Merge tag 'driver-core-3.17-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here's the big driver-core pull request for 3.17-rc1.

  Largest thing in here is the dma-buf rework and fence code, that
  touched many different subsystems so it was agreed it should go
  through this tree to handle merge issues.  There's also some firmware
  loading updates, as well as tests added, and a few other tiny changes,
  the changelog has the details.

  All have been in linux-next for a long time"
