Merge tag 'driver-core-5.7-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 changes for 5.7-rc1.

  Nothing huge in here, just lots of little firmware core changes and
  use of new apis, a libfs fix, a debugfs api change, and some driver
  core deferred probe rework.

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