Merge tag 'driver-core-4.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here's the driver-core / kobject / lz4 tree update for 4.1-rc1.

  Everything here has been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  issues.  It's mostly just coding style cleanups, with other minor
  changes in here as well, nothing big"

* tag 'driver-core-4.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (32 commits)
  debugfs: allow bad parent pointers to be passed in
  stable_kernel_rules: Add clause about specification of kernel versions to patch.
  kobject: WARN as tip when call kobject_get() to a kobject not initialized
  lib/lz4: Pull out constant tables
  drivers: platform: parse IRQ flags from resources
  driver core: Make probe deferral more quiet
  drivers/core/of: Add symlink to device-tree from devices with an OF node
  device: Add dev_of_node() accessor
  drivers: base: fw: fix ret value when loading fw
  firmware: Avoid manual device_create_file() calls
  drivers/base: cacheinfo: validate device node for all the caches
  drivers/base: use tabs where possible in code indentation
  driver core: add missing blank line after declaration
  drivers: base: node: Delete space after pointer declaration
  drivers: base: memory: Use tabs instead of spaces
