Subject: [PATCH] make driver's name be const char *
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.13-rc1~68^2~583^2^2~81

[PATCH] make driver's name be const char *

Driver core:
  change driver's, bus's, class's and platform device's names
  to be const char * so one can use
            const char *drv_name = "asdfg";
  when initializing structures.
  Also kill couple of whitespaces.
