Linus Torvalds af82455f7d char/misc patches for 4.12-rc1 ... Here is the big set of new char/misc driver drivers and features for 4.12-rc1. There's lots of new drivers added this time around, new firmware drivers from Google, more auxdisplay drivers, extcon drivers, fpga drivers, and a bunch of other driver updates. Nothing major, except if you happen to have the hardware for these drivers, and then you will be happy :) All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues.
