Pull driver core updates from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
 "Here's the large driver core updates for 3.8-rc1.

  The biggest thing here is the various __dev* marking removals.  This
  is going to be a pain for the merge with different subsystem trees, I
  know, but all of the patches included here have been ACKed by their
  various subsystem maintainers, as they wanted them to go through here.

  If this is too much of a pain, I can pull all of them out of this tree
  and just send you one with the other fixes/updates and then, after
  3.8-rc1 is out, do the rest of the removals to ensure we catch them
  all, it's up to you.  The merges should all be trivial, and Stephen
  has been doing them all in linux-next for a few weeks now quite
  easily.

  Other than the __dev* marking removals, there's nothing major here,
  some firmware loading updates and other minor things in the driver
  core.

  All of these have (much to Stephen's annoyance), been in linux-next
  for a while.

<title>platform / ACPI: Attach/detach ACPI PM during probe/remove/shutdown</title>

Drivers usually expect that the devices they are supposed to handle
will be operational when their .probe() routines are called, but that
need not be the case on some ACPI-based systems with ACPI-based
device enumeration where the BIOSes don't put devices into D0 by
default.  To work around this problem it is sufficient to change
bus type .probe() routines to ensure that devices will be powered
on before the drivers' .probe() routines run (and their .remove()
and .shutdown() routines accordingly).

Modify platform_drv_probe() to run acpi_dev_pm_attach() for devices
whose ACPI handles are present, so that ACPI power management is used
to change their power states.  Analogously, modify
platform_drv_remove() and platform_drv_shutdown() to call
acpi_dev_pm_detach() for those devices, so that they are not subject
to ACPI PM any more.

<title>ACPI / platform: Initialize ACPI handles of platform devices in advance</title>

<id>863f9f30e6c1e30cb19a0cd17c5cf8879257dfd7</id>
<content type='text'>
The current platform device creation and registration code in
acpi_create_platform_device() is quite convoluted.  This function
takes an ACPI device node as an argument and eventually calls
platform_device_register_resndata() to create and register a
platform device object on the basis of the information contained
in that code.  However, it doesn't associate the new platform
device with the ACPI node directly, but instead it relies on
acpi_platform_notify(), called from within device_add(), to find
that ACPI node again with the help of acpi_platform_find_device()
and acpi_platform_match() and then attach the new platform device
to it.  This causes an additional ACPI namespace walk to happen and
is clearly suboptimal.

Use the observation that it is now possible to initialize the ACPI
handle of a device before calling device_add() for it to make this
code more straightforward.  Namely, add a new field to struct
platform_device_info allowing us to pass the ACPI handle of interest
to platform_device_register_full(), which will then use it to
initialize the new device's ACPI handle before registering it.
This will cause acpi_platform_notify() to use the ACPI handle from
the device structure directly instead of using the .find_device()
routine provided by the device's bus type.  In consequence,
acpi_platform_bus, acpi_platform_find_device(), and
acpi_platform_match() are not necessary any more, so remove them.

With ACPI 5 it is now possible to enumerate traditional SoC
peripherals, like serial bus controllers and slave devices behind
them.  These devices are typically based on IP-blocks used in many
existing SoC platforms and platform drivers for them may already
be present in the kernel tree.

To make driver "porting" more straightforward, add ACPI support to
the platform bus type.  Instead of writing ACPI "glue" drivers for
the existing platform drivers, register the platform bus type with
ACPI to create platform device objects for the drivers and bind the
corresponding ACPI handles to those platform devices.

This should allow us to reuse the existing platform drivers for the
devices in question with the minimum amount of modifications.

This changeset is based on Mika Westerberg's and Mathias Nyman's
work.

This adds sparc support for platform_get_irq that in the normal case use
platform_get_resource() to get an irq. This standard approach fails for sparc as
there are no resources of type IORESOURCE_IRQ for irqs for sparc.

Cross platform drivers can then use this standard platform function and work on
sparc instead of having to have a special case for sparc.
