Edits to the driver-model documentation for grammar, clarity and content.
These docs haven't been updated in years, and some of the technical content
and discussion has become stale; this patch updates these. In addition,
some of the language is awkward. Fix this.
(I'm trying to cleanup the other files in this directory also,
patches for these will come a bit later).

In PM v1, all devices were called at SUSPEND_DISABLE level. Then
all devices were called at SUSPEND_SAVE_STATE level, and finally
SUSPEND_POWER_DOWN level. However, with PM v2, to maintain
compatibility for platform devices, I arranged for the PM v2
suspend/resume callbacks to call the old PM v1 suspend/resume
callbacks three times with each level in order so that existing
drivers continued to work.
Since this is obsolete infrastructure which is no longer necessary,
we can remove it. Here's an (untested) patch to do exactly that.

The document porting.txt in Documentation/driver-model says:
When a device is successfully bound to a device
I think it should say:
When a device is successfully bound to a driver

This updates some driver data documentation:
- removes references to some fields that haven't been there for a
long time now, e.g. pre-kobject or even older;
- giving more information about the probe() method;
- adding an example of how platform_data is used

I thought I'm done with fixing u32 vs. pm_message_t ... unfortunately
that turned out not to be the case as Russel King pointed out. Here are
fixes for Documentation and common code (mainly system devices).

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!
