Merge tag 'driver-core-4.17-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull driver core fixes from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
 "Here are some small driver core and firmware fixes for 4.17-rc3

  There's a kobject WARN() removal to make syzkaller a lot happier about
  some "normal" error paths that it keeps hitting, which should reduce
  the number of false-positives we have been getting recently.

  There's also some fimware test and documentation fixes, and the
  coredump() function signature change that needed to happen after -rc1
  before drivers started to take advantage of it.

  All of these have been in linux-next with no reported issues"

* tag 'driver-core-4.17-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core:

Some devices have an optimization in place to enable the firmware to be
retained during system reboot. When such optimizations are used the driver
author must ensure the firmware is still available on resume from suspend,
this can be done with firmware_request_cache() insted of requesting for the
firmare to be loaded.
