  • CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As result the __dev*
    markings will be going away.

    Remove use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata, __devinitconst,
    and __devexit.

    Bill Pemberton has done most of the legwork on this series. I've used
    his script to purge the attributes from the drivers/gpio tree.

  • The call sequence spi_alloc_master/spi_register_master/spi_unregister_master is
    complete; it reduces the device reference count to zero, which results in
    device memory being freed. An extra call to spi_master_put is unnecessary
    and results in an access to free memory.

    At the same time, since the call to spi_unregister_master results in device
    memory being freed, it must no longer be accessed afterwards.

    To fix both problems, call spi_master_get to get an extra reference to the
    device, and call spi_master_put only after the last access to device data.

  • The call to spi_master_put() is needed to free device memory. It must be called
    after spi_alloc_master, and must only be called after the device memory is no
    longer used.

  • For simple modules that contain a single platform_driver without any
    additional setup code then ends up being a block of duplicated
    boilerplate. This patch adds a new macro, module_platform_driver(),
    which replaces the module_init()/module_exit() registrations with
    template functions.

  • Sort the SPI makefile and enforce the naming convention spi_*.c for
    spi drivers.

    This change also rolls the contents of atmel_spi.h into the .c file
    since there is only one user of that particular include file.

    v2: - Use 'spi-' prefix instead of 'spi_' to match what seems to be
    be the predominant pattern for subsystem prefixes.
    - Clean up filenames in Kconfig and header comment blocks
