Merge tag 'char-misc-4.6-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc
Pull char/misc updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big char/misc driver update for 4.6-rc1.

  The majority of the patches here is hwtracing and some new mic
  drivers, but there's a lot of other driver updates as well.  Full
  details in the shortlog.

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