Merge tag 'driver-core-4.16-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the set of "big" driver core patches for 4.16-rc1.

  The majority of the work here is in the firmware subsystem, with
  reworks to try to attempt to make the code easier to handle in the
  long run, but no functional change. There's also some tree-wide sysfs
  attribute fixups with lots of acks from the various subsystem
  maintainers, as well as a handful of other normal fixes and changes.

  And finally, some license cleanups for the driver core and sysfs code.

  All have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues"
