Merge tag 'char-misc-4.11-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/misc driver patchset for 4.11-rc1.

  Lots of different driver subsystems updated here: rework for the
  hyperv subsystem to handle new platforms better, mei and w1 and extcon
  driver updates, as well as a number of other "minor" driver updates.

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