Pull driver core update from Greg KH:
 "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"

<title>hwrandom / exynos / PM: Use CONFIG_PM in #ifdef</title>

<content type='text'>
CONFIG_PM is defined as the alternative of CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME and
CONFIG_PM_SLEEP, so it can be used instead of that.

Besides, after commit b2b49ccbdd54 (PM: Kconfig: Set PM_RUNTIME if
PM_SLEEP is selected) PM_RUNTIME is always set if PM is set, so
using the alternative isn't even necessary.

Use CONFIG_PM instead of it in drivers/char/hw_random/exynos-rng.c.

Add DT support.

Make the driver depend on CONFIG_OF as at91sam9g45 was the only SoC making
use of the TRNG block and this SoC is now fully migrated to DT.

<title>hwrng: pseries - port to new read API and fix stack corruption</title>

<id>24c65bc7037e7d0f362c0df70d17dd72ee64b8b9</id>
<content type='text'>
The add_early_randomness() function in drivers/char/hw_random/core.c passes
a 16-byte buffer to pseries_rng_data_read(). Unfortunately, plpar_hcall()
returns four 64-bit values and trashes 16 bytes on the stack.

This bug has been lying around for a long time. It got unveiled by:

commit d3cc7996473a7bdd33256029988ea690754e4e2a
Author: Amit Shah &lt;amit.shah@redhat.com&gt;
Date:   Thu Jul 10 15:42:34 2014 +0530

    hwrng: fetch randomness only after device init

It may trig a oops while loading or unloading the pseries-rng module for both
PowerVM and PowerKVM guests.

This patch does two things:
- pass an intermediate well sized buffer to plpar_hcall(). This is acceptalbe
  since we're not on a hot path.
- move to the new read API so that we know the return buffer size for sure.

The buf is used to hold the list of hwrng devices registered.
The old code ensures we don't walk off the end of buf as we
fill it, but it's unnecessarily complicated and thus difficult
to maintain. Simplify it by using strlcat.
