Merge tag 'driver-core-3.15-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
Pull driver core fixes from Greg KH:
"Here are some driver core fixes for 3.15-rc2. Also in here are some
documentation updates, as well as an API removal that had to wait for
after -rc1 due to the cleanups coming into you from multiple developer
trees (this one and the PPC tree.)
All have been in linux next successfully"
* tag 'driver-core-3.15-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core:
drivers/base/dd.c incorrect pr_debug() parameters
Documentation: Update stable address in Chinese and Japanese translations
topology: Fix compilation warning when not in SMP
Chinese: add translation of io_ordering.txt
stable_kernel_rules: spelling/word usage
sysfs, driver-core: remove unused {sysfs|device}_schedule_callback_owner()
kernfs: protect lazy kernfs_iattrs allocation with mutex
fs: Don't return 0 from get_anon_bdev
