Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the set of driver core patches for 5.8-rc1.
Not all that huge this release, just a number of small fixes and
updates:
- software node fixes
- kobject now sends KOBJ_REMOVE when it is removed from sysfs, not
when it is removed from memory (which could come much later)
- device link additions and fixes based on testing on more devices
- firmware core cleanups
- other minor changes, full details in the shortlog
All have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues"

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 Restructured Text 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.
