Merge tag 'driver-core-3.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull driver core patches for 3.4-rc1 from Greg KH:
 "Here's the big driver core merge for 3.4-rc1.

  Lots of various things here, sysfs fixes/tweaks (with the nlink
  breakage reverted), dynamic debugging updates, w1 drivers, hyperv
  driver updates, and a variety of other bits and pieces, full
  information in the shortlog."

+Description:
+                The /sys/devices/ directory contains a sub-directory for each
+                System-on-Chip (SoC) device on a running platform. Information
+                regarding each SoC can be obtained by reading sysfs files. This
+                functionality is only available if implemented by the platform.
+
+                The directory created for each SoC will also house information
+                about devices which are commonly contained in /sys/devices/platform.
+                It has been agreed that if an SoC device exists, its supported
+                devices would be better suited to appear as children of that SoC.

+contact:        Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org>
+Description:
+                Read-only attribute common to all SoCs. Contains the SoC machine
+                name (e.g. Ux500).

+Description:
+                Read-only attribute common to all SoCs. Contains SoC family name
+                (e.g. DB8500).

+Description:
+                Read-only attribute supported by most SoCs. In the case of
+                ST-Ericsson's chips this contains the SoC serial number.

+Description:
+                Read-only attribute supported by most SoCs. Contains the SoC's
+                manufacturing revision number.

+Description:
+                The /sys/bus/soc/ directory contains the usual sub-folders
+                expected under most buses. /sys/bus/soc/devices is of particular
+                interest, as it contains a symlink for each SoC device found on
+                the system. Each symlink points back into the aforementioned
+                /sys/devices/socX devices.
