Driver core patches for 4.2-rc1

Here is the driver core / firmware changes for 4.2-rc1.

A number of small changes all over the place in the driver core, and in
the firmware subsystem.  Nothing really major, full details in the
shortlog.  Some of it is a bit of churn, given that the platform driver
probing changes was found to not work well, so they were reverted.

All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues.
