*   deviceplugin has been extended to more gracefully handle the full device plugin lifecycle, including: ([#55088](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55088),[ @jiayingz](https://github.com/jiayingz))
    *   Kubelet now uses an explicit cm.GetDevicePluginResourceCapacity() function that makes it possible to more accurately determine what resources are inactive and return a more accurate view of available resources.
