Pete Zaitcev f1c9e30b5e usbmon: Extended text API
This patch adds a new text API, codenamed '1u', which captures more URB
fields than old '1t' interface did. Also the '1u' text API is compatible
with the future "bus zero" extension.

Oliver Neukum ba35e02bdc USB: fix skeleton driver
compilation of the skeleton driver is currently broken. It doesn't compile.
So while I am it:

- fix typo
- add comments to answer common questions
- actually allow autosuspend in the driver struct
- increase paralellism by restricting code under locks

Make the pxa2xx_udc driver fetch its IRQ from platform resources
rather than using compile-time constants, so that it works properly
on IXP4xx systems not just PXA21x/25x/26x.

 - Do that using platform_get_irq()
 - Switch to platform_driver_probe()
 - Handle device_add() errors
 - Remove "function" sysfs attribute and its potential errors

After some more discussion this patch replaces it:

From: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>
Subject: suspend: add arch irq disable/enable hooks

For powermac, we need to do some things between suspending devices and
device_power_off, for example setting the decrementer. This patch
allows architectures to define arch_s2ram_{en,dis}able_irqs in their
asm/suspend.h to have control over this step.

David Brownell 075c177152 define platform wakeup hook, use in pci_enable_wake()
This defines a platform hook to enable/disable a device as a wakeup event
source.  It's initially for use with ACPI, but more generally it could be used
whenever enable_irq_wake()/disable_irq_wake() don't suffice.

The hook is called -- if available -- inside pci_enable_wake(); and the
semantics of that call are enhanced so that support for PCI PME# is no longer
needed.  It can now work for devices with "legacy PCI PM", when platform
support allows it.  (That support would use some board-specific signal for for
the same purpose as PME#.)

James Morris 057f6c019f security: prevent permission checking of file removal via sysfs_remove_group()
Prevent permission checking from being performed when the kernel wants to
unconditionally remove a sysfs group, by introducing an kernel-only variant
of lookup_one_len(), lookup_one_len_kern().

Additionally, as sysfs_remove_group() does not check the return value of
the lookup before using it, a BUG_ON has been added to pinpoint the cause
of any problems potentially caused by this (and as a form of annotation).

Cornelia Huck fa1a8c23eb s390: cio: Delay uevents for subchannels
We often have the situation that we register a subchannel and start device
recognition, only to find out that the device is not usable after all, which
triggers an unregister of the subchannel.  This often happens on hundreds of
subchannels on a LPAR, leading to a storm of events which aren't of any use. 
Therefore, use uevent_suppress to delay the KOBJ_ADD uevent for a subchannel
until we know that its ccw_device is to be registered.

Greg Kroah-Hartman 74e9f5fa15 Driver core: remove unneeded completion from driver release path
The completion in the driver release path is due to ancient history in
the _very_ early 2.5 days when we were not tracking the module reference
count of attributes.  It is not needed at all and can be removed.

Note, we now have an empty release function for the driver structure.
This is due to the fact that drivers are statically allocated in the
system at this point in time, something which I want to change in the
future.  But remember, drivers are really code, which is reference
counted by the module, unlike devices, which are data and _must_ be
reference counted properly in order to work correctly.

Cornelia Huck 21c7f30b1d driver core: per-subsystem multithreaded probing
Make multithreaded probing work per subsystem instead of per driver.

It doesn't make much sense to probe the same device for multiple drivers in
parallel (after all, only one driver can bind to the device).  Instead, create
a probing thread for each device that probes the drivers one after another. 
Also make the decision to use multi-threaded probe per bus instead of per
device and adapt the pci code.

- correct function name in comments
 - parrent assignment does metter only inside "if" block, 
   so move it inside this block.

Kay Sievers 414264f959 Driver core: add name to device_type
If "name" of a device_type is specified, the uevent will
contain the device_type name in the DEVTYPE variable.
This helps userspace to distingiush between different types
of devices, belonging to the same subsystem.

Dmitry Torokhov 621a1672f7 driver core: Use attribute groups in struct device_type
Driver core: use attribute groups in struct device_type

Attribute groups are more flexible than attribute lists
(an attribute list can be represented by anonymous group)
so switch struct device_type to use them.

Also rework attribute creation for devices so that they all
cleaned up properly in case of errors.
