Linus Torvalds a93e884edf Driver core changes for 6.3-rc1
Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.3-rc1.
 
 There's a lot of changes this development cycle, most of the work falls
 into two different categories:
   - fw_devlink fixes and updates.  This has gone through numerous review
     cycles and lots of review and testing by lots of different devices.
     Hopefully all should be good now, and Saravana will be keeping a
     watch for any potential regression on odd embedded systems.
   - driver core changes to work to make struct bus_type able to be moved
     into read-only memory (i.e. const)  The recent work with Rust has
     pointed out a number of areas in the driver core where we are
     passing around and working with structures that really do not have
     to be dynamic at all, and they should be able to be read-only making
     things safer overall.  This is the contuation of that work (started
     last release with kobject changes) in moving struct bus_type to be
     constant.  We didn't quite make it for this release, but the
     remaining patches will be finished up for the release after this
     one, but the groundwork has been laid for this effort.
 
 Other than that we have in here:
   - debugfs memory leak fixes in some subsystems
   - error path cleanups and fixes for some never-able-to-be-hit
     codepaths.
   - cacheinfo rework and fixes
   - Other tiny fixes, full details are in the shortlog
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
 problems.

[ Geert Uytterhoeven points out that that last sentence isn't true, and
  that there's a pending report that has a fix that is queued up - Linus ]
