Merge tag 'driver-core-6.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.4-rc1.

  Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening
  in the driver core in the quest to be able to move "struct bus" and
  "struct class" into read-only memory, a task now complete with these
  changes.

  This will make the future rust interactions with the driver core more
  "provably correct" as well as providing more obvious lifetime rules
  for all busses and classes in the kernel.

  The changes required for this did touch many individual classes and
  busses as many callbacks were changed to take const * parameters
  instead. All of these changes have been submitted to the various
  subsystem maintainers, giving them plenty of time to review, and most
  of them actually did so.

  Other than those changes, included in here are a small set of other
  things:

   - kobject logging improvements

   - cacheinfo improvements and updates

   - obligatory fw_devlink updates and fixes

   - documentation updates

   - device property cleanups and const * changes

   - firwmare loader dependency fixes.

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

-	  This option adds code that switches the layout of the "block" class
