Merge tag 'char-misc-4.15-rc1' of ssh://gitolite.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 and other driver subsystem patches
  for 4.15-rc1.

  There are small changes all over here, hyperv driver updates, pcmcia
  driver updates, w1 driver updats, vme driver updates, nvmem driver
  updates, and lots of other little one-off driver updates as well. The
  shortlog has the full details.

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

 At the runtime you can disable idle states with below methods:
 
-Set latency request to /dev/cpu_dma_latency to disable all CPUs specific idle
-states (if latency = 0uS then disable all idle states):
-# echo "what_ever_latency_you_need_in_uS" > /dev/cpu_dma_latency

-Disable specific CPU's specific idle state:
+It is possible to disable CPU idle states by way of the PM QoS
+subsystem, more specifically by using the "/dev/cpu_dma_latency"
+interface (see Documentation/power/pm_qos_interface.txt for more
+details).  As specified in the PM QoS documentation the requested
+parameter will stay in effect until the file descriptor is released.
+For example:
+
+# exec 3<> /dev/cpu_dma_latency; echo 0 >&3

+Do some work...

+# exec 3<>-

+The same can also be done from an application program.
