  • Pull driver core update from Greg KH:
    "Here's the set of driver core patches for 3.19-rc1.

    They are dominated by the removal of the .owner field in platform
    drivers. They touch a lot of files, but they are "simple" changes,
    just removing a line in a structure.

    Other than that, a few minor driver core and debugfs changes. There
    are some ath9k patches coming in through this tree that have been
    acked by the wireless maintainers as they relied on the debugfs
    changes.

    Everything has been in linux-next for a while"

  • The only place where the time is invalid is when the ACPI_CSTATE_FFH entry
    method is not set. Otherwise for all the drivers, the time can be correctly
    measured.

    Instead of duplicating the CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_VALID flag in all the drivers
    for all the states, just invert the logic by replacing it by the flag
    CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_INVALID, hence we can set this flag only for the acpi idle
    driver, remove the former flag from all the drivers and invert the logic with
    this flag in the different governor.

  • The dbx500_cpuidle_probe is tagged as an __init section but the variable
    dbx500_cpuidle_plat_driver is not.

    The dbx500_cpuidle_probe could not be declared as __init because of macro
    module_platform_driver builds the exit function, tags as __exit and this one
    refers to the dbx500_cpuidle_plat_driver which is an __initdata.

    That leads to a section mismatch.

    Fix it by removing the __init tag for the probe function.
