Linus Torvalds 296455ade1 Char/Misc and other Driver changes for 6.8-rc1
Here is the big set of char/misc and other driver subsystem changes for
 6.8-rc1.  Lots of stuff in here, but first off, you will get a merge
 conflict in drivers/android/binder_alloc.c when merging this tree due to
 changing coming in through the -mm tree.
 
 The resolution of the merge issue can be found here:
 	https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231207134213.25631ae9@canb.auug.org.au
 or in a simpler patch form in that thread:
 	https://lore.kernel.org/r/ZXHzooF07LfQQYiE@google.com
 
 If there are issues with the merge of this file, please let me know.
 
 Other than lots of binder driver changes (as you can see by the merge
 conflicts) included in here are:
  - lots of iio driver updates and additions
  - spmi driver updates
  - eeprom driver updates
  - firmware driver updates
  - ocxl driver updates
  - mhi driver updates
  - w1 driver updates
  - nvmem driver updates
  - coresight driver updates
  - platform driver remove callback api changes
  - tags.sh script updates
  - bus_type constant marking cleanups
  - lots of other small driver updates
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues
 (other than the binder merge conflict.)

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
