* master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-2.6:
  sysfs: cosmetic clean up on node creation failure paths
  sysfs: kill an extra put in sysfs_create_link() failure path
  Driver core: check return code of sysfs_create_link()
  HOWTO: Add the knwon_regression URI to the documentation
  dev_vdbg() documentation
  dev_vdbg(), available with -DVERBOSE_DEBUG
  sysfs: make sysfs_init_inode() static
  sysfs: fix sysfs root inode nlink accounting
  Documentation fix devres.txt: lib/iomap.c -> lib/devres.c
  sysfs: avoid kmem_cache_free(NULL)
  PM: remove deprecated dpm_runtime_* routines
  PM: Remove deprecated sysfs files
  Driver core: accept all valid action-strings in uevent-trigger
  debugfs: remove rmdir() non-empty complaint
