Merge tag 'driver-core-3.15-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull driver core and sysfs updates from Greg KH:
 "Here's the big driver core / sysfs update for 3.15-rc1.

  Lots of kernfs updates to make it useful for other subsystems, and a
  few other tiny driver core patches.

  All have been in linux-next for a while"

* tag 'driver-core-3.15-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (42 commits)
  Revert "sysfs, driver-core: remove unused {sysfs|device}_schedule_callback_owner()"
  kernfs: cache atomic_write_len in kernfs_open_file
  numa: fix NULL pointer access and memory leak in unregister_one_node()
  Revert "driver core: synchronize device shutdown"
  kernfs: fix off by one error.
  kernfs: remove duplicate dir.c at the top dir
  x86: align x86 arch with generic CPU modalias handling
  cpu: add generic support for CPU feature based module autoloading
  sysfs: create bin_attributes under the requested group
  driver core: unexport static function create_syslog_header
  firmware: use power efficient workqueue for unloading and aborting fw load
  firmware: give a protection when map page failed
  firmware: google memconsole driver fixes
  firmware: fix google/gsmi duplicate efivars_sysfs_init()
  drivers/base: delete non-required instances of include <linux/init.h>
  kernfs: fix kernfs_node_from_dentry()
  ACPI / platform: drop redundant ACPI_HANDLE check
  kernfs: fix hash calculation in kernfs_rename_ns()
  kernfs: add CONFIG_KERNFS
  sysfs, kobject: add sysfs wrapper for kernfs_enable_ns()
