    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"
