  driver core: hold dev's parent lock when needed (2018-05-31 10:12:07 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Driver core changes for 4.18-rc1

Here is the driver core patchset for 4.18-rc1.

The large chunk of these are firmware core documentation and api
updates.  Nothing major there, just better descriptions for others to be
able to understand the firmware code better.  There's also a user for a
new firmware api call.

Other than that, there are some minor updates for debugfs, kernfs, and
the driver core itself.

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