[PATCH 2/4] xilinx_hwicap: remove improper wording in license statement

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

GPLv2 doesn't allow additional restrictions to be imposed on any
code, so this wording needs to be removed from these files.

[PATCH 3/4] driver core: add newlines to debugging enabled/disabled messages

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>

Both messages are missing the newline and thus dmesg output gets
scrambled.

You only need to remove the "Use in .. expressly prohibited bit", the
rest seems like useful relevant information.

As this ended up just being boiler-plate wording from an internal Xilinx
template, and didn't apply at all to these files, it seemed easier to
just remove the whole thing :)

[GIT PATCH] driver core fixes for your 2.6-git tree

[Greg KH]

Here are 4 reverts of patches that were previously pulled into your git
tree.  They revert the ability for the driver core to have a private
area in struct device.

Thanks to Stefan Richter for pointing out the problems with the current
implementation, and for Alan Cox persuading me to rework the whole
thing, which I will do for the 2.6.30 release.

Please pull from:
	master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core-2.6.git/

The patches will be sent as a follow-on to this message to lkml for people
to see.

thanks,

[GIT PATCH] driver core fixes for your 2.6-git tree

[Greg KH]

Here are 5 bugfixes against your current kernel git tree.

They fix the following reported problems:
	- klist blowing up on CRIS architecture
	- some block device names showing up incorrectly due to
	  mishandled ! formatting
	- sysfs binary file bugfix
	- debugfs build breakage if it is disable and wimax is enabled.
	- PNP modules not properly being autoloaded due to lowercase
	  issues in file2alias.c

All of these have been in the last -next release, with the majority of
them in the -next releases for the past week.

Please pull from:
	master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core-2.6.git/

The patches will be sent as a follow-on to this message to lkml for people
