Merge tag 'driver-core-3.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull driver core patches from Greg KH:
 "Here's the big driver core pull request for 3.12-rc1.

  Lots of tiny changes here fixing up the way sysfs attributes are
  created, to try to make drivers simpler, and fix a whole class race
  conditions with creations of device attributes after the device was
  announced to userspace.

  All the various pieces are acked by the different subsystem
  maintainers"

* tag 'driver-core-3.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (119 commits)
  firmware loader: fix pending_fw_head list corruption
  drivers/base/memory.c: introduce help macro to_memory_block
  dynamic debug: line queries failing due to uninitialized local variable
  sysfs: sysfs_create_groups returns a value.
  debugfs: provide debugfs_create_x64() when disabled
  rbd: convert bus code to use bus_groups
  firmware: dcdbas: use binary attribute groups
