Merge tag 'char-misc-5.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc
Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
"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 due to the dfl_device_id
addition from the fpga subsystem in here"

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 - -============= -Intel MID PTI -============= - -The Intel MID PTI project is HW implemented in Intel Atom -system-on-a-chip designs based on the Parallel Trace -Interface for MIPI P1149.7 cJTAG standard. The kernel solution -for this platform involves the following files:: - - ./include/linux/pti.h - ./drivers/.../n_tracesink.h - ./drivers/.../n_tracerouter.c - ./drivers/.../n_tracesink.c - ./drivers/.../pti.c - -pti.c is the driver that enables various debugging features -popular on platforms from certain mobile manufacturers. -n_tracerouter.c and n_tracesink.c allow extra system information to -be collected and routed to the pti driver, such as trace -debugging data from a modem. Although n_tracerouter -and n_tracesink are a part of the complete PTI solution, -these two line disciplines can work separately from -pti.c and route any data stream from one /dev/tty node -to another /dev/tty node via kernel-space. This provides -a stable, reliable connection that will not break unless -the user-space application shuts down (plus avoids -kernel->user->kernel context switch overheads of routing -data). - -An example debugging usage for this driver system: - - * Hook /dev/ttyPTI0 to syslogd. Opening this port will also start - a console device to further capture debugging messages to PTI. - * Hook /dev/ttyPTI1 to modem debugging data to write to PTI HW. - This is where n_tracerouter and n_tracesink are used. - * Hook /dev/pti to a user-level debugging application for writing - to PTI HW. - * `Use mipi_` Kernel Driver API in other device drivers for - debugging to PTI by first requesting a PTI write address via - mipi_request_masterchannel(1). - -Below is example pseudo-code on how a 'privileged' application -can hook up n_tracerouter and n_tracesink to any tty on -a system. 'Privileged' means the application has enough -privileges to successfully manipulate the ldisc drivers -but is not just blindly executing as 'root'.
