Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of new char/misc driver drivers and features for
  4.12-rc1.

  There's lots of new drivers added this time around, new firmware
  drivers from Google, more auxdisplay drivers, extcon drivers, fpga
  drivers, and a bunch of other driver updates. Nothing major, except if
  you happen to have the hardware for these drivers, and then you will
  be happy :)

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  issues"

kbuild test robot reported a non-static variable name collision between
a staging driver and a RapidIO driver, with a generic variable name of
'dbg_level'.

Both drivers should be changed so that they don't use this generic
public variable name.  This patch fixes the RapidIO driver but does not
change the user interface (name) for the module parameter.

  drivers/staging/built-in.o:(.bss+0x109d0): multiple definition of `dbg_level'
  drivers/rapidio/built-in.o:(.bss+0x16c): first defined here

This driver did not originally set kobj.parent so it likely had
potential a use after free bug which this patch fixes.

We convert from device_register to device_initialize/cdev_device_add.
While we are at it we use put_device instead of kfree (as recommended
by the device_initialize documentation). We also remove an unnecessary
extra get_device from the code.

<title>rapidio: use is_visible() to hide switch-specific attributes</title>

<id>70359c4a6802caa9e5a9233b863c6175e011abeb</id>
<content type='text'>
Instead of creating switch-specific attributes by hand, implement
is_visible() method of attribute group and hide them when dealing with
non-switch devices. This will ensure that all attributes are created
together, before userspace gets notified of new device.

Also, remove rio-sysfs.c from list of files that are scanned when compiling
RapiodIO documentations as it no longer has any structured comments, and
leaving it in leads to warning when building docs.

Moving from get_user_pages() to get_user_pages_unlocked() simplifies the

This removes the 'write' and 'force' from get_user_pages() and replaces
them with 'gup_flags' to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit in callers
as use of this flag can result in surprising behaviour (and hence bugs)
within the mm subsystem.

As reported by Alexey Khoroshilov (https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/9/9/737):
riocm_send_close() is called from rio_cm_shutdown() under
spin_lock_bh(idr_lock), but riocm_send_close() uses a GFP_KERNEL
allocation.

Fix by taking riocm_send_close() outside of spinlock protected code.

Original patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/8/4/32

If riocm_ch_alloc() fails then we end up dereferencing the error
pointer.

The problem is that we're not unwinding in the reverse order from how we
allocate things so it gets confusing.  I've changed this around so now
"ch" is NULL when we are done with it after we call riocm_put_channel().
That way we can check if it's NULL and avoid calling riocm_put_channel()
on it twice.

I renamed err_nodev to err_put_new_ch so that it better reflects what
the goto does.

Then because we had flipping things around, it means we don't neeed to
initialize the pointers to NULL and we can remove an if statement and
pull things in an indent level.
