Merge tag 'driver-core-5.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull driver core updates from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
 "Here is the big driver core update for 5.4-rc1.

  There was a bit of a churn in here, with a number of core and OF
  platform patches being added to the tree, and then after much
  discussion and review and a day-long in-person meeting, they were
  decided to be reverted and a new set of patches is currently being
  reviewed on the mailing list.

  Other than that churn, there are two "persistent" branches in here
  that other trees will be pulling in as well during the merge window.
  One branch to add support for drivers to have the driver core
  automatically add sysfs attribute files when a driver is bound to a
  device so that the driver doesn't have to manually do it (and then
  clean it up, as it always gets it wrong).

  There's another branch in here for generic lookup helpers for the
  driver core that lots of busses are starting to use. That's the
  majority of the non-driver-core changes in this patch series.

  There's also some on-going debugfs file creation cleanup that has been
  slowly happening over the past few releases, with the goal to
  hopefully get that done sometime next year.

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

[ Note that the above-mentioned generic lookup helpers branch was
  already brought in by the LED merge (commit 4feaab05) that had
  shared it.

  Also note that that common branch introduced an i2c bug due to a bad
  conversion, which got fixed here. - Linus ]
