Merge tag 'driver-core-3.13-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
Pull driver core fixes from Greg KH: "Here are 3 patches for sysfs issues that have been reported. Well, 1 patch really, the first one is reverted as it's not really needed (the correct fix is coming in through the different driver subsystems instead) But that 1 sysfs fix is needed, so this is still a good thing to pull in now" Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> * tag 'driver-core-3.13-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: Revert "sysfs: handle duplicate removal attempts in sysfs_remove_group()" sysfs: use a separate locking class for open files depending on mmap sysfs: handle duplicate removal attempts in sysfs_remove_group()
