Merge tag 'driver-core-5.16-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 driver core changes for 5.16-rc1.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while now with no reported
problems.
Included in here are:
- big update and cleanup of the sysfs abi documentation files and
scripts from Mauro. We are almost at the place where we can
properly check that the running kernel's sysfs abi is documented
fully.
- firmware loader updates
- dyndbg updates
- kernfs cleanups and fixes from Christoph
- device property updates
- component fix
- other minor driver core cleanups and fixes"
