This series of patches removes the assumption that pnp_register_driver()
returns the number of devices claimed. Returning the count is unreliable
because devices may be hot-plugged in the future. (Many devices don't support
hot-plug, of course, but PNP in general does.)
This changes the convention to "zero for success, or a negative error value,"
which matches pci_register_driver(), acpi_bus_register_driver(), and
platform_driver_register().
If drivers need to know the number of devices, they can count calls to their
.probe() methods.
This patch:
Remove the assumption that pnp_register_driver() returns the number of devices
claimed.

Fix the check of enable module option in probe of platform_device drivers.
It shouldn't break the loop but just ignore if enable[i] is false.

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!
