Linus Torvalds d90be6e4aa Driver core changes for 6.10-rc1
Here is the small set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.10-rc1.
 
 Nothing major here at all, just a small set of changes for some driver
 core apis, and minor fixups.  Included in here are:
   - sysfs_bin_attr_simple_read() helper added and used
   - device_show_string() helper added and used
 All usages of these were acked by the various maintainers.  Also in here
 are:
   - kernfs minor cleanup
   - removed unused functions
   - typo fix in documentation
   - pay attention to sysfs_create_link() failures in module.c finally.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a very long time with no
 reported problems.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
