[GIT PATCH] Driver Core fixes for 2.6.16-rc2

[GIT PATCH] Driver Core fixes for 2.6.16-rc2

[Greg KH]

Here are some driver core fixes for 2.6.16-rc2.  They have all been in
the last -mm with no problems.  They contain the following things:
	- buffer overflow from input MODALIAS expansion
	- spi Kconfig fixes
	- fix IB and DRM's usage of sysfs dev files (both acked by the
	  various subsystem maintainers).
	- oops fix in driver core with power files
	- build warning fixes
	- make it harder to use kobjects incorrectly (fixes an oops).

Please pull from:
	rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-2.6.git/
or if master.kernel.org hasn't synced up yet:
	master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-2.6.git/

The full patch set will be sent to the linux-kernel mailing list, if
anyone wants to see them.

thanks,

greg k-h

[PATCH] DRM: fix up classdev interface for drm core

Current drm code doesn't work with userspace programs that listen only
to the kernel event netlink socket as it is trying to create its own dev
interface.  Turns out lots of code can just be deleted as the driver
core can do all of this work automatically for you.

unneeded code as the driver core handles this logic for you

[PATCH] SPI: spi_butterfly, restore lost deltas

[PATCH] SPI: spi_butterfly, restore lost deltas

This resolves some minor version skew glitches that accumulated for the AVR
Butterfly adapter driver, which caused among other things the existence of
a duplicate Kconfig entry.  Most of it boils down to comment updates, but in
one case it removes some now-superfluous code that would be better if not
copied into other controller-level drivers.

[PATCH] kobject: don't oops on null kobject.name

[PATCH] kobject: don't oops on null kobject.name

kobject_get_path() will oops if one of the component names is
NULL.  Fix that by returning NULL instead of oopsing.

[PATCH] kobject_add() must have a valid name in order to succeed.

[Greg KH]

[PATCH] kobject_add() must have a valid name in order to succeed.

So we might as well check to verify this, and let the user know that
something is wrong if they didn't do it correctly, instead of oopsing
later on in kobject_get_name() or somewhere else.

[PATCH] Fix compiler warning in driver core for CONFIG_HOTPLUG=N

[PATCH] Fix compiler warning in driver core for CONFIG_HOTPLUG=N

FYI, while running a build test, I found:

drivers/base/bus.c:166: warning: `driver_attr_unbind' defined but not used
drivers/base/bus.c:194: warning: `driver_attr_bind' defined but not used

Looks like these two attributes and supporting functions want to be
#ifdef HOTPLUG'd

[PATCH] drivers/base/: proper prototypes

This patch contains the following changes:
- move prototypes to base.h
- sys.c should #include "base.h" for getting the prototype of it's
  global function system_bus_init()

Note that hidden in this patch there's a bugfix:

Caller and callee disagreed regarding the return type of
sysdev_shutdown().
