Merge tag 'driver-core-5.3-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull driver core fixes from Greg KH:
 "Here are two small fixes for some driver core issues that have been
  reported. There is also a kernfs "fix" here, which was then reverted
  because it was found to cause problems in linux-next.

  The driver core fixes both resolve reported issues, one with gpioint
  stuff that showed up in 5.3-rc1, and the other finally (and hopefully)
  resolves a very long standing race when removing glue directories.
  It's nice to get that issue finally resolved and the developers
  involved should be applauded for the persistence it took to get this
  patch finally accepted.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  issues. Well, the one reported issue, hence the revert :)"

* tag 'driver-core-5.3-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core:
  Revert "kernfs: fix memleak in kernel_ops_readdir()"
  kernfs: fix memleak in kernel_ops_readdir()
  driver core: Fix use-after-free and double free on glue directory
  driver core: platform: return -ENXIO for missing GpioInt
