Merge tag 'tty-4.6-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty

Pull tty/serial updates from Greg KH:
 "Here's the big tty/serial driver pull request for 4.6-rc1.

  Lots of changes in here, Peter has been on a tear again, with lots of
  refactoring and bugs fixes, many thanks to the great work he has been
  doing.  Lots of driver updates and fixes as well, full details in the
  shortlog.

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