Hi, Here are some driver core patches for 2.6.9-rc1. They fix a few minor error paths, and shrink down the kref code enough to be able to use it in a kobject. All of the driver patches have been in the patch few -mm releases. I've also put 4 minor I2C patches, and two PCI patches as they need to make it into the mainline tree soon. Please pull from: bk://kernel.bkbits.net/gregkh/linux/driver-2.6 thanks, greg k-h p.s. I'll send these as patches in response to this email to lkml for those who want to see them.
