d58cb9cc8a docs/driver-model: Document device.groups
Several drivers use device_create_file() where device.groups should be
used instead. This patch documents that and also removes the comments
about device classes since these should not be used in new code in the
way documented until now in Documentation/driver-model/device.txt.

63dc355a5a driver core: remove the driver-model structures from the documentation
Remove the struct bus_type, class, device, device_driver from the
driver-model docs. With another patch add them to device.h, since
they are out of date. That will keep things up to date and provide
a better way to document this stuff.

4109aca06c [PATCH] Driver Core: driver model doc update
This updates some driver data documentation:

 - removes references to some fields that haven't been there for a
   long time now, e.g. pre-kobject or even older;

 - giving more information about the probe() method;

 - adding an example of how platform_data is used

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
