Subject: [PATCH 26/64] Driver Core: misc: add nodename support for misc devices.

From: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@...y.org>

This adds support for misc devices to report their requested nodename to
userspace.  It also updates a number of misc drivers to provide the
needed subdirectory and device name to be used for them.
