Merge branch 'for-davem' of git://gitorious.org/linux-can/linux-can-next

Marc Kleine-Budde says:

====================
this pull request is for net-next/master. There is a patch by Alexander
Stein fixing a reference counter problem which can make driver
unloading impossible (stable Cc'ed). And several patches by me which
remove an obsolete mechanism from several drivers, which is already
handled at the infrastructure level.
