[GIT PULL] Driver core fixes for 7.0-rc3

[Danilo Krummrich]

Hi Linus,

Please pull the following revert; no other fixes included.

It has been in linux-next for a couple rounds; no conflicts expected.

Please expect a follow-up regarding the driver_override issue for likely
-rc4 or -rc5.

Driver core fixes for 7.0-rc3

- 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.
