- Add helpers to count items in a property array (Andy Shevchenko).
- Extend "software nodes" support to be more convenient for
representing device properties supplied by drivers (Heikki
Krogerus).
- Add device_find_child_by_name() helper to the driver core (Heikki
Krogerus).
- Extend device connection code to also look for references provided
via fwnode pointers (Heikki Krogerus).
- Start to register proper struct device objects for USB Type-C
muxes and orientation switches (Heikki Krogerus).
- Update the intel_cht_int33fe driver to describe devices in a more
general way with the help of "software nodes" (Heikki Krogerus).

Pull device properties framework updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"These add helpers for counting items in a property array and extend
the "software nodes" support to be more convenient for representing
device properties supplied by drivers and make the intel_cht_int33fe
driver use that.
Specifics:
- Add helpers to count items in a property array (Andy Shevchenko).
- Extend "software nodes" support to be more convenient for
representing device properties supplied by drivers (Heikki
Krogerus).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
