Linus Torvalds e229b429bb Char/Misc driver patches for 5.12-rc1
Here is the large set of char/misc/whatever driver subsystem updates for
 5.12-rc1.  Over time it seems like this tree is collecting more and more
 tiny driver subsystems in one place, making it easier for those
 maintainers, which is why this is getting larger.
 
 Included in here are:
 	- coresight driver updates
 	- habannalabs driver updates
 	- virtual acrn driver addition (proper acks from the x86
 	  maintainers)
 	- broadcom misc driver addition
 	- speakup driver updates
 	- soundwire driver updates
 	- fpga driver updates
 	- amba driver updates
 	- mei driver updates
 	- vfio driver updates
 	- greybus driver updates
 	- nvmeem driver updates
 	- phy driver updates
 	- mhi driver updates
 	- interconnect driver udpates
 	- fsl-mc bus driver updates
 	- random driver fix
 	- some small misc driver updates (rtsx, pvpanic, etc.)
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a while, with the only reported
 issue being a merge conflict in include/linux/mod_devicetable.h that you
 will hit in your tree due to the dfl_device_id addition from the fpga
 subsystem in here.  The resolution should be simple.

========================================
The Linux driver implementer's API guide
========================================
The kernel offers a wide variety of interfaces to support the development
of device drivers. This document is an only somewhat organized collection
of some of those interfaces — it will hopefully get better over time! The
available subsections can be seen below.
