This series backports 15 patches to update minmax.h in the 6.6.y branch,
aligning it with v6.17-rc7.

The ultimate goal is to synchronize all longterm branches so that they
include the full set of minmax.h changes.

The key motivation is to bring in commit d03eba99f5bf ("minmax: allow
min()/max()/clamp() if the arguments have the same signedness"), which
is missing in older kernels.

In mainline, this change enables min()/max()/clamp() to accept mixed
argument types, provided both have the same signedness. Without it,
backported patches that use these forms may trigger compiler warnings,
which escalate to build failures when -Werror is enabled.

David Laight (7):
  minmax.h: add whitespace around operators and after commas
  minmax.h: update some comments
  minmax.h: reduce the #define expansion of min(), max() and clamp()
  minmax.h: use BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG() for the lo < hi test in clamp()
  minmax.h: move all the clamp() definitions after the min/max() ones
  minmax.h: simplify the variants of clamp()
  minmax.h: remove some #defines that are only expanded once

Linus Torvalds (8):
  minmax: avoid overly complicated constant expressions in VM code
  minmax: simplify and clarify min_t()/max_t() implementation
  minmax: add a few more MIN_T/MAX_T users
  minmax: make generic MIN() and MAX() macros available everywhere
  minmax: simplify min()/max()/clamp() implementation
  minmax: don't use max() in situations that want a C constant
    expression
  minmax: improve macro expansion and type checking
  minmax: fix up min3() and max3() too
