    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull device properties framework updates from Rafael Wysocki:
     "This introduces 'software nodes' that are analogous to the DT and ACPI
      firmware nodes except that they can be created by drivers themselves
      and do a couple of assorted cleanups.
    
      Specifics:
    
       - Introduce "software nodes", analogous to the DT and ACPI firmware
         nodes except that they can be created by kernel code, in order to
         complement fwnodes representing real firmware nodes when they are
         incomplete (for example missing device properties) and to supply
         the primary fwnode when the firmware lacks hardware description for
         a device completely, and replace the "property_set" struct
         fwnode_handle type with software nodes (Heikki Krogerus).
    
       - Clean up the just introduced software nodes support and fix a
         commet in the graph-handling code (Colin Ian King, Marco Felsch)"
