Merge tag 'driver-core-6.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the "big" set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.9-rc1.

  Nothing all that crazy here, just some good updates that include:

   - automatic attribute group hiding from Dan Williams (he fixed up my
     horrible attempt at doing this.)

   - kobject lock contention fixes from Eric Dumazet

   - driver core cleanups from Andy

   - kernfs rcu work from Tejun

   - fw_devlink changes to resolve some reported issues

   - other minor changes, all details in the shortlog

  All of these have been in linux-next for a long time with no reported
  issues"
