Linus Torvalds 9a3d7fd275 Driver core patches for 5.5-rc1
Here is the "big" set of driver core patches for 5.5-rc1
 
 There's a few minor cleanups and fixes in here, but the majority of the
 patches in here fall into two buckets:
   - debugfs api cleanups and fixes
   - driver core device link support for boot dependancy issues
 
 The debugfs api cleanups are working to slowly refactor the debugfs apis
 so that it is even harder to use incorrectly.  That work has been
 happening for the past few kernel releases and will continue over time,
 it's a long-term project/goal
 
 The driver core device link support missed 5.4 by just a bit, so it's
 been sitting and baking for many months now.  It's from Saravana Kannan
 to help resolve the problems that DT-based systems have at boot time
 with dependancy graphs and kernel modules.  Turns out that no one has
 actually tried to build a generic arm64 kernel with loads of modules and
 have it "just work" for a variety of platforms (like a distro kernel)
 The big problem turned out to be a lack of depandancy information
 between different areas of DT entries, and the work here resolves that
 problem and now allows devices to boot properly, and quicker than a
 monolith kernel.
 
 All of these patches have been in linux-next for a long time with no
 reported issues.
