6a6bbd29a0 [PATCH] Use of uninitialized variable in drivers/net/depca.c
hi,

this fixes coverity bug #888, where the variable
dev is used uninitialized. I assume the programmer
meant to use mdev, which is initialized.
Compile tested only.

3ae5eaec1d [DRIVER MODEL] Convert platform drivers to use struct platform_driver
This allows us to eliminate the casts in the drivers, and eventually
remove the use of the device_driver function pointer methods for
platform device drivers.

5d994b7f5d [DRIVER MODEL] Fix depca
Release code in driver modules is a potential cause of oopsen.
The device may be in use by a userspace process, which will keep
a reference to the device.  If the module is unloaded, the module
text will be freed.  Subsequently, when the last reference is
dropped, the release code will be called, which no longer exists.

Use generic platform device allocation/release code in modules.

d052d1beff Create platform_device.h to contain all the platform device details.
Convert everyone who uses platform_bus_type to include
linux/platform_device.h.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
