Tejun Heo 7b595756ec sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner
sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game.  After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners.  Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.

This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner.  Note that with
this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
backing module from being unloaded.

For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
following message.

(tweaked by Greg to not delete the field just yet, to make it easier to
merge things properly.)

Torsten Ertbjerg Rasmussen f9231a0ca1 [PATCH] rtc: ds1743 support
The real time clocks ds1742 and ds1743 differs only in the size of the
nvram.  This patch changes the existing ds1742 driver to support also
ds1743.  The main change is that the nvram size is determined from the
resource attached to the device.

The patch have benefitted from suggestions from Atsushi Nemeto, who is the
author of the ds1742 driver.
