Here is a small set of patches for the driver core code for 6.12-rc1.
This set is the one that caused the most delay on my side, due to lots
of last-minute reports of problems in the async shutdown feature that
was added. In the end, I've reverted all of the patches in that series
so we are back to "normal" and the patch set is being reworked for the
next merge window.
Other than the async shutdown patches that were reverted, included in
here are:
- minor driver core cleanups
- minor driver core bus and class api cleanups and simplifications for
some callbacks
- some const markings of structures
- other even more minor cleanups
All of these, including the last minute reverts, have been in
linux-next, but all of the reports of problems in linux-next were before
the reverts happened. After the reverts, all is good.
