Merge tag 'char-misc-6.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc

Pull char/misc drivers updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the "big" set of char/misc and other driver subsystems for
  6.4-rc1.

  It's pretty big, but due to the removal of pcmcia drivers, almost
  breaks even for number of lines added vs. removed, a nice change.

  Included in here are:

   - removal of unused PCMCIA drivers (finally!)

   - Interconnect driver updates and additions

   - Lots of IIO driver updates and additions

   - MHI driver updates

   - Coresight driver updates

   - NVMEM driver updates, which required some OF updates

   - W1 driver updates and a new maintainer to manage the subsystem

   - FPGA driver updates

   - New driver subsystem, CDX, for AMD systems

   - lots of other small driver updates and additions

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

+8. NVMEM layouts
+================
+
+NVMEM layouts are yet another mechanism to create cells. With the device
+tree binding it is possible to specify simple cells by using an offset
+and a length. Sometimes, the cells doesn't have a static offset, but
+the content is still well defined, e.g. tag-length-values. In this case,
+the NVMEM device content has to be first parsed and the cells need to
+be added accordingly. Layouts let you read the content of the NVMEM device
+and let you add cells dynamically.
+
+Another use case for layouts is the post processing of cells. With layouts,
+it is possible to associate a custom post processing hook to a cell. It
+even possible to add this hook to cells not created by the layout itself.
