Merge tag 'driver-core-4.20-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is a small number of driver core patches for 4.20-rc1.

  Not much happened here this merge window, only a very tiny number of
  patches that do:

   - add BUS_ATTR_WO() for use by drivers

   - component error path fixes

   - kernfs range check fix

   - other tiny error path fixes and const changes

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

* tag 'driver-core-4.20-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core:
  devres: provide devm_kstrdup_const()
  mm: move is_kernel_rodata() to asm-generic/sections.h
  devres: constify p in devm_kfree()
  driver core: add BUS_ATTR_WO() macro
  kernfs: Fix range checks in kernfs_get_target_path
  component: fix loop condition to call unbind() if bind() fails
  drivers/base/devtmpfs.c: don't pretend path is const in delete_path
  kernfs: update comment about kernfs_path() return value
