Driver core changes for 6.10-rc1

Here is the small set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.10-rc1.

Nothing major here at all, just a small set of changes for some driver
core apis, and minor fixups.  Included in here are:
  - sysfs_bin_attr_simple_read() helper added and used
  - device_show_string() helper added and used
All usages of these were acked by the various maintainers.  Also in here
are:
  - kernfs minor cleanup
  - removed unused functions
  - typo fix in documentation
  - pay attention to sysfs_create_link() failures in module.c finally.

All of these have been in linux-next for a very long time with no
reported problems.
