Linus Torvalds 556eb8b791 Driver core changes for 6.4-rc1
Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.4-rc1.
 
 Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening in
 the driver core in the quest to be able to move "struct bus" and "struct
 class" into read-only memory, a task now complete with these changes.
 
 This will make the future rust interactions with the driver core more
 "provably correct" as well as providing more obvious lifetime rules for
 all busses and classes in the kernel.
 
 The changes required for this did touch many individual classes and
 busses as many callbacks were changed to take const * parameters
 instead.  All of these changes have been submitted to the various
 subsystem maintainers, giving them plenty of time to review, and most of
 them actually did so.
 
 Other than those changes, included in here are a small set of other
 things:
   - kobject logging improvements
   - cacheinfo improvements and updates
   - obligatory fw_devlink updates and fixes
   - documentation updates
   - device property cleanups and const * changes
   - firwmare loader dependency fixes.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
 problems.
