is clean.
