Merge tag 'driver-core-4.10-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
Pull driver core updates from Greg KH: "Here's the new driver core patches for 4.10-rc1. Big thing here is the nice addition of "functional dependencies" to the driver core. The idea has been talked about for a very long time, great job to Rafael for stepping up and implementing it. It's been tested for longer than the 4.9-rc1 date, we held off on merging it earlier in order to feel more comfortable about it. Other than that, it's just a handful of small other patches, some good cleanups to the mess that is the firmware class code, and we have a test driver for the deferred probe logic. All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues" * tag 'driver-core-4.10-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (30 commits) firmware: Correct handling of fw_state_wait() return value driver core: Silence device links sphinx warning firmware: remove warning at documentation generation time drivers: base: dma-mapping: Fix typo in dmam_alloc_non_coherent comments driver core: test_async: fix up typo found by 0-day firmware: move fw_state_is_done() into UHM section firmware: do not use fw_lock for fw_state protection firmware: drop bit ops in favor of simple state machine firmware: refactor loading status firmware: fix usermode helper fallback loading driver core: firmware_class: convert to use class_groups driver core: devcoredump: convert to use class_groups driver core: class: add class_groups support kernfs: Declare two local data structures static driver-core: fix platform_no_drv_owner.cocci warnings drivers/base/memory.c: Remove unused 'first_page' variable driver core: add CLASS_ATTR_WO() drivers: base: cacheinfo: support DT overrides for cache properties drivers: base: cacheinfo: add pr_fmt logging drivers: base: cacheinfo: fix boot error message when acpi is enabled ...

+What: /sys/devices/.../deferred_probe
+Date: August 2016
+Contact: Ben Hutchings <ben.hutchings@codethink.co.uk>
+Description:
+ The /sys/devices/.../deferred_probe attribute is
+ present for all devices. If a driver detects during
+ probing a device that a related device is not yet
+ ready, it may defer probing of the first device. The
+ kernel will retry probing the first device after any
+ other device is successfully probed. This attribute
+ reads as 1 if probing of this device is currently
+ deferred, or 0 otherwise.
