Merge tag 'driver-core-5.8-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git...

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the set of driver core patches for 5.8-rc1.

  Not all that huge this release, just a number of small fixes and
  updates:

   - software node fixes

   - kobject now sends KOBJ_REMOVE when it is removed from sysfs, not
     when it is removed from memory (which could come much later)

   - device link additions and fixes based on testing on more devices

   - firmware core cleanups

   - other minor changes, full details in the shortlog

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