Subject: [GIT PATCH] driver core patches for 2.6.33-git

Here are some 2.6.33-rc1 patches for the driver core:

Nothing major here:
	- fixes for devtmpfs warnings on lockdep and command line
	  options
	- documentation updates
	- api change to make attributes const.  This is added now so
	  that subsystem maintainers can queue up patches for .34.  This
	  was submitted now at the recommendation of Stephen Rothwell.
	- stable kernel rules clarification in the documentation

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.

The patches will be sent as a follow-on to this message to lkml for people
to see.

thanks,

greg k-h
