Merge tag 'driver-core-4.17-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull driver core fixes from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
 "Here are some small driver core and firmware fixes for 4.17-rc3

  There's a kobject WARN() removal to make syzkaller a lot happier about
  some "normal" error paths that it keeps hitting, which should reduce
  the number of false-positives we have been getting recently.

  There's also some fimware test and documentation fixes, and the
  coredump() function signature change that needed to happen after -rc1
  before drivers started to take advantage of it.

  All of these have been in linux-next with no reported issues"

* tag 'driver-core-4.17-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core:
  firmware: some documentation fixes
  selftests:firmware: fixes a call to a wrong function name
  kobject: don't use WARN for registration failures
  firmware: Fix firmware documentation for recent file renames
  test_firmware: fix setting old custom fw path back on exit, second try
  test_firmware: Install all scripts
  drivers: change struct device_driver::coredump() return type to void
