Linus Torvalds dd27111e32 Driver core changes for 5.9-rc1
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.
