Cool, thanks!

I've just refreshed the device-properties branch of the linux-pm.git tree
and it contains the current material now (including a couple of build
fixes reported by the autobuild robot in patches [02/12] and [09/12]).

My plan is to merge this into the linux-next branch when 3.18-rc1 is out.
