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 X-Gene PCIe driver assumes pci_scan_root_bus() assigns resources as
proposed in [1]. But we dropped patch [1] because it would break some
architectures, which means the X-Gene PCIe driver is currently broken.
Add calls to scan the bus, assign resources, and add devices in the X-Gene
driver to fix this.
