This adds the nodename callback for struct class, struct device_type and
struct device, to allow drivers to send userspace hints on the device
name and subdirectory that should be used for it.

This patch adds a new bus notifier event which is emitted _after_ a
device is removed from its driver. This event will be used by the
dma-api debug code to check if a driver has released all dma allocations
for that device.

This patch removes the legacy callbacks -&gt;suspend() and

unused, and new code should instead make use of struct
dev_pm_ops.

Remove the -&gt;suspend_late() and -&gt;resume_early() callbacks
from struct bus_type V2. These callbacks are legacy stuff
at this point and since there seem to be no in-tree users
we may as well remove them. New users should use dev_pm_ops.

<title>Revert driver core: move platform_data into platform_device</title>

This reverts commit 006f4571a15fae3a0575f2a0f9e9b63b3d1012f8:

	This patch moves platform_data from struct device into
	struct platform_device, based on the two ideas:

	1. Now all platform_driver is registered by platform_driver_register,
	   which makes probe()/release()/... of platform_driver passed parameter
	   of platform_device *, so platform driver can get platform_data from
	   platform_device;

	2. Other kind of devices do not need to use platform_data, we can
	   decrease size of device if moving it to platform_device.

	Taking into consideration of thousands of files to be fixed and they
	can't be finished in one night(maybe it will take a long time), so we
	keep platform_data in device to allow two kind of cases coexist until
	all platform devices pass its platfrom data from
	platform_device-&gt;platform_data.

	All patches to do this kind of conversion are welcome.

As we don't really want to do it, it was a bad idea.

<title>driver synchronization: make scsi_wait_scan more advanced</title>

<id>d4d5291c8cd499b1b590336059d5cc3e24c1ced6</id>
<content type='text'>
There is currently only one way for userspace to say "wait for my storage
device to get ready for the modules I just loaded": to load the
scsi_wait_scan module. Expectations of userspace are that once this
module is loaded, all the (storage) devices for which the drivers
were loaded before the module load are present.

Now, there are some issues with the implementation, and the async
stuff got caught in the middle of this: The existing code only
waits for the scsy async probing to finish, but it did not take
into account at all that probing might not have begun yet.
(Russell ran into this problem on his computer and the fix works for him)

This patch fixes this more thoroughly than the previous "fix", which
had some bad side effects (namely, for kernel code that wanted to wait for
the scsi scan it would also do an async sync, which would deadlock if you did
it from async context already.. there's a report about that on lkml):
The patch makes the module first wait for all device driver probes, and then it
will wait for the scsi parallel scan to finish.

<title>dynamic debug: combine dprintk and dynamic printk</title>

<id>e9d376f0fa66bd630fe27403669c6ae6c22a868f</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic
printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'.

The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface,
(an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained
control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function,
file, module, format string, and line number.

for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack':

echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' &gt; /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

to disable them:

echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' &gt; /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

<title>Driver core: Fix device_move() vs. dpm list ordering, v2</title>

dpm_list currently relies on the fact that child devices will
be registered after their parents to get a correct suspend
order. Using device_move() however destroys this assumption, as
an already registered device may be moved under a newly registered
one.

This patch adds a new argument to device_move(), allowing callers
to specify how dpm_list should be adapted.

<title>Driver core: implement uevent suppress in kobject</title>

<id>f67f129e519fa87f8ebd236b6336fe43f31ee141</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch implements uevent suppress in kobject and removes it
from struct device, based on the following ideas:

1,Uevent sending should be one attribute of kobject, so suppressing it
in kobject layer is more natural than in device layer. By this way,
we can do it for other objects embedded with kobject.

2,It may save several bytes for each instance of struct device.(On my
omap3(32bit ARM) based box, can save 8bytes per device object)

This patch also introduces dev_set|get_uevent_suppress() helpers to
set and query uevent_suppress attribute in case to help kobject
as private part of struct device in future.

[This version is against the latest driver-core patch set of Greg,please
ignore the last version.]
