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"
