Hi,

Here are some driver core patches for 2.6.10-rc1.  The majority of them
have all been in the -mm tree for a while.  They contain:
	- bugfix for the hotplug calls that was breaking all firmware
	  downloads.
	- sysfs backing patches.  Finally Maneesh can rest...
	- add a "driver" symlink in devices to make it easier to
	  determine what driver is bound to a specific device.
	- other bugfixes.

Please pull from:
	bk://kernel.bkbits.net/gregkh/linux/driver-2.6

thanks,

greg k-h

p.s. I'll send these as patches in response to this email to lkml for
those who want to see them.

Hi,

Here are a few minot driver core changes for 2.6.10-rc1 that were laying
around and didn't make it in the last big batch of merges.  Most of
these have been in the -mm tree for a while now.

No, they don't include the backing store sysfs patches, I'll get to
those next week.  I'll be in the same building as Maneesh, so I know
he'll be hounding me about them... :)

Oh, and these patches will cause the wait_for_sysfs program in udev to
start spiting out a lot more warnings.  It's not a bug in the kernel,
it's a userspace issue.  I'll get that fixed up in the next udev
release.
