Here is the set of "big" driver core patches for 4.16-rc1.
The majority of the work here is in the firmware subsystem, with reworks
to try to attempt to make the code easier to handle in the long run, but
no functional change. There's also some tree-wide sysfs attribute
fixups with lots of acks from the various subsystem maintainers, as well
as a handful of other normal fixes and changes.
And finally, some license cleanups for the driver core and sysfs code.
All have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues.
