Here's the set of driver core patches for 3.19-rc1.
They are dominated by the removal of the .owner field in platform
drivers. They touch a lot of files, but they are "simple" changes, just
removing a line in a structure.
Other than that, a few minor driver core and debugfs changes. There are
some ath9k patches coming in through this tree that have been acked by
the wireless maintainers as they relied on the debugfs changes.
Everything has been in linux-next for a while.

useful anymore.

Having no license specification in a module taints the kernel during load
with:
arm_big_little: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel.
and also the linker doesn't allow it to make use of GPL-exported symbols
which in this case also results in errors like:
arm_big_little: Unknown symbol cpufreq_register_driver (err 0)
. The header of the driver specifies a GPL v2 license, so note that
accordingly. While at it also add a description and an author and fix
the license in a companion file to explicit v2.

Now that the cpu device registration initialises the of_node(if available)
appropriately for all the cpus, parsing here is redundant.
This patch removes all DT parsing and uses cpu->of_node instead.

As multiplatform build is being adopted by more and more ARM platforms, initcall
function should be used very carefully. For example, when both arm_big_little_dt
and cpufreq-cpu0 drivers are compiled in, arm_big_little_dt driver may try to
register even if we had platform device for cpufreq-cpu0 registered.
To eliminate this undesired the effect, the patch changes arm_big_little_dt
driver to have it instantiated as a platform_driver. Then it will only run on
platforms that create the platform_device "arm-bL-cpufreq-dt".

If arm_big_little_dt driver is enabled, then it will always try to register with
big LITTLE cpufreq core driver. In case DT doesn't have relevant data for cpu
nodes, i.e. operating points aren't present, then we should exit early and
shouldn't register with big LITTLE cpufreq core driver. Otherwise we will fail
continuously from the driver->init() routine.
This patch fixes this issue.

If "/cpus" node isn't present or "clock-latency" isn't defined we are
returning error currently. Let's return CPUFREQ_ETERNAL instead, so
that we don't fail.

DT nodes should be put using of_node_put() to balance their usage counts. This
is not done properly in ARM's big LITTLE driver. Fix it.

big LITTLE is ARM's new Architecture focussing power/performance needs of modern
world. More information about big LITTLE can be found here:
http://www.arm.com/products/processors/technologies/biglittleprocessing.phphttp://lwn.net/Articles/481055/
In order to keep cpufreq support for all big LITTLE platforms simple/generic,
this patch tries to add a generic cpufreq driver layer for all big LITTLE
platforms.
The driver is divided into two parts:
- Core driver: Generic and shared across all big LITTLE SoC's
- Glue drivers: Per platform drivers providing ops to the core driver
This patch adds in a generic glue driver which would extract information from
Device Tree.
Future SoC's can either reuse the DT glue or write their own depending on the
need.
