[Greg KH <gregkh@suse.de>]

Here is the big driver core merge for the 2.6.33-git tree.

Nothing major here:
	- sysfs reworks to make things nicer and fix minor problems
	- firmware api changes
	- devtmpfs tweaks to resolve minor issues reported by users.
	- platform devices early buffer changes
	- debugfs bugfix

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

All of these patches have been in the linux-next and mm trees for a
while.

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

thanks,

greg k-h
