The tag contains just a few battery-related changes for v3.6. It's is
all pretty straightforward, except one thing.
One of our patches added thermal support for power supply class, but
thermal/ subsystem changed under our feet. We (well, Stephen, that is)
caught the issue and it was decided[1] that I'd just delay the battery
pull request, and then will fix it up by merging upstream back into
battery tree at the specific commit.
That's not all though: another[2] small fixup for thermal subsystem was
needed to get rid of a warning in power supply subsystem (the warning
was not drivers/power's "fault", the thermal registration function just
needed a proper const annotation, which is also done by a small commit
on top of the merge.
So, to sum this up:
- The 'master' branch of the battery tree was in the -next tree for
weeks, was never rebased, altered etc. It should be all OK;
- Although, for-v3.6 tag contains the 'master' branch + merge + the
warning fix.

thermal: Constify 'type' argument for the registration routine
thermal_zone_device_register() does not modify 'type' argument, so it is
safe to declare it as const. Otherwise, if we pass a const string, we are
getting the ugly warning:
CC drivers/power/power_supply_core.o
drivers/power/power_supply_core.c: In function 'psy_register_thermal':
drivers/power/power_supply_core.c:204:6: warning: passing argument 1 of 'thermal_zone_device_register' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [enabled by default]
include/linux/thermal.h:140:29: note: expected 'char *' but argument is of type 'const char *'
