    driver core: add uid and gid to devtmpfs · 3c2670e6

    Some drivers want to tell userspace what uid and gid should be used for
    their device nodes, so allow that information to percolate through the
    driver core to userspace in order to make this happen.  This means that
    some systems (i.e.  Android and friends) will not need to even run a
    udev-like daemon for their device node manager and can just rely in
    devtmpfs fully, reducing their footprint even more.
