Merge tag 'driver-core-5.10-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the "big" set of driver core patches for 5.10-rc1
They include a lot of different things, all related to the driver core
and/or some driver logic:
- sysfs common write functions to make it easier to audit sysfs
attributes
- device connection cleanups and fixes
- devm helpers for a few functions
- NOIO allocations for when devices are being removed
- minor cleanups and fixes
All have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues"
