Merge tag 'driver-core-3.11-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull driver core patches from Greg KH:
 "Here are some driver core patches for 3.11-rc2.  They aren't really
  bugfixes, but a bunch of new helper macros for drivers to properly
  create attribute groups, which drivers and subsystems need to fix up a
  ton of race issues with incorrectly creating sysfs files (binary and
  normal) after userspace has been told that the device is present.

  Also here is the ability to create binary files as attribute groups,
  to solve that race condition, which was impossible to do before this,
  so that's my fault the drivers were broken.

  The majority of the .c changes is indenting and moving code around a
  bit.  It affects no existing code, but allows the large backlog of 70+
  patches that I already have created to start flowing into the
  different subtrees, instead of having to live in my driver-core tree,
  causing merge nightmares in linux-next for the next few ...
