Merge branch 'driver-core-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
* 'driver-core-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (73 commits) arm: fix up some samsung merge sysdev conversion problems firmware: Fix an oops on reading fw_priv->fw in sysfs loading file Drivers:hv: Fix a bug in vmbus_driver_unregister() driver core: remove __must_check from device_create_file debugfs: add missing #ifdef HAS_IOMEM arm: time.h: remove device.h #include driver-core: remove sysdev.h usage. clockevents: remove sysdev.h arm: convert sysdev_class to a regular subsystem arm: leds: convert sysdev_class to a regular subsystem kobject: remove kset_find_obj_hinted() m86k: gpio - convert sysdev_class to a regular subsystem mips: txx9_sram - convert sysdev_class to a regular subsystem mips: 7segled - convert sysdev_class to a regular subsystem sh: dma - convert sysdev_class to a regular subsystem sh: intc - convert sysdev_class to a regular subsystem power: suspend - convert sysdev_class to a regular subsystem power: qe_ic - convert sysdev_class to a regular subsystem power: cmm - convert sysdev_class to a regular subsystem s390: time - convert sysdev_class to a regular subsystem ... Fix up conflicts with 'struct sysdev' removal from various platform drivers that got changed: - arch/arm/mach-exynos/cpu.c - arch/arm/mach-exynos/irq-eint.c - arch/arm/mach-s3c64xx/common.c - arch/arm/mach-s3c64xx/cpu.c - arch/arm/mach-s5p64x0/cpu.c - arch/arm/mach-s5pv210/common.c - arch/arm/plat-samsung/include/plat/cpu.h - arch/powerpc/kernel/sysfs.c and fix up cpu_is_hotpluggable() as per Greg in include/linux/cpu.h
