Merge tag 'driver-core-3.6-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
Pull driver core changes from Greg Kroah-Hartman: "Here's the big driver core pull request for 3.6-rc1. Unlike 3.5, this kernel should be a lot tamer, with the printk changes now settled down. All we have here is some extcon driver updates, w1 driver updates, a few printk cleanups that weren't needed for 3.5, but are good to have now, and some other minor fixes/changes in the driver core. All of these have been in the linux-next releases for a while now.
