2222c313e9 sparc64: fix up bus_id changes in sparc core code
This converts all instances of bus_id in the sparc core kernel to use
either dev_set_name(), or dev_name() depending on the need.

This is done in anticipation of removing the bus_id field from struct
driver.

89bcb05d9b HP iLO driver
A driver for the HP iLO/iLO2 management processor, which allows userspace
programs to query the management processor.  Programs can open a channel
to the device (/dev/hpilo/dXccbN), and use this to send/receive queries.  
The O_EXCL open flag is used to indicate that a particular channel cannot
be shared between processes.  This driver will replace various packages
HP has shipped, including hprsm and hp-ilo.

9800794ac1 sysdev: Add utility functions for simple int/ulong variable sysdev attributes
This adds a new sysdev_ext_attribute that stores a pointer to the variable
it manages and some utility functions/macro to easily use them.

Previously all users wrote custom macros to generate show/store
functions for each variable, with this it is possible to avoid
that in many cases.

4a0b2b4dbe sysdev: Pass the attribute to the low level sysdev show/store function
This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store
functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated
by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute
passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute
and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things.

I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86
machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups.

I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype. It's a single
huge patch to avoid unbisectable sections.

83c79b55f0 sysfs-rules.txt: reword API stability statement
The first paragraph of this document implies that user space developers
shouldn't use sysfs at all, but then it goes on to describe rules that
developers should follow when accessing sysfs.  Not only is this somewhat
self-contradictory, it has been shown to discourage developers from using
established sysfs interfaces.

A note of caution is more appropriate than a blanket "sysfs will never
be stable" assertion.

debugfs_remove_recursive() will remove a dentry and all its children.
Drivers can use this to zap their whole debugfs tree so that they don't
need to keep track of every single debugfs dentry they created.

It may fail to remove the whole tree in certain cases:

sh-3.2# rmmod atmel-mci < /sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/ios/clock
mmc0: card b368 removed
atmel_mci atmel_mci.0: Lost dma0chan1, falling back to PIO

But I'm not sure if that case can be handled in any sane manner.

d9b19199e4 always enable FW_LOADER unless EMBEDDED=y
James Bottomley recently discovered that we have
{request,release}_firmware() dummies for the case of the actual
functions not being available and has a fix for the bug that was
actually causing build errors for built-in users with
CONFIG_FW_LOADER=m.

But now missing selects on FW_LOADER are no longer visible at
compile-time at all and can become runtime problems.

FW_LOADER is infrastructure with relatively small codesize we can safely
enable for everyone, and only for people who really need small kernels
(and can be expected to know what they are doing) it matters being able
to disable it.

This patch therefore always sets FW_LOADER=y and allows users only to
disable it with EMBEDDED=y.

As a bonus, we can then get rid of all "select FW_LOADER" plus the due
to it required "depends on HOTPLUG" which removes some complexity from
our Kconfig files.

838ea8e8db sysdev: fix debugging statements in registration code.
The systdev_class_register() and sysdev_register() functions have
pr_debug() statements which are enabled when the user selects the
driver core debug. Both of these routines do not produce the
correct output, as they make assumptions about data which has not
been initialised.

In sysdev_class_register() the code uses the kobject_name(&cls->kset.kobj)
at the start of the function, but this is not setup until later in the
same call. Change this to use cls->name which is passed in from the caller.

The sysdev_register() function tries to get the name of the sysdev by
kobject_name(&sysdev->kobj), but that isn't setup until later in the same
function so change this message to use the name of the sysdev's class and
add another message once the name is initialised.

4d80d59437 UIO: add generic UIO platform driver
This patch adds a generic UIO platform driver. It eliminates the need for a
dedicated kernel module for simple platform devices. Users only need to
implement their irq handler in platform code and fill a struct uio_info
there. This helps avoiding code duplication as UIO platform drivers often
share a lot of common code.

328a14e70e UIO: Add write function to allow irq masking
Sometimes it is necessary to enable/disable the interrupt of a UIO device
from the userspace part of the driver. With this patch, the UIO kernel driver
can implement an "irqcontrol()" function that does this. Userspace can write
an s32 value to /dev/uioX (usually 0 or 1 to turn the irq off or on). The
UIO core will then call the driver's irqcontrol function.

695794ae0c Driver Core: add ability for class_find_device to start in middle of list
This mirrors the functionality that driver_find_device has as well.

We add a start variable, and all callers of the function are fixed up at
the same time.

The block layer will be using this new functionality in a follow-on
patch.

4e10673944 device create: convert device_create_drvdata to device_create
Now that device_create() has been audited, rename things back to the
original call to be sane.

Keep the device_create_drvdata macro around to make merges easier.

ccea44fadc driver core: remove device_create()
There are no more users of this, and it is racy.  Use
device_create_drvdata() or device_create_vargs() instead.
