PATCH 1/1 driver core patch against 2.6.25-git

Here is one patch against your 2.6.25-git tree.

It provides a new function, dev_name() to help with the transition away from using the bus_id field in struct device. The full transision will happen over the next few kernel releases.

Please pull from:
master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-2.6.git/

The patch will be sent as a follow-on to this message to lkml for people to see.

thanks,

greg k-h
