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

Pull driver core patches from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
 "Here is the big driver core merge for 3.9-rc1

  There are two major series here, both of which touch lots of drivers
  all over the kernel, and will cause you some merge conflicts:

   - add a new function called devm_ioremap_resource() to properly be
     able to check return values.

   - remove CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL

  Other than those patches, there's not much here, some minor fixes and
  updates"

Fix up trivial conflicts
