Merge tag 'char-misc-3.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc

Pull char/misc driver patches from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
 "Here's the big char/misc driver patches for 3.9-rc1.

  Nothing major here, just lots of different driver updates (mei,
  hyperv, ipack, extcon, vmci, etc.).

  All of these have been in the linux-next tree for a while."
