  driver core: remove DRIVER_ATTR (2017-09-19 09:20:33 +0200)

Driver core fixes for 4.14-rc4

Here are a few small fixes for 4.14-rc4.

The removal of DRIVER_ATTR() was almost completed by 4.14-rc1, but one
straggler made it in through some other tree (odds are, one of mine...)
So there's a simple removal of the last user, and then finally the macro
is removed from the tree.

There's a fix for old crazy udev instances that insist on reloading a
module when it is removed from the kernel due to the new uevents for
bind/unbind.  This fixes the reported regression, hopefully some year in
the future we can drop the workaround, once users update to the latest
version, but I'm not holding my breath.

And then there's a build fix for a linker warning, and a buffer overflow
fix to match the PCI fixes you took through the PCI tree in the same
area.

All of these have been in linux-next for a few weeks while I've been
traveling, sorry for the delay.
