Merge tag 'driver-core-5.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
Pull driver core updates from Greg KH: "Here is the "big" set of changes to the driver core, and some drivers using the changes, for 5.9-rc1. "Biggest" thing in here is the device link exposure in sysfs, to help to tame the madness that is SoC device tree representations and driver interactions with it. Other stuff in here that is interesting is: - device probe log helper so that drivers can report problems in a unified way easier. - devres functions added - DEVICE_ATTR_ADMIN_* macro added to make it harder to write incorrect sysfs file permissions - documentation cleanups - ability for debugfs to be present in the kernel, yet not exposed to userspace. Needed for systems that want it enabled, but do not trust users, so they can still use some kernel functions that were otherwise disabled. - other minor fixes and cleanups The patches outside of drivers/base/ all have acks from the respective subsystem maintainers to go through this tree instead of theirs. All of these have been in linux-next with no reported issues" * tag 'driver-core-5.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (39 commits) drm/bridge: lvds-codec: simplify error handling drm/bridge/sii8620: fix resource acquisition error handling driver core: add deferring probe reason to devices_deferred property driver core: add device probe log helper driver core: Avoid binding drivers to dead devices Revert "test_firmware: Test platform fw loading on non-EFI systems" firmware_loader: EFI firmware loader must handle pre-allocated buffer selftest/firmware: Add selftest timeout in settings test_firmware: Test platform fw loading on non-EFI systems driver core: Change delimiter in devlink device's name to "--" debugfs: Add access restriction option tracefs: Remove unnecessary debug_fs checks. driver core: Fix probe_count imbalance in really_probe() kobject: remove unused KOBJ_MAX action driver core: Fix sleeping in invalid context during device link deletion driver core: Add waiting_for_supplier sysfs file for devices driver core: Add state_synced sysfs file for devices that support it driver core: Expose device link details in sysfs driver core: Drop mention of obsolete bus rwsem from kernel-doc debugfs: file: Remove unnecessary cast in kfree() ...
