Merge tag 'driver-core-4.18-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the driver core patchset for 4.18-rc1.

  The large chunk of these are firmware core documentation and api
  updates. Nothing major there, just better descriptions for others to
  be able to understand the firmware code better. There's also a user
  for a new firmware api call.

  Other than that, there are some minor updates for debugfs, kernfs, and
  the driver core itself.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  issues"
