This patch (as1509) documents two important points regarding the use
of device structures in the driver model:

	Structures must be initialized to all 0's before they are
	passed to device_initialize().

	Structures must not be passed to device_add() or
	device_register() more than once.

Although these restrictions have applied ever since the driver model
was first created, they have not been mentioned anywhere.

This resolves the conflict in the arch/arm/mach-s3c64xx/s3c6400.c file,
and it fixes the build error in the arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c
file, that the merge did not catch.

The microcode_core.c patch was provided by Stephen Rothwell
&lt;sfr@canb.auug.org.au&gt; who was invaluable in the merge issues involved
with the large sysdev removal process in the driver-core tree.

<title>driver-core: implement 'sysdev' functionality for regular devices and buses</title>

<content type='text'>
All sysdev classes and sysdev devices will converted to regular devices
and buses to properly hook userspace into the event processing.

There is no interesting difference between a 'sysdev' and 'device' which
would justify to roll an entire own subsystem with different userspace
export semantics. Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem
infrastructure from sysdev devices, which are currently not properly
available.

Every converted sysdev class will create a regular device with the class
name in /sys/devices/system and all registered devices will becom a children
of theses devices.

For compatibility reasons, the sysdev class-wide attributes are created
at this parent device. (Do not copy that logic for anything new, subsystem-
wide properties belong to the subsystem, not to some fake parent device
created in /sys/devices.)

Every sysdev driver is implemented as a simple subsystem interface now,
and no longer called a driver.

After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.

<title>PM / Driver core: leave runtime PM enabled during system shutdown</title>

<id>fe6b91f47080eb17d21cbf2a39311877d57f6938</id>
<content type='text'>
Disabling all runtime PM during system shutdown turns out not to be a
good idea, because some devices may need to be woken up from a
low-power state at that time.

The whole point of disabling runtime PM for system shutdown was to
prevent untimely runtime-suspend method calls.  This patch (as1504)
accomplishes the same result by incrementing the usage count for each
device and waiting for ongoing runtime-PM callbacks to finish.  This
is what we already do during system suspend and hibernation, which
makes sense since the shutdown method is pretty much a legacy analog
of the pm-&gt;poweroff method.

This fixes a recent regression on some OMAP systems introduced by
commit af8db1508f2c9f3b6e633e2d2d906c6557c617f9 (PM / driver core:
disable device's runtime PM during shutdown).

There may be an issue when the user issue "reboot/shutdown" command, then
the device has shut down its hardware, after that, this runtime-pm featured
device's driver will probably be scheduled to do its suspend routine,
and at its suspend routine, it may access hardware, but the device has
already shutdown physically, then the system hang may be occurred.

I ran out this issue using an auto-suspend supported USB devices, like
3G modem, keyboard. The usb runtime suspend routine may be scheduled
after the usb controller has been shut down, and the usb runtime suspend
routine will try to suspend its roothub(controller), it will access
register, then the system hang occurs as the controller is shutdown.

Unlike dynamic_pr_debug, dynamic uses of dev_dbg can not

Add a new function similar to dynamic_pr_debug to
optionally emit these prefixes.
