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

+Description:    Parameters for the CPU cache attributes
+
+                allocation_policy:
+                        - WriteAllocate: allocate a memory location to a cache line
+                                         on a cache miss because of a write
+                        - ReadAllocate: allocate a memory location to a cache line
+                                        on a cache miss because of a read
+                        - ReadWriteAllocate: both writeallocate and readallocate
+
+                attributes: LEGACY used only on IA64 and is same as write_policy
+
+                coherency_line_size: the minimum amount of data in bytes that gets
+                                     transferred from memory to cache
+
+                level: the cache hierarcy in the multi-level cache configuration
+
+                number_of_sets: total number of sets in the cache, a set is a
+                                collection of cache lines with the same cache index
+
+                physical_line_partition: number of physical cache line per cache tag
+
+                shared_cpu_list: the list of logical cpus sharing the cache
+
+                shared_cpu_map: logical cpu mask containing the list of cpus sharing
+                                the cache
+
+                size: the total cache size in kB
+
+                type:
+                        - Instruction: cache that only holds instructions
+                        - Data: cache that only caches data
+                        - Unified: cache that holds both data and instructions
+
+                ways_of_associativity: degree of freedom in placing a particular block
+                                        of memory in the cache
+
+                write_policy:
+                        - WriteThrough: data is written to both the cache line
+                                        and to the block in the lower-level memory
+                        - WriteBack: data is written only to the cache line and
+                                     the modified cache line is written to main
+                                     memory only when it is replaced
