Merge tag 'driver-core-7.0-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/driver-core/driver-core
Pull driver core fix from Danilo Krummrich: - Revert "driver core: enforce device_lock for driver_match_device()": When a device is already present in the system and a driver is registered on the same bus, we iterate over all devices registered on this bus to see if one of them matches. If we come across an already bound one where the corresponding driver crashed while holding the device lock (e.g. in probe()) we can't make any progress anymore. Thus, revert and clarify that an implementer of struct bus_type must not expect match() to be called with the device lock held. * tag 'driver-core-7.0-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/driver-core/driver-core: Revert "driver core: enforce device_lock for driver_match_device()"
