Here is the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.0-rc1.
"biggest" thing in here is some scalability improvements for kernfs for
large systems. Other than that, included in here are:
- arch topology and cache info changes that have been reviewed
and discussed a lot.
- potential error path cleanup fixes
- deferred driver probe cleanups
- firmware loader cleanups and tweaks
- documentation updates
- other small things
All of these have been in the linux-next tree for a while with no
reported problems.

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.
