Weirdness in patch

Greg:

In my copy of gregkh-all-2.6.33.patch (which is dated 2010-03-01),
there are changes to drivers/base/power/main.c, coming from the
gregkh-05-driver-core/driver-core-create-lock-unlock-functions-for-struct-device
patch.

The first weird thing is this. That file as it currently exists on
www.kernel.org (dated 2010-03-03) contains the following hunk (it's the
last hunk for drivers/base/power/main.c):

@@ -962,7 +962,7 @@ static int device_prepare(struct device
suspend_report_result(dev->class->pm->prepare, error);
}
End:
- up(&dev->sem);
+ device_unlock(dev);

return error;
}

But in my copy of gregkh-all-2.6.33.patch, the corresponding hunk is:

@@ -852,7 +852,7 @@
suspend_report_result(dev->class->pm->prepare, error);
}
End:
- up(&dev->sem);
+ device_lock(dev);

return error;
}

The device_unlock() got changed to device_lock()! That messed up my
suspend testing for a while...

Secondly, none of these changes is present in the
gregkh-all-2.6.33.patch file at www.kernel.org. Isn't that supposed to
contain all the patches from the subsystems merged into one?

What's the story?
