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.

The current driver probe() function assumes the sensor device to be
always present and gets executed every time if the driver is loaded,
but the appropriate hardware could not be present.
So, move the platform device creation as part of platform init code
and use the 'id_table' to check if the device is present or not.

Because we build kernels with drivers built in for many platforms, it's
normal for the ibmpowernv driver to be loaded on systems that don't have
the appropriate hardware.
Currently the driver spams the log with:
ibmpowernv ibmpowernv.0: Opal node 'sensors' not found
ibmpowernv: Platfrom driver probe failed
But there is no error, this machine is not a powernv and doesn't have
the hardware. So change the sensors message to dev_dbg(), and only print
an error about the probe failing if it's not ENODEV.
Also fix the spelling of "Platfrom" and print the actual error value.

This reverts commit 0de7f8a917.
This driver wasn't merged via the proper maintainers (my fault ... ooops !)
and has serious issues so let's take it out for now and have a new better
one be merged the right way

This patch adds basic kernel enablement for reading power values, fan
speed rpm and temperature values on powernv platforms which will
be exported to user space through sysfs interface.
