Merge tag 'driver-core-3.18-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull driver core update from Greg KH:
 "Here's the driver core patches for 3.18-rc1.  Just a few small things,
  and the addition of a new interface to dump firmware "core dumps" to
  userspace through sysfs that the wireless and graphic drivers want to
  use.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while"
