Merge tag 'driver-core-3.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull driver core update from Greg KH:
 "Here's the set of driver core patches for 3.19-rc1.

  They are dominated by the removal of the .owner field in platform
  drivers.  They touch a lot of files, but they are "simple" changes,
  just removing a line in a structure.

  Other than that, a few minor driver core and debugfs changes.  There
  are some ath9k patches coming in through this tree that have been
  acked by the wireless maintainers as they relied on the debugfs
  changes.

  Everything has been in linux-next for a while"

* tag 'driver-core-3.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (324 commits)
  Revert "ath: ath9k: use debugfs_create_devm_seqfile() helper for seq_file entries"
  fs: debugfs: add forward declaration for struct device type
  firmware class: Deletion of an unnecessary check before the function call "vunmap"
  firmware loader: fix hung task warning dump
  devcoredump: provide a one-way disable function

  drivers: base: add cpu_device_create to support per-cpu devices
  topology: replace custom attribute macros with standard DEVICE_ATTR*
  cpumask: factor out show_cpumap into separate helper function
  driver core: Fix unbalanced device reference in drivers_probe
  driver core: fix race with userland in device_add()
  sysfs/kernfs: make read requests on pre-alloc files use the buffer.
  sysfs/kernfs: allow attributes to request write buffer be pre-allocated.
  fs: sysfs: return EGBIG on write if offset is larger than file size
