Merge tag 'char-misc-3.10-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc

Pull char/misc driver update from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
 "Here's the big char / misc driver update for 3.10-rc1

  A number of various driver updates, the majority being new
  functionality in the MEI driver subsystem (it's now a subsystem, it
  started out just a single driver), extcon updates, memory updates,
  hyper-v updates, and a bunch of other small stuff that doesn't fit in
  any other tree.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while"

+* Qualcomm SSBI
+
+Some Qualcomm MSM devices contain a point-to-point serial bus used to
+communicate with a limited range of devices (mostly power management
+chips).
+
+These require the following properties:
+
+- compatible: "qcom,ssbi"
+
+- qcom,controller-type
+  indicates the SSBI bus variant the controller should use to talk
+  with the slave device.  This should be one of "ssbi", "ssbi2", or
+  "pmic-arbiter".  The type chosen is determined by the attached
+  slave.
+
+The slave device should be the single child node of the ssbi device
+with a compatible field.

+Intel(R) Management Engine (ME) Client bus API
+===============================================
+
+
+Rationale
+=========
+MEI misc character device is useful for dedicated applications to send and receive
+data to the many FW appliance found in Intel's ME from the user space.
+However for some of the ME functionalities it make sense to leverage existing software
+stack and expose them through existing kernel subsystems.
+
+In order to plug seamlessly into the kernel device driver model we add kernel virtual
+bus abstraction on top of the MEI driver. This allows implementing linux kernel drivers
+for the various MEI features as a stand alone entities found in their respective subsystem.
+Existing device drivers can even potentially be re-used by adding an MEI CL bus layer to
+the existing code.
