===================================================================
This is an update to the previous set of patches, don't merge them
yet.  Some of the context was messed up and I don't expect patch to
apply the updates with the previous set cleanly.  I'll resubmit the
entire set if these updates look good.
===================================================================

Documentation/w1/w1.generic 1.2 1.3
Document w1_master_add, w1_master_remove, search_count, and pullup.

 If you have a w1 bus that never changes (you don't add or remove devices),
-you can set w1_master_search to a positive value to disable searches.
+you can set the module parameter search_count to a small positive number
+for an initially small number of bus searches.  Alternatively it could be
+set to zero, then manually add the slave device serial numbers by
+w1_master_add device file.  The w1_master_add and w1_master_remove files
+generally only make sense when searching is disabled, as a search will
+redetect manually removed devices that are present and timeout manually
+added devices that aren't on the bus.
