Merge tag 'driver-core-4.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
"Here's the "big" driver core updates for 4.4-rc1. Primarily a bunch
of debugfs updates, with a smattering of minor driver core fixes and
updates as well.
All have been in linux-next for a long time"
* tag 'driver-core-4.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core:
debugfs: Add debugfs_create_ulong()
of: to support binding numa node to specified device in devicetree
debugfs: Add read-only/write-only bool file ops
debugfs: Add read-only/write-only size_t file ops
debugfs: Add read-only/write-only x64 file ops
debugfs: Consolidate file mode checks in debugfs_create_*()
Revert "mm: Check if section present during memory block (un)registering"
driver-core: platform: Provide helpers for multi-driver modules
mm: Check if section present during memory block (un)registering
devres: fix a for loop bounds check
CMA: fix CONFIG_CMA_SIZE_MBYTES overflow in 64bit
base/platform: assert that dev_pm_domain callbacks are called unconditionally
sysfs: correctly handle short reads on PREALLOC attrs.
base: soc: siplify ida usage
kobject: move EXPORT_SYMBOL() macros next to corresponding definitions
kobject: explain what kobject's sd field is
debugfs: document that debugfs_remove*() accepts NULL and error values
debugfs: Pass bool pointer to debugfs_create_bool()
ACPI / EC: Fix broken 64bit big-endian users of 'global_lock'
