Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the driver-core tree

Hi Greg,

After merging the driver-core tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

drivers/pci/pci-label.c:100: error: unknown field 'owner' specified in initializer
drivers/pci/pci-label.c:100: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
drivers/pci/pci-label.c:105: error: unknown field 'owner' specified in initializer
drivers/pci/pci-label.c:105: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type

Caused by commit 60cc62ad579afa0eb5bded82e08dd0617d461d52 ("sysfs: Remove
owner field from sysfs struct attribute") interacting with commit
911e1c9b05a8e3559a7aa89083930700a0b9e7ee ("PCI: export SMBIOS provided
firmware instance and label to sysfs") from the pci tree.

I applied the following merge fix patch (Jesse, this patch can already be
applied to the pci tree without problems):

Sorry for the trouble. Looks like I missed that by a day.

Thanks, your fix looks correct, that field is now gone.
