Patch series "ida: Remove the ida_simple_xxx() API", v3. These are the final steps in removing the ida_simple_xxx() API. This series was last proposed in August 2024. Since then, some users of the old API have be re-introduced and then removed. A first time in drivers/misc/rpmb-core.c, added in commit1e9046e3a1("rpmb: add Replay Protected Memory Block (RPMB) subsystem") (2024-08-26) and removed in commitdfc881abca("rpmb: Remove usage of the deprecated ida_simple_xx() API") (2024-10-13). A second time in drivers/gpio/gpio-mpsse.c, added in commitc46a74ff05("gpio: add support for FTDI's MPSSE as GPIO") (2024-10-14) and removed in commitf57c084928(gpio: mpsse: Remove usage of the deprecated ida_simple_xx() API) (2024-11-22). Since then, I've not spotted any new usage. So things being stable now, it's time to end this story once and for all. This patch (of 3): ida_alloc() and ida_free() should be preferred to the deprecated ida_simple_get() and ida_simple_remove(). Note that the upper limit of ida_simple_get() is exclusive, but the one of ida_alloc_range()/ida_alloc_max() is inclusive. But because of the ranges used for the tests, there is no need to adjust them. While at it remove some useless {}.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
