Here's the set of driver core patches for 3.19-rc1.
They are dominated by the removal of the .owner field in platform
drivers. They touch a lot of files, but they are "simple" changes, just
removing a line in a structure.
Other than that, a few minor driver core and debugfs changes. There are
some ath9k patches coming in through this tree that have been acked by
the wireless maintainers as they relied on the debugfs changes.
Everything has been in linux-next for a while.

The backlight_device_unregister() function tests whether its argument is NULL
and then returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Pull slave-dmaengine updates from Vinod Koul:
"For dmaengine contributions we have:
- designware cleanup by Andy
- my series moving device_control users to dmanegine_xxx APIs for
later removal of device_control API
- minor fixes spread over drivers mainly mv_xor, pl330, mmp, imx-sdma
etc"

This patch add backlight control support to allow dimming the backlight
using the internal PWM. Currently the brightness is set fixed to a
maximum of 255.

The drivers/video directory is a mess. It contains generic video related
files, directories for backlight, console, linux logo, lots of fbdev
device drivers, fbdev framework files.
Make some order into the chaos by creating drivers/video/fbdev
directory, and move all fbdev related files there.
No functionality is changed, although I guess it is possible that some
subtle Makefile build order related issue could be created by this
patch.
