Merge tag 'char-misc-4.16-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 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"
