Merge tag 'driver-core-5.7-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull driver core fixes from Greg KH:
 "So, turns out the kobject fix didn't quite work, so here are four
  patches that in the end, result in just two driver core fixes for
  reported issues that no one has had problems with.

  The kobject patch that was originally in here has now been reverted,
  as Guenter reported boot problems with it on some of his systems"
