Merge tag 'driver-core-4.18-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
Pull driver core updates from Greg KH: "Here is the driver core patchset for 4.18-rc1. The large chunk of these are firmware core documentation and api updates. Nothing major there, just better descriptions for others to be able to understand the firmware code better. There's also a user for a new firmware api call. Other than that, there are some minor updates for debugfs, kernfs, and the driver core itself. All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues" * tag 'driver-core-4.18-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (23 commits) driver core: hold dev's parent lock when needed driver-core: return EINVAL error instead of BUG_ON() driver core: add __printf verification to device_create_groups_vargs mm: memory_hotplug: use put_device() if device_register fail base: core: fix typo 'can by' to 'can be' debugfs: inode: debugfs_create_dir uses mode permission from parent debugfs: Re-use kstrtobool_from_user() Documentation: clarify firmware_class provenance and why we can't rename the module Documentation: remove stale firmware API reference Documentation: fix few typos and clarifications for the firmware loader ath10k: re-enable the firmware fallback mechanism for testmode ath10k: use firmware_request_nowarn() to load firmware firmware: add firmware_request_nowarn() - load firmware without warnings firmware_loader: make firmware_fallback_sysfs() print more useful firmware_loader: move kconfig FW_LOADER entries to its own file firmware_loader: replace ---help--- with help firmware_loader: enhance Kconfig documentation over FW_LOADER firmware_loader: document firmware_sysfs_fallback() firmware: rename fw_sysfs_fallback to firmware_fallback_sysfs() firmware: use () to terminate kernel-doc function names ...
