Merge tag 'char-misc-7.3-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc

Pull char/misc/IIO/etc driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of char, misc, iio, counter, fpga, and other small
  driver subsystems for 7.3-rc1.

  Overall, due to some driver removals we only added a bit more code
  than removed, which was a nice change. Highlights in this merge
  request are:

   - Loads of IIO driver updates and additions

   - binder driver updates (more on that below...)

   - Removal of the SGI XP and GRU drivers as they are not used anymore
     and turn out to be pretty insecure overall

   - Removal of the obsolete ibmasm driver as it's not being used
     anymore

   - Coresight driver updates and additions

   - Mei driver udpates

   - Counter driver updates

   - FPGA driver updates

   - ICC driver updates

   - lots and lots of other tiny driver updates to resolve reported
     issues

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