Merge tag 'char-misc-4.18-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 "big" char and misc driver patches for 4.18-rc1.

  It's not a lot of stuff here, but there are some highlights:

   - coreboot driver updates

   - soundwire driver updates

   - android binder updates

   - fpga big sync, mostly documentation

   - lots of minor driver updates

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

-Linux kernel FPGA support
-
-Alan Tull 2017
-
-The main point of this project has been to separate the out the upper layers
-that know when to reprogram a FPGA from the lower layers that know how to
-reprogram a specific FPGA device.  The intention is to make this manufacturer
-agnostic, understanding that of course the FPGA images are very device specific
-themselves.
-
-The framework in the kernel includes:
-* low level FPGA manager drivers that know how to program a specific device
-* the fpga-mgr framework they are registered with
-* low level FPGA bridge drivers for hard/soft bridges which are intended to
-  be disable during FPGA programming
-* the fpga-bridge framework they are registered with
-* the fpga-region framework which associates and controls managers and bridges
-  as reconfigurable regions
-* the of-fpga-region support for reprogramming FPGAs when device tree overlays
-  are applied.
-
-I would encourage you the user to add code that creates FPGA regions rather
-that trying to control managers and bridges separately.
