Subject: [GIT PATCH] driver core fixes for 2.6.32-git

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
