Linus Torvalds a74aa9676c Char/Misc fixes for 4.18-rc5
Here are a few char/misc driver fixes for 4.18-rc5.
 
 The "largest" stuff here is fixes for the UIO changes in 4.18-rc1 that
 caused breakages for some people.  Thanks to Xiubo Li for fixing them
 quickly.  Other than that, minor fixes for thunderbolt, vmw_balloon,
 nvmem, mei, ibmasm, and mei drivers.  There's also a MAINTAINERS update
 where Rafael is offering to help out with reviewing driver core patches.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next with no reported issues.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
