Given that simple implementations of dev_name and dev_set_name now exist
in Linus' tree, is there any reason that these conversion patches cannot
go via the respective subsystem trees?  This would reduce the number of
conflicts in the linux-next tree (and presumably in the next merge window
for Linus).

Even if they were in both your tree and the subsystem trees, I think the
conflicts would be less.

I agree, I've just now sent all of the ones that I had left in my tree
to the respective subsystem maintainers.

Excellent, I look forward to lots of nice merges from now on. :-)
