Merge tag 'char-misc-6.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc
Pull char / misc and other driver updates from Greg KH: "Here is the "big" set of char/misc and other driver subsystem changes for 6.11-rc1. Nothing major in here, just loads of new drivers and updates. Included in here are: - IIO api updates and new drivers added - wait_interruptable_timeout() api cleanups for some drivers - MODULE_DESCRIPTION() additions for loads of drivers - parport out-of-bounds fix - interconnect driver updates and additions - mhi driver updates and additions - w1 driver fixes - binder speedups and fixes - eeprom driver updates - coresight driver updates - counter driver update - new misc driver additions - other minor api updates All of these, EXCEPT for the final Kconfig build fix for 32bit systems, have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues. The Kconfig fixup went in 29 hours ago, so might have missed the latest linux-next, but was acked by everyone involved" * tag 'char-misc-6.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc: (330 commits) misc: Kconfig: exclude mrvl-cn10k-dpi compilation for 32-bit systems misc: delete Makefile.rej binder: fix hang of unregistered readers misc: Kconfig: add a new dependency for MARVELL_CN10K_DPI virtio: add missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macro agp: uninorth: add missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macro spmi: add missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macros dev/parport: fix the array out-of-bounds risk samples: configfs: add missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macro misc: mrvl-cn10k-dpi: add Octeon CN10K DPI administrative driver misc: keba: Fix missing AUXILIARY_BUS dependency slimbus: Fix struct and documentation alignment in stream.c MAINTAINERS: CC dri-devel list on Qualcomm FastRPC patches misc: fastrpc: use coherent pool for untranslated Compute Banks misc: fastrpc: support complete DMA pool access to the DSP misc: fastrpc: add missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macro misc: fastrpc: Add missing dev_err newlines misc: fastrpc: Use memdup_user() nvmem: core: Implement force_ro sysfs attribute nvmem: Use sysfs_emit() for type attribute ...
