    Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
     "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 dependency
      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"
