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"

+			consumer/supplier relationships. This feature is
+			especially useful when drivers are loaded as modules as
+			it ensures proper ordering of tasks like device probing
+			(suppliers first, then consumers), supplier boot state
+			clean up (only after all consumers have probed),
+			suspend/resume & runtime PM (consumers first, then
+			suppliers).
+			Format: { off | permissive | on | rpm }

+			permissive -- Create device links from firmware info

+			on -- 	Create device links from firmware info and use it

+			rpm --	Like "on", but also use to order runtime PM.
