Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the large set of char/misc/whatever driver subsystem updates
  for 5.12-rc1. Over time it seems like this tree is collecting more and
  more tiny driver subsystems in one place, making it easier for those
  maintainers, which is why this is getting larger.

  Included in here are:

   - coresight driver updates

   - habannalabs driver updates

   - virtual acrn driver addition (proper acks from the x86 maintainers)

   - broadcom misc driver addition

   - speakup driver updates

   - soundwire driver updates

   - fpga driver updates

   - amba driver updates

   - mei driver updates

   - vfio driver updates

   - greybus driver updates

   - nvmeem driver updates

   - phy driver updates

   - mhi driver updates

   - interconnect driver udpates

   - fsl-mc bus driver updates

   - random driver fix

   - some small misc driver updates (rtsx, pvpanic, etc.)

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while, with the only
  reported issue being a merge conflict due to the dfl_device_id
  addition from the fpga subsystem in here"

Pull initial support for CXL (Compute Express Link) from Dan Williams:
 "Introduce an initial driver for CXL 2.0 Type-3 Memory Devices.

  CXL is Compute Express Link which released the 2.0 specification in
  November. The Linux relevant changes in CXL 2.0 are support for an OS
  to dynamically assign address space to memory devices, support for
  switches, persistent memory, and hotplug.

  A Type-3 Memory Device is a PCI enumerated device presenting the CXL
  Memory Device Class Code and implementing the CXL.mem protocol.
  CXL.mem allows device to advertise CPU and I/O coherent memory to the
  system, i.e. typical "System RAM" and "Persistent Memory" in Linux
  /proc/iomem terms.

  In addition to the CXL.mem fast path there is an administrative
  command hardware mailbox interface for maintenance and provisioning.
  It is this command interface that is the focus of the initial driver.
  With this driver a CXL device that is mapped by the BIOS can be
  administered by Linux.

  Linux support for CXL PMEM and dynamic CXL address space management
  are to be implemented post v5.12"

<title>cxl/mem: Add basic IOCTL interface</title>

<id>urn:sha1:583fa5e71caeb79e04e477e9837e2f7fa53b71e4</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a straightforward IOCTL that provides a mechanism for userspace to
query the supported memory device commands. CXL commands as they appear
to userspace are described as part of the UAPI kerneldoc. The command
list returned via this IOCTL will contain the full set of commands that
the driver supports, however, some of those commands may not be
available for use by userspace.

Memory device commands first appear in the CXL 2.0 specification. They
are submitted through a mailbox mechanism specified in the CXL 2.0
specification.

The send command allows userspace to issue mailbox commands directly to
the hardware. The list of available commands to send are the output of
the query command. The driver verifies basic properties of the command
and possibly inspect the input (or output) payload to determine whether
or not the command is allowed (or might taint the kernel).

<id>urn:sha1:9c5137aedd112f78a968bdd2325de2ea06df46c0</id>
<content type='text'>
The VM management interfaces expose several VM operations to ACRN
userspace via ioctls. For example, creating VM, starting VM, destroying
VM and so on.

The ACRN Hypervisor needs to exchange data with the ACRN userspace
during the VM operations. HSM provides VM operation ioctls to the ACRN
userspace and communicates with the ACRN Hypervisor for VM operations
via hypercalls.

HSM maintains a list of User VM. Each User VM will be bound to an
existing file descriptor of /dev/acrn_hsm. The User VM will be
destroyed when the file descriptor is closed.

<content type='text'>
Adding userspace support for the MC (Management Complex) means exporting
an ioctl capable device file representing the root resource container.

This new functionality in the fsl-mc bus driver intends to provide
userspace applications an interface to interact with the MC firmware.

Commands that are composed in userspace are sent to the MC firmware
through the FSL_MC_SEND_MC_COMMAND ioctl.  By default the implicit MC
I/O portal is used for this operation, but if the implicit one is busy,
a dynamic portal is allocated and then freed upon execution.

The command received through the ioctl interface is checked against a
known whitelist of accepted MC commands. Commands that attempt a change
in hardware configuration will need CAP_NET_ADMIN, while commands used
in debugging do not need it.

The gdth driver refers to a SCSI parallel, PCI-only HBA RAID adapter which
was manufactured by the now-defunct ICP Vortex company, later acquired by
Adaptec and superseded by the aacraid series of controllers.  The driver
itself would require a major overhaul before any modifications can be
attempted, but seeing that it's unlikely to have any users left it should
rather be removed completely.

<content type='text'>
Add a misc-device providing user-space access to the Surface Aggregator
EC, mainly intended for debugging, testing, and reverse-engineering.
This interface gives user-space applications the ability to send
requests to the EC and receive the corresponding responses.

The device-file is managed by a pseudo platform-device and corresponding
driver to avoid dependence on the dedicated bus, allowing it to be
loaded in a minimal configuration.

A python library and scripts to access this device can be found at [1].
