Merge tag 'driver-core-4.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the "small" driver core patches for 4.11-rc1.

  Not much here, some firmware documentation and self-test updates, a
  debugfs code formatting issue, and a new feature for call_usermodehelper
  to make it more robust on systems that want to lock it down in a more
  secure way.

  All of these have been linux-next for a while now with no reported
  issues"

* tag 'driver-core-4.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core:
  kernfs: handle null pointers while printing node name and path
  Introduce STATIC_USERMODEHELPER to mediate call_usermodehelper()
  Make static usermode helper binaries constant
  kmod: make usermodehelper path a const string
  firmware: revamp firmware documentation
  selftests: firmware: send expected errors to /dev/null
  selftests: firmware: only modprobe if driver is missing
  platform: Print the resource range if device failed to claim
  kref: prefer atomic_inc_not_zero to atomic_add_unless
  debugfs: improve formatting of debugfs_real_fops()
