Merge tag 'staging-3.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging

Pull staging tree update from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
 "Here's the big staging tree merge for 3.9-rc1

  Lots of cleanups and updates for drivers all through the staging tree.
  We are pretty much "code neutral" here, adding just about as many
  lines as we removed.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while."
