Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big pull request for char/misc drivers for 4.16-rc1.
There's a lot of stuff in here. Three new driver subsystems were added
for various types of hardware busses:
- siox
- slimbus
- soundwire
as well as a new vboxguest subsystem for the VirtualBox hypervisor
drivers.
There's also big updates from the FPGA subsystem, lots of Android
binder fixes, the usual handful of hyper-v updates, and lots of other
smaller driver updates.
All of these have been in linux-next for a long time, with no reported
issues"

Drivers generally should not need to depend directly on OF_ADDRESS or
OF_IRQ. Convert xillybus to use the preferred platform_get_resource() and
platform_get_irq() functions to remove this dependency.

This patch fixes two minor issues:
(1) An inaccurate comment
(2) A spelling mistake in dev_err message ("upgarde" -> "upgrade")

If devm_add_action() fails we are explicitly calling dma_unmap_single(),
pci_unmap_single() and kfree(). Lets use the helper
devm_add_action_or_reset() and return directly in case of error, as we
know that the cleanup function has been already called by the helper if
there was any error. At that same time remove the variable rc which
becomes unused now.

A couple of fields in a data structure, which is used by the driver only,
were not initialized properly during the driver's setup.
The primary issue with this bug was that channel->wr_buf_size remained zero,
so calls to dma_sync_single_for_cpu() took place with zero size, and
consequently did nothing.
This had a rather minimal practical impact, because
(a) these calls are NOPs on Intel/AMD platforms, as well as other platforms
with coherent cache, and
(b) it's extremely rare that any cache line would survive between two reads
from a given DMA buffer
Hence no significant practical difference is expected with this patch.

Until now, only 32-bit DMA addressing was allowed, following a report on
some old Intel machine that dropped 64-bit PCIe packets, even though
pci_set_dma_mask() was successful with DMA_BIT_MASK(64).
But then came TI's Keystone II chip (ARM Cortex A15 + DSPs), which refuses
32-bit DMA addressing (for good reasons). So 64-bit DMA is allowed as a
fallback option.

The API allows the application to flush a host-to-FPGA stream by calling
write() with the data count set to zero. Before this patch, copy_from_user()
was called with a non-zero byte count, which possibly made it attempt to read
from unmapped user memory. Such attempts caused the driver to return -EFAULT
instead of 0, even though the desired operation went through fine.
This patch ensures the driver returns 0 on a successful flush.

This driver has been functional and stable throughout the year it has spent
in the staging area. It has been patched for minor bugs, coding style issues
and improvements during this period.
This is the second submission of this move-out, after making several style
improvements, as suggested by Dan Carpenter.
