Merge tag 'driver-core-6.0-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
Pull driver core fixes from Greg KH: "Here are some small driver core and debugfs fixes for 6.0-rc5. Included in here are: - multiple attempts to get the arch_topology code to work properly on non-cluster SMT systems. First attempt caused build breakages in linux-next and 0-day, second try worked. - debugfs fixes for a long-suffering memory leak. The pattern of debugfs_remove(debugfs_lookup(...)) turns out to leak dentries, so add debugfs_lookup_and_remove() to fix this problem. Also fix up the scheduler debug code that highlighted this problem. Fixes for other subsystems will be trickling in over the next few months for this same issue once the debugfs function is merged. All of these have been in linux-next since Wednesday with no reported problems" * tag 'driver-core-6.0-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: arch_topology: Make cluster topology span at least SMT CPUs sched/debug: fix dentry leak in update_sched_domain_debugfs debugfs: add debugfs_lookup_and_remove() driver core: fix driver_set_override() issue with empty strings Revert "arch_topology: Make cluster topology span at least SMT CPUs" arch_topology: Make cluster topology span at least SMT CPUs
