Merge tag 'driver-core-5.18-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here are two small driver core changes for 5.18-rc2.

  They are the final bits in the removal of the default_attrs field in
  struct kobj_type. I had to wait until after 5.18-rc1 for all of the
  changes to do this came in through different development trees, and
  then one new user snuck in. So this series has two changes:

   - removal of the default_attrs field in the powerpc/pseries/vas code.

     The change has been acked by the PPC maintainers to come through
     this tree

   - removal of default_attrs from struct kobj_type now that all
     in-kernel users are removed.

     This cleans up the kobject code a little bit and removes some
     duplicated functionality that confused people (now there is only
     one way to do default groups)

  Both of these have been in linux-next for all of this week with no
  reported problems"
