[GIT PATCH] 2 small Driver core fixes for 2.6.12-git

[GIT PATCH] 2 small Driver core fixes for 2.6.12-git

[Greg KH]

Here's two patches that fixes some oopses with the USB code due to a
change in the driver core (could also cause problems with other
subsystems, just happened to notice it in the USB code.)  Many thanks to
Stelian Pop for noticing this and figuring out the fix for it.

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/

thanks,

greg k-h

[PATCH] USB: fix hid core to return proper error code from probe

Drivers need to return -ENODEV when they can't bind to a device.
Anything else stops the "bind a device to a driver" search.

[PATCH] driver core: Fix up the device_attach() error handling in bus_add_device()

Don't error out if something "bad" happens when trying to bind a driver to a
device.  We want the sysfs attributes to be present for later when we try to
tear down the device.
