This adds a few fixes for things reported since the last merge, and the latch batch of changes pending for FSI for 4.19. That batch is a rather mechanical conversion of the misc devices into proper char devices. The misc devices were ill suited, the minor space for them is limited and we can have a lot of chips in a system creating FSI devices. This also allows us to better control (and fix) object lifetime getting rid of the bad devm_kzalloc() of the structures containing the devices etc... Finally, we add a chardev to the core FSI that provides raw CFAM access to FSI slaves as a replacement for the current "raw" binary sysfs file which will be ultimately deprecated and removed. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAABAgAGBQJbWmGjAAoJEHM62YSLdExeJs4P/jcy6NQJmEeFtzd2qKK+4ciQ dcZMaymLTPDWFAbhtWc8bv723NsEfMxcd91rIQdcL2331fdcxSmXpKAICCgZn73a 9p2slsgPwOPKB4NNfIGE373K8TfqmRhhDvyNfaAD/eq6T+8vj1l5eJejvt9wCL2v koa98FOv7Urp4rZWlGySAkDEvfeN06VZ8jdYN80S7Vd6fy3s5wtdzCKK66wGsESz TU+Dijaj2i4cNUGlChHD0a6ZYYhG54KeT8k/oaqjnPBfIwQJtReSn7ad6nVEHt2Q fqAEn0sPnffpwO3Ao3Z0jPTN5lyDUtNTqggT9iPUUnyLSLBe9Ab8opTzsv+xVscr D6SsVPn3I5YiN22Dxcvv7KFJ5OX4Dv4Ul/SzXb17tt95OEckJkFoH49mmpTOefdv thEiIt8PbksBjyOKpmSHdrV3rppkd9zmJUnPOA/Rj6da+ngF706VOSYASxUd6s6y VtImTCxihYzwG5MSSYVmBi+gp5T91IOFlbw8XXjad8Cf4tydzJjm5dAl920SVUzS gxN04LhIQtDL+GrAjmxDOvPC25Skcd0rRdgeDT9RHfXGHZP95uhgIsZPPGGg73i7 52AQPSJDjzeBF5EDizQlDw5RW1TDRxGlDNbgnSMd969dhoVDo8uM6KwDmq4iWPKC QTObqJg5JGtxjmfgYhPH =ho3P -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'fsi-updates-2018-07-27' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/linux-fsi into char-misc-next Ben writes: Last round of FSI updates for 4.19 This adds a few fixes for things reported since the last merge, and the latch batch of changes pending for FSI for 4.19.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
