Merge tag 'driver-core-6.10-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the small set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.10-rc1.

  Nothing major here at all, just a small set of changes for some driver
  core apis, and minor fixups. Included in here are:

   - sysfs_bin_attr_simple_read() helper added and used

   - device_show_string() helper added and used

  All usages of these were acked by the various maintainers. Also in
  here are:

   - kernfs minor cleanup

   - removed unused functions

   - typo fix in documentation

   - pay attention to sysfs_create_link() failures in module.c finally

  All of these have been in linux-next for a very long time with no
  reported problems"
