Merge tag 'driver-core-5.7-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull driver core fixes from Greg KH:
 "Here are a number of small driver core fixes for 5.7-rc5 to resolve a
  bunch of reported issues with the current tree.

  Biggest here are the reverts and patches from John Stultz to resolve a
  bunch of deferred probe regressions we have been seeing in 5.7-rc
  right now.

  Along with those are some other smaller fixes:

   - coredump crash fix

   - devlink fix for when permissive mode was enabled

   - amba and platform device dma_parms fixes

   - component error silenced for when deferred probe happens

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  issues"
