Merge tag 'driver-core-3.13-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull driver core / sysfs patches from Greg KH:
 "Here's the big driver core / sysfs update for 3.13-rc1.

  There's lots of dev_groups updates for different subsystems, as they
  all get slowly migrated over to the safe versions of the attribute
  groups (removing userspace races with the creation of the sysfs
  files.) Also in here are some kobject updates, devres expansions, and
  the first round of Tejun's sysfs reworking to enable it to be used by
  other subsystems as a backend for an in-kernel filesystem.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  issues"

* tag 'driver-core-3.13-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (83 commits)
  sysfs: rename sysfs_assoc_lock and explain what it's about
  sysfs: use generic_file_llseek() for sysfs_file_operations
  sysfs: return correct error code on unimplemented mmap()
  mdio_bus: convert bus code to use dev_groups
  device: Make dev_WARN/dev_WARN_ONCE print device as well as driver name
  sysfs: separate out dup filename warning into a separate function
  sysfs: move sysfs_hash_and_remove() to fs/sysfs/dir.c
  sysfs: remove unused sysfs_get_dentry() prototype

- *	Similar to sysfs_read_file(), though working in the opposite direction.
- *	We allocate and fill the data from the user in fill_write_buffer(),
- *	then push it to the kobject in flush_write_buffer().
- *	There is no easy way for us to know if userspace is only doing a partial
- *	write, so we don't support them. We expect the entire buffer to come
- *	on the first write.
- *	Hint: if you're writing a value, first read the file, modify only the
- *	the value you're changing, then write entire buffer back.
