Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
"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"
* tag 'driver-core-6.10-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core:
device property: Fix a typo in the description of device_get_child_node_count()
kernfs: mount: Remove unnecessary ‘NULL’ values from knparent
scsi: Use device_show_string() helper for sysfs attributes
platform/x86: Use device_show_string() helper for sysfs attributes
perf: Use device_show_string() helper for sysfs attributes
IB/qib: Use device_show_string() helper for sysfs attributes
hwmon: Use device_show_string() helper for sysfs attributes
driver core: Add device_show_string() helper for sysfs attributes
treewide: Use sysfs_bin_attr_simple_read() helper
sysfs: Add sysfs_bin_attr_simple_read() helper
module: don't ignore sysfs_create_link() failures
driver core: Remove unused platform_notify, platform_notify_remove
The parent field in struct acpi_device is, in fact, redundant,
because the dev.parent field in it effectively points to the same
object and it is used by the driver core.
Accordingly, the parent field can be dropped from struct acpi_device
and for this purpose define acpi_dev_parent() to retrieve a parent
struct acpi_device pointer from the dev.parent field in struct
acpi_device. Next, update all of the users of the parent field
in struct acpi_device to use acpi_dev_parent() instead of it and
drop it.
While at it, drop the ACPI_IS_ROOT_DEVICE() macro that is only used
in one place in a confusing way.
No intentional functional impact.

Forcefully unbinding PMU drivers during perf sampling will lead to
a kernel panic, because the perf upper-layer framework call a NULL
pointer in this situation.
To solve this issue, "suppress_bind_attrs" should be set to true, so
that bind/unbind can be disabled via sysfs and prevent unbinding PMU
drivers during perf sampling.

The perf infrastructure is used for userspace to track issues.
At least a good part of what's described here is related to
it.
So, add it to the admin-guide.

Rename the perf documentation files to ReST, add an
index for them and adjust in order to produce a nice html
output via the Sphinx build system.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

This adds a new dynamic PMU to the Perf Events framework to program
and control the L3 cache PMUs in some Qualcomm Technologies SOCs.
The driver supports a distributed cache architecture where the overall
cache for a socket is comprised of multiple slices each with its own PMU.
Access to each individual PMU is provided even though all CPUs share all
the slices. User space needs to aggregate to individual counts to provide
a global picture.
The driver exports formatting and event information to sysfs so it can
be used by the perf user space tools with the syntaxes:
perf stat -a -e l3cache_0_0/read-miss/
perf stat -a -e l3cache_0_0/event=0x21/
