Here are some driver core and sysfs patches for 2.6.17-rc1. They contain
the following changes:
- allow sysfs files to be polled (this missed the initial
2.6.16-git merge due to the patch being reworked by Neil. It
has been included in the -mm tree for a number of months now
with no reported issues. Sorry for missing this one the first
time around this cycle)
- fix bug in manual binding of devices to drivers.
- report the offending driver when suspend fails
- fix partition scanning and reporting to userspace (was being
reported before the scanning was finished, which isn't very
nice.)
- few other minor bugfixes and build fixes.
All of these patches have been in the -mm tree for a number of weeks, if
not months (in the case of the sysfs poll patch).
Please pull from:
rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-2.6.git/
or if master.kernel.org hasn't synced up yet:
master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-2.6.git/
Patches will be sent as a follow-on to this message to lkml for people
to see.
thanks,
