They fix the following thing: - fix reference counting bug when removing any driver module from the system by reverting a previous "fix". - allow older versions of HAL to find network devices even if CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is disabled. - fix an oops when moving kobjects to the same destination location as they currently are caused by the bluetooth layer. - export a symbol to allow the wireless core to be built as a module - remove the devfs entry in the MAINTAINERS file. All of these have been in the -mm tree. Please pull from: master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-2.6.git/ Patches will be sent as a follow-on to this message to lkml for people to see. thanks, greg k-h MAINTAINERS | 3 --- drivers/base/core.c | 23 ++++++++++++++--------- kernel/module.c | 6 ------ lib/kobject.c | 2 ++ 4 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) --------------- Dmitriy Monakhov (1): kobject: new_device->kref wasn't putted after error in kobject_move() Greg Kroah-Hartman (2): Revert "driver core: refcounting fix" Driver core: add device symlink back to sysfs Johannes Berg (1): driver core: export device_rename Jörn Engel (1): Remove devfs from MAINTAINERS
