Merge tag 'driver-core-4.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
"Here are all of the driver core and related patches for 4.19-rc1.
Nothing huge here, just a number of small cleanups and the ability to
now stop the deferred probing after init happens.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with only a merge
issue reported"
