Merge tag 'char-misc-4.19-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 bit set of char/misc drivers for 4.19-rc1
There is a lot here, much more than normal, seems like everyone is
writing new driver subsystems these days... Anyway, major things here
are:
- new FSI driver subsystem, yet-another-powerpc low-level hardware
bus
- gnss, finally an in-kernel GPS subsystem to try to tame all of the
crazy out-of-tree drivers that have been floating around for years,
combined with some really hacky userspace implementations. This is
only for GNSS receivers, but you have to start somewhere, and this
is great to see.
Other than that, there are new slimbus drivers, new coresight drivers,
new fpga drivers, and loads of DT bindings for all of these and
existing drivers.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues"
