Merge tag 'driver-core-4.13-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 driver core update for 4.13-rc1.

  The large majority of this is a lot of cleanup of old fields in the
  driver core structures and their remaining usages in random drivers.
  All of those fixes have been reviewed by the various subsystem
  maintainers. There's also some small firmware updates in here, a new
  kobject uevent api interface that makes userspace interaction easier,
  and a few other minor things.

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

+/**
+ * fw_pm_notify - notifier for suspend/resume
+ * @notify_block: unused
+ * @mode: mode we are switching to
+ * @unused: unused
+ *
+ * Used to modify the firmware_class state as we move in between states.
+ * The firmware_class implements a firmware cache to enable device driver
+ * to fetch firmware upon resume before the root filesystem is ready. We
+ * disable API calls which do not use the built-in firmware or the firmware
+ * cache when we know these calls will not work.
+ *
+ * The inner logic behind all this is a bit complex so it is worth summarizing
+ * the kernel's own suspend/resume process with context and focus on how this
+ * can impact the firmware API.
+ *
+ * First a review on how we go to suspend::
+ *
+ *	pm_suspend() --> enter_state() -->
+ *	sys_sync()
+ *	suspend_prepare() -->
+ *		__pm_notifier_call_chain(PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE, ...);
+ *		suspend_freeze_processes() -->
+ *			freeze_processes() -->
+ *				__usermodehelper_set_disable_depth(UMH_DISABLED);
+ *				freeze all tasks ...
+ *			freeze_kernel_threads()
+ *	suspend_devices_and_enter() -->
+ *		dpm_suspend_start() -->
+ *				dpm_prepare()
+ *				dpm_suspend()
+ *		suspend_enter()  -->
+ *			platform_suspend_prepare()
+ *			dpm_suspend_late()
+ *			freeze_enter()
+ *			syscore_suspend()
+ *
+ * When we resume we bail out of a loop from suspend_devices_and_enter() and
+ * unwind back out to the caller enter_state() where we were before as follows::
+ *
+ * 	enter_state() -->
+ *	suspend_devices_and_enter() --> (bail from loop)
+ *		dpm_resume_end() -->
+ *			dpm_resume()
+ *			dpm_complete()
+ *	suspend_finish() -->
+ *		suspend_thaw_processes() -->
+ *			thaw_processes() -->
+ *				__usermodehelper_set_disable_depth(UMH_FREEZING);
+ *				thaw_workqueues();
+ *				thaw all processes ...
+ *				usermodehelper_enable();
+ *		pm_notifier_call_chain(PM_POST_SUSPEND);
+ *
+ * fw_pm_notify() works through pm_notifier_call_chain().
