Linus Torvalds 9d230d500b Driver core changes for 6.16-rc1
Here are the driver core / kernfs changes for 6.16-rc1.
 
 Not a huge number of changes this development cycle, here's the summary
 of what is included in here:
   - kernfs locking tweaks, pushing some global locks down into a per-fs
     image lock
   - rust driver core and pci device bindings added for new features.
   - sysfs const work for bin_attributes.  This churn should now be
     completed for those types of attributes
   - auxbus device creation helpers added
   - fauxbus fix for creating sysfs files after the probe completed
     properly
   - other tiny updates for driver core things.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for over a week with no reported
 issues.

 "Here are the driver core / kernfs changes for 6.16-rc1.

  Not a huge number of changes this development cycle, here's the

   - kernfs locking tweaks, pushing some global locks down into a per-fs
     image lock

   - rust driver core and pci device bindings added for new features.

   - sysfs const work for bin_attributes.

     The final churn of switching away from and removing the
     transitional struct members, "read_new", "write_new" and
     "bin_attrs_new" will come after the merge window to avoid
     unnecesary merge conflicts.

   - auxbus device creation helpers added

   - fauxbus fix for creating sysfs files after the probe completed
     properly

   - other tiny updates for driver core things.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
