Merge branch 'driver-core-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core-2.6
* 'driver-core-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core-2.6: (44 commits) debugfs: Silence DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS=y warning sysfs: remove "last sysfs file:" line from the oops messages drivers/base/memory.c: fix warning due to "memory hotplug: Speed up add/remove when blocks are larger than PAGES_PER_SECTION" memory hotplug: Speed up add/remove when blocks are larger than PAGES_PER_SECTION SYSFS: Fix erroneous comments for sysfs_update_group(). driver core: remove the driver-model structures from the documentation driver core: Add the device driver-model structures to kerneldoc Translated Documentation/email-clients.txt RAW driver: Remove call to kobject_put(). reboot: disable usermodehelper to prevent fs access efivars: prevent oops on unload when efi is not enabled Allow setting of number of raw devices as a module parameter Introduce CONFIG_GOOGLE_FIRMWARE driver: Google Memory Console driver: Google EFI SMI x86: Better comments for get_bios_ebda() x86: get_bios_ebda_length() misc: fix ti-st build issues params.c: Use new strtobool function to process boolean inputs debugfs: move to new strtobool ... Fix up trivial conflicts in fs/debugfs/file.c due to the same patch being applied twice, and an unrelated cleanup nearby.

-Fields
-~~~~~~
-g_list: Node in the global device list.
-
-node: Node in device's parent's children list.
-
-bus_list: Node in device's bus's devices list.
-
-driver_list: Node in device's driver's devices list.
-
-intf_list: List of intf_data. There is one structure allocated for
- each interface that the device supports.
-
-children: List of child devices.
-
-parent: *** FIXME ***
-
-name: ASCII description of device.
- Example: " 3Com Corporation 3c905 100BaseTX [Boomerang]"
-
-bus_id: ASCII representation of device's bus position. This
- field should be a name unique across all devices on the
- bus type the device belongs to.
-
- Example: PCI bus_ids are in the form of
- <bus number>:<slot number>.<function number>
- This name is unique across all PCI devices in the system.
-
-lock: Spinlock for the device.
-
-refcount: Reference count on the device.
-
-bus: Pointer to struct bus_type that device belongs to.
-
-dir: Device's sysfs directory.
-
-class_num: Class-enumerated value of the device.
-
-driver: Pointer to struct device_driver that controls the device.
-
-driver_data: Driver-specific data.
-
-platform_data: Platform data specific to the device.
-
- Example: for devices on custom boards, as typical of embedded
- and SOC based hardware, Linux often uses platform_data to point
- to board-specific structures describing devices and how they
- are wired. That can include what ports are available, chip
- variants, which GPIO pins act in what additional roles, and so
- on. This shrinks the "Board Support Packages" (BSPs) and
- minimizes board-specific #ifdefs in drivers.
-
-current_state: Current power state of the device.
-
-saved_state: Pointer to saved state of the device. This is usable by
- the device driver controlling the device.
-
-release: Callback to free the device after all references have
- gone away. This should be set by the allocator of the
- device (i.e. the bus driver that discovered the device).
+See the kerneldoc for the struct device.
