[GIT PATCH] driver core fixes for .36-rc2

[GIT PATCH] driver core fixes for .36-rc2

[Greg KH]

Here are some fixes for .36-rc2 for the driver core.

It fixes a firmware oops that a lot of people are hitting, and a build
error for older versions of gcc that it seems all of the ARM developers
are hitting.  And there's documentation fix as well.

Please pull from:
	master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core-2.6.git/

All of these patches have been in the linux-next and mm trees.

The patches will be sent as a follow-on to this message to lkml for
people to see.

thanks,

greg k-h

[PATCH 1/3] kobject: Break the kobject namespace defs into their own header

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

Break the kobject namespace defs into their own header to avoid a header file
inclusion ordering problem between linux/sysfs.h and linux/kobject.h.

This fixes the build breakage on older versions of gcc.

[PATCH 2/3] firmware_class: fix typo in error path

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

In the error path, _request_firmware sets
firmware_p to NULL rather than *firmware_p,
which leads to passing a freed firmware
struct to drivers when the firmware file
cannot be found. Fix this.

Broken by commit f8a4bd3456b988fc73b2c.
