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.

This patch removes the interframe spacing time workaround from at86rf230
driver and use the mac802154 one. The interframe spacing time differs at
at86rf212 and channel setting. This patch fix this handling which is also
a new workaround and should be moved into mac802154 while channel
setting.

This patch adds a new interframe spacing time handling into mac802154
layer. Interframe spacing time is a time period between each transmit.
This patch adds a high resolution timer into mac802154 and starts on
xmit complete with corresponding interframe spacing expire time if
ifs_handling is true. We make it variable because it depends if
interframe spacing time is handled by transceiver or mac802154. At the
timer complete function we wake the netdev queue again. This avoids
new frame transmit in range of interframe spacing time.
For synced driver we add no handling of interframe spacing time. This
is currently a lack of support in all synced xmit drivers. I suppose
it's working because the latency of workqueue which is needed to call
spi_sync.

This patch removes the invalid max frame retries check from driver
layer. This is already handled by nl802154 framework. Also the IEEE
802.15.4 standard doesn't allow a frame retries setting above 7. This
seems to be valid for the at86rf230 transceiver but the chip running out
of spec then. We only allow settings according 802.15.4 right now.

When the driver waits for a tx completion currently the driver direct

the driver could receive a new frame and request resources which are
already in use, for example irq state change resource.
To be sure there are no new interrupts when we switching to RX_AACK_ON,
we enable the irq when state change to RX_AACK_ON was completed.
