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"

+What:		/sys/bus/siox/devices/siox-X/active
+KernelVersion:	4.16
+Contact:	Gavin Schenk <g.schenk@eckelmann.de>, Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>
+Description:
+		On reading represents the current state of the bus. If it
+		contains a "0" the bus is stopped and connected devices are
+		expected to not do anything because their watchdog triggered.
+		When the file contains a "1" the bus is operated and periodically
+		does a push-pull cycle to write and read data from the
+		connected devices.
+		When writing a "0" or "1" the bus moves to the described state.

+Description:
+		Write-only file. Write
+
+			<type> <inbytes> <outbytes> <statustype>
+
+		to add a new device dynamically. <type> is the name that is used to match
+		to a driver (similar to the platform bus). <inbytes> and <outbytes> define
+		the length of the input and output shift register in bytes respectively.
+		<statustype> defines the 4 bit device type that is check to identify connection
+		problems.
+		The new device is added to the end of the existing chain.

+Description:

+Description:
+		Read-only value. "0" means the Yth device on siox bus X isn't "connected" i.e.
+		communication with it is not ensured. "1" signals a working connection.
