    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
     "Here is the big pull request for char/misc drivers for 4.16-rc1.
    
      There's a lot of stuff in here. Three new driver subsystems were added
      for various types of hardware busses:
    
       - siox
       - slimbus
       - soundwire
    
      as well as a new vboxguest subsystem for the VirtualBox hypervisor
      drivers.
    
      There's also big updates from the FPGA subsystem, lots of Android
      binder fixes, the usual handful of hyper-v updates, and lots of other
      smaller driver updates.
    
      All of these have been in linux-next for a long time, with no reported
      issues"
