Here is the "big" set of driver core patches for 4.17-rc1.
There's really not much here, just a bunch of firmware code refactoring
from Luis as he attempts to wrangle that codebase into something that is
managable, along with a bunch of userspace tests for it. Other than
that, a handful of small bugfixes and reverts of things that didn't work
out.
Full details are in the shortlog, it's not all that much.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues.

drivers: base: remove check for callback in coredump_store()
mt7601u: use firmware_request_cache() to address cache on reboot
firmware: add firmware_request_cache() to help with cache on reboot
firmware: fix typo on pr_info_once() when ignore_sysfs_fallback is used
firmware: explicitly include vmalloc.h
firmware: ensure the firmware cache is not used on incompatible calls
test_firmware: modify custom fallback tests to use unique files
firmware: add helper to check to see if fw cache is setup
firmware: fix checking for return values for fw_add_devm_name()
rename: _request_firmware_load() fw_load_sysfs_fallback()
test_firmware: test three firmware kernel configs using a proc knob
test_firmware: expand on library with shared helpers
firmware: enable to force disable the fallback mechanism at run time
firmware: enable run time change of forcing fallback loader
firmware: move firmware loader into its own directory
firmware: split firmware fallback functionality into its own file
firmware: move loading timeout under struct firmware_fallback_config
firmware: use helpers for setting up a temporary cache timeout
firmware: simplify CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK further
drivers: base: add description for .coredump() callback
...
request_firmware_cache() will ensure the firmware is available on resume
from suspend if on reboot the device retains the firmware.
This optimization is in place given otherwise on reboot we have to
reload the firmware, the opmization saves us about max 1s, minimum 10ms.
Cantabile has reported back this fixes his woes with both suspend and
hibernation.

A common pattern with skb_put() is to just want to memcpy()
some data into the new space, introduce skb_put_data() for
this.
An spatch similar to the one for skb_put_zero() converts many
of the places using it:
@@
identifier p, p2;
expression len, skb, data;
type t, t2;
@@
(
-p = skb_put(skb, len);
+p = skb_put_data(skb, data, len);

-p = (t)skb_put(skb, len);
+p = skb_put_data(skb, data, len);
)
(
p2 = (t2)p;
-memcpy(p2, data, len);

-memcpy(p, data, len);
)

type t, t2;

Function alloc_skb() will return a NULL pointer if there is no enough
memory. However, in function mt7601u_mcu_msg_alloc(), its return value
is not validated before it is used. This patch fixes it.

If the allocation of ivp fails the error handling attempts to
free an uninitialized dma_buf; this data structure just contains
garbage on the stack, so the freeing will cause issues when the
urb, buf and dma fields are free'd. Fix this by not free'ing the
dma_buf if the ivp allocation fails.

Add support for the simplest of MediaTek Wi-Fi devices - MT7601U.
It is a single stream bgn chip with no bells or whistles.
This driver is partially based on Felix's mt76 but IMHO it doesn't
make sense to merge the two right now because MT7601U is a design
somewhere between old Ralink devices and new Mediatek chips. There
wouldn't be all that much code sharing with the devices mt76 supports.
Situation may obviously change when someone decides to extend m76 with
support for the more recent USB dongles.
The driver supports only station mode. I'm hoping to add AP support
when time allows.
This driver sat on GitHub for quite a while and got some testing there:
