Linux v4.17-rc3 (2018-04-29 14:17:42 -0700) are available in the Git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core.git/ tags/driver-core-4.18-rc1 for you to fetch changes up to 8c97a46af04b4f7c0a0dded031fef1806872e648: driver core: hold dev's parent lock when needed (2018-05-31 10:12:07 +0200) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Driver core changes for 4.18-rc1 Here is the driver core patchset for 4.18-rc1. The large chunk of these are firmware core documentation and api updates. Nothing major there, just better descriptions for others to be able to understand the firmware code better. There's also a user for a new firmware api call. Other than that, there are some minor updates for debugfs, kernfs, and the driver core itself. All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gre...@linuxfoundation.org> ---------------------------------------------------------------- Andres Rodriguez (6): firmware: wrap FW_OPT_* into an enum firmware: use () to terminate kernel-doc function names firmware: rename fw_sysfs_fallback to firmware_fallback_sysfs() firmware: add firmware_request_nowarn() - load firmware without warnings ath10k: use firmware_request_nowarn() to load firmware ath10k: re-enable the firmware fallback mechanism for testmode Andy Shevchenko (1): debugfs: Re-use kstrtobool_from_user() Arvind Yadav (1): mm: memory_hotplug: use put_device() if device_register fail Florian Schmaus (1): driver-core: return EINVAL error instead of BUG_ON() Greg Kroah-Hartman (1): Merge 4.17-rc3 into driver-core-next Luis R. Rodriguez (8): firmware_loader: document firmware_sysfs_fallback() firmware_loader: enhance Kconfig documentation over FW_LOADER firmware_loader: replace ---help--- with help firmware_loader: move kconfig FW_LOADER entries to its own file firmware_loader: make firmware_fallback_sysfs() print more useful Documentation: fix few typos and clarifications for the firmware loader Documentation: remove stale firmware API reference Documentation: clarify firmware_class provenance and why we can't rename the module Martin Liu (1): driver core: hold dev's parent lock when needed Mathieu Malaterre (1): driver core: add __printf verification to device_create_groups_vargs Souptick Joarder (1): fs: kernfs: Adding new return type vm_fault_t Tetsuo Handa (1): driver core: Don't ignore class_dir_create_and_add() failure.
