Merge tag 'driver-core-3.8-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
Pull driver core __dev* removal patches - take 3 - from Greg Kroah-Hartman: "Here are the remaining __dev* removal patches against the 3.8-rc2 tree. All of these patches were previously sent to the subsystem maintainers, most of them were picked up and pushed to you, but there were a number that fell through the cracks, and new drivers were added during the merge window, so this series cleans up the rest of the instances of these markings. Third time's the charm... Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>" Fixed up trivial conflict with the pinctrl pull in pinctrl-sirf.c. * tag 'driver-core-3.8-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (54 commits) misc: remove __dev* attributes. include: remove __dev* attributes.

o Do not mark the struct pci_driver.
- o The ID table array should be marked __devinitconst; this is done
- automatically if the table is declared with DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE().
-
- o The probe() and remove() functions should be marked __devinit
- and __devexit respectively. All initialization functions
- exclusively called by the probe() routine, can be marked __devinit.
- Ditto for remove() and __devexit.
-
- o If mydriver_remove() is marked with __devexit(), then all address
- references to mydriver_remove must use __devexit_p(mydriver_remove)
- (in the struct pci_driver declaration for example).
- __devexit_p() will generate the function name _or_ NULL if the
- function will be discarded. For an example, see drivers/net/tg3.c.
-
o Do NOT mark a function if you are not sure which mark to use.
Better to not mark the function than mark the function wrong.
