Merge tag 'char-misc-4.17-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc

Pull char/misc updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of char/misc driver patches for 4.17-rc1.

  There are a lot of little things in here, nothing huge, but all
  important to the different hardware types involved:

   -  thunderbolt driver updates

   -  parport updates (people still care...)

   -  nvmem driver updates

   -  mei updates (as always)

   -  hwtracing driver updates

   -  hyperv driver updates

   -  extcon driver updates

   -  ... and a handful of even smaller driver subsystem and individual
      driver updates

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