Merge tag 'driver-core-4.21-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 patches for 4.21-rc1.

  It's not really big, just a number of small changes for some reported
  issues, some documentation updates to hopefully make it harder for
  people to abuse the driver model, and some other minor cleanups.

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

* tag 'driver-core-4.21-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core:
  mm, memory_hotplug: update a comment in unregister_memory()
  component: convert to DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE
  sysfs: Disable lockdep for driver bind/unbind files
  driver core: Add missing dev->bus->need_parent_lock checks
  kobject: return error code if writing /sys/.../uevent fails
  driver core: Move async_synchronize_full call
  driver core: platform: Respect return code of platform_device_register_full()
  kref/kobject: Improve documentation
  drivers/base/memory.c: Use DEVICE_ATTR_RO and friends
  driver core: Replace simple_strto{l,ul} by kstrtou{l,ul}
  kernfs: Improve kernfs_notify() poll notification latency
  kobject: Fix warnings in lib/kobject_uevent.c
  kobject: drop unnecessary cast "%llu" for u64
  driver core: fix comments for device_block_probing()
  driver core: Replace simple_strtol by kstrtoint
