Hi all,

It was reported by Mark [1] that if subdrivers used devres, the
tpacpi_pdev wouldn't bind successfully to the device, thus failing to
create the various sysfs attributes that this driver exposes.

The original problem is already fixed, however a complete solution was
due.

The approach I took is to let the driver core manage the lifetimes of
the subdrivers (details in Patch [1/2]). This enables devres for
subdrivers and IMO makes the code more maintainable (because of the
lifetime gurantees).

This was compile tested only, because (unfortunately) I don't own a
thinkpad so some testing is absolutely required, as this is an extremely
intricate driver.

Based on top of the for-next branch.

~ Kurt
