Merge tag 'driver-core-4.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
Pull driver core updates from Greg KH: "Here are all of the driver core and related patches for 4.19-rc1. Nothing huge here, just a number of small cleanups and the ability to now stop the deferred probing after init happens. All of these have been in linux-next for a while with only a merge issue reported" * tag 'driver-core-4.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (21 commits) base: core: Remove WARN_ON from link dependencies check drivers/base: stop new probing during shutdown drivers: core: Remove glue dirs from sysfs earlier driver core: remove unnecessary function extern declare sysfs.h: fix non-kernel-doc comment PM / Domains: Stop deferring probe at the end of initcall iommu: Remove IOMMU_OF_DECLARE iommu: Stop deferring probe at end of initcalls pinctrl: Support stopping deferred probe after initcalls dt-bindings: pinctrl: add a 'pinctrl-use-default' property driver core: allow stopping deferred probe after init driver core: add a debugfs entry to show deferred devices sysfs: Fix internal_create_group() for named group updates base: fix order of OF initialization linux/device.h: fix kernel-doc notation warning Documentation: update firmware loader fallback reference kobject: Replace strncpy with memcpy drivers: base: cacheinfo: use OF property_read_u32 instead of get_property,read_number kernfs: Replace strncpy with memcpy device: Add #define dev_fmt similar to #define pr_fmt ...
