[GIT PATCH] driver core fixes for 2.6.32-git

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Oct 30 2009 - 18:10:04 EST


Here are 2 bugfixes for the driver core code for your .32 git tree, and
7 documentation updates.

They do:
- prevent platform devices from being able to be unbound/bound
from userspace. This solves an issue that some people were
having with keyboards.
- pass the proper error value back to userspace when a driver is
already bound to a device.
- cpu sysfs file documentation updates.


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
