Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the set of changes for the driver core for 5.17-rc1.
Lots of little things here, including:
- kobj_type cleanups
- auxiliary_bus documentation updates
- auxiliary_device conversions for some drivers (relevant subsystems
all have provided acks for these)
- kernfs lock contention reduction for some workloads
- other tiny cleanups and changes.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues"

Driver for the external-charger IRQ pass-through function of the
Intel Bay Trail Crystal Cove PMIC.
Note this is NOT a power_supply class driver, it just deals with IRQ
pass-through, this requires this separate driver because the PMIC's
level 2 interrupt for this must be explicitly acked.
This new driver gets enabled by the existing X86_ANDROID_TABLETS Kconfig
option because the x86-android-tablets module is the only consumer of the
exported external-charger IRQ.

Intel Platform Monitoring Technology (PMT) support is indicated by presence
of an Intel defined PCIe Designated Vendor Specific Extended Capabilities
(DVSEC) structure with a PMT specific ID. The current MFD implementation
creates child devices for each PMT feature, currently telemetry, watcher,
and crashlog. However DVSEC structures may also be used by Intel to
indicate support for other features. The Out Of Band Management Services
Module (OOBMSM) uses DVSEC to enumerate several features, including PMT.
In order to support them it is necessary to modify the intel_pmt driver to
handle the creation of the child devices more generically. To that end,
modify the driver to create child devices for any VSEC/DVSEC features on
supported devices (indicated by PCI ID). Additionally, move the
implementation from MFD to the Auxiliary bus. VSEC/DVSEC features are
really multifunctional PCI devices, not platform devices as MFD was
designed for. Auxiliary bus gives more flexibility by allowing the
definition of custom structures that can be shared between associated
auxiliary devices and the parent device. Also, rename the driver from
intel_pmt to intel_vsec to better reflect the purpose.
This series also removes the current runtime pm support which was not
complete to begin with. None of the current devices require runtime pm.
However the support will be replaced when a device is added that requires
it.

Dynamic BIOS SAR driver exposing dynamic SAR information from BIOS
The Dynamic SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) driver uses ACPI DSM
(Device Specific Method) to communicate with BIOS and retrieve
dynamic SAR information and change notifications. The driver uses
sysfs to expose this data to userspace via read and notify.
Sysfs interface is documented in detail under:
