Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here's the "big" driver core updates for 4.4-rc1.  Primarily a bunch
  of debugfs updates, with a smattering of minor driver core fixes and
  updates as well.

  All have been in linux-next for a long time"

Kernel modules can be composed of several platform drivers. The platform core

provides helpers to register and unregister an array of drivers:



	int __platform_register_drivers(struct platform_driver * const *drivers,

				      unsigned int count, struct module *owner);

	void platform_unregister_drivers(struct platform_driver * const *drivers,

					 unsigned int count);



If one of the drivers fails to register, all drivers registered up to that

point will be unregistered in reverse order. Note that there is a convenience

macro that passes THIS_MODULE as owner parameter:



	#define platform_register_driver(drivers, count)
