driver core: Update device link status correctly for SYNC_STATE_ONLY links (2020-05-27 12:20:47 +0200)

Driver core patches for 5.8-rc1

Here is the set of driver core patches for 5.8-rc1.

Not all that huge this release, just a number of small fixes and
updates:
- software node fixes
- kobject now sends KOBJ_REMOVE when it is removed from sysfs,
not when it is removed from memory (which could come much
later)
- device link additions and fixes based on testing on more
devices
- firmware core cleanups
- other minor changes, full details in the shortlog

All have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues.
