Subject: [PATCH] Driver core: move dev_get/set_drvdata to drivers/base/dd.c

In my driver-core tree, I've cleaned up all direct accesses of the
driver_data field in struct device.  So here's a final patch I've also
added that renames the field so that no one uses it again in the future.
It will show up in linux-next tomorrow.

thanks,

greg k-h

----------------------

No one should directly access the driver_data field, so change the
variable to hopefully state this.  Then move the get/set functions into
dd.c so that we can properly handle the changes that will be needed to
these functions in the future when we add the multiple device/driver
logic to the driver core.

Also update the copyright notices on these files while we are there.
