There are of course not a whole lot of examples in-tree yet, but before they appear, let's make this API change: Instead of separately allocating a 'struct cyclic_info', make the users embed such an instance in their own structure, and make the convention that the callback simply receives the 'struct cyclic_info *', from which the clients can get their own data using the container_of() macro. This has a number of advantages. First, it means cyclic_register() simply cannot fail, simplifying the code. The necessary storage will simply be allocated automatically when the client's own structure is allocated (often via uclass_priv_auto or similar). Second, code for which CONFIG_CYCLIC is just an option can more easily be written without #ifdefs, if we just provide an empty struct cyclic_info {}. For example, the nested CONFIG_IS_ENABLED()s in https://lore.kernel.org/u-boot/20240316201416.211480-1-marek.vasut+renesas@mailbox.org/ are mostly due to the existence of the 'struct cyclic_info *' member being guarded by #ifdef CONFIG_CYCLIC. And we do probably want to avoid the extra memory overhead of that member when !CONFIG_CYCLIC. But that is automatic if, instead of a 'struct cyclic_info *', one simply embeds a 'struct cyclic_info', which will have size 0 when !CONFIG_CYCLIC. Also, the no-op cyclic_register() function can just unconditionally be called, and the compiler will see that (1) the callback is referenced, so not emit a warning for a maybe-unused function and (2) see that it can actually never be reached, so not emit any code for it.
