Merge tag 'char-misc-4.19-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 bit set of char/misc drivers for 4.19-rc1

  There is a lot here, much more than normal, seems like everyone is
  writing new driver subsystems these days... Anyway, major things here
  are:

   - new FSI driver subsystem, yet-another-powerpc low-level hardware
     bus

   - gnss, finally an in-kernel GPS subsystem to try to tame all of the
     crazy out-of-tree drivers that have been floating around for years,
     combined with some really hacky userspace implementations. This is
     only for GNSS receivers, but you have to start somewhere, and this
     is great to see.

  Other than that, there are new slimbus drivers, new coresight drivers,
  new fpga drivers, and loads of DT bindings for all of these and
  existing drivers.

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