Linus Torvalds 6dc69d3d0d driver core changes for 5.17-rc1
Here is the set of changes for the driver core for 5.17-rc1.
 
 Lots of little things here, including:
 	- kobj_type cleanups
 	- auxiliary_bus documentation updates
 	- auxiliary_device conversions for some drivers (relevant
 	  subsystems all have provided acks for these)
 	- kernfs lock contention reduction for some workloads
 	- other tiny cleanups and changes.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
 issues.
