* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core-2.6:
  devtmpfs: unlock mutex in case of string allocation error
  Driver core: export platform_device_register_data as a GPL symbol
  driver core: Prevent reference to freed memory on error path
  Driver-core: Fix bogus 0 error return in device_add()
  Driver core: driver_attribute parameters can often be const*
  Driver core: bin_attribute parameters can often be const*
  Driver core: device_attribute parameters can often be const*
  Doc/stable rules: add new cherry-pick logic
  vfs: get_sb_single() - do not pass options twice
  devtmpfs: Convert dirlock to a mutex
