Merge tag 'char-misc-5.2-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc
Pull char/misc driver fixes from Greg KH: "Here are some small char and misc driver fixes for 5.2-rc4 to resolve a number of reported issues. The most "notable" one here is the kernel headers in proc^Wsysfs fixes. Those changes move the header file info into sysfs and fixes the build issues that you reported. Other than that, a bunch of small habanalabs driver fixes, some fpga driver fixes, and a few other tiny driver fixes. All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues" * tag 'char-misc-5.2-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc: habanalabs: Read upper bits of trace buffer from RWPHI habanalabs: Fix virtual address access via debugfs for 2MB pages fpga: zynqmp-fpga: Correctly handle error pointer habanalabs: fix bug in checking huge page optimization habanalabs: Avoid using a non-initialized MMU cache mutex habanalabs: fix debugfs code uapi/habanalabs: add opcode for enable/disable device debug mode habanalabs: halt debug engines on user process close test_firmware: Use correct snprintf() limit genwqe: Prevent an integer overflow in the ioctl parport: Fix mem leak in parport_register_dev_model fpga: dfl: expand minor range when registering chrdev region fpga: dfl: Add lockdep classes for pdata->lock fpga: dfl: afu: Pass the correct device to dma_mapping_error() fpga: stratix10-soc: fix use-after-free on s10_init() w1: ds2408: Fix typo after 49695ac46861 (reset on output_write retry with readback) kheaders: Do not regenerate archive if config is not changed kheaders: Move from proc to sysfs lkdtm/bugs: Adjust recursion test to avoid elision lkdtm/usercopy: Moves the KERNEL_DS test to non-canonical
