Merge tag 'char-misc-4.10-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc

Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here's the big char/misc driver patches for 4.10-rc1. Lots of tiny
  changes over lots of "minor" driver subsystems, the largest being some
  new FPGA drivers. Other than that, a few other new drivers, but no new
  driver subsystems added for this kernel cycle, a nice change.

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

+Host Debugger Mode
+==================
+
+It is possible to configure the Trace Hub and control its trace
+capture from a remote debug host, which should be connected via one of
+the hardware debugging interfaces, which will then be used to both
+control Intel Trace Hub and transfer its trace data to the debug host.
+
+The driver needs to be told that such an arrangement is taking place
+so that it does not touch any capture/port configuration and avoids
+conflicting with the debug host's configuration accesses. The only
+activity that the driver will perform in this mode is collecting
+software traces to the Software Trace Hub (an stm class device). The
+user is still responsible for setting up adequate master/channel
+mappings that the decoder on the receiving end would recognize.
+
+In order to enable the host mode, set the 'host_mode' parameter of the
+'intel_th' kernel module to 'y'. None of the virtual output devices
+will show up on the intel_th bus. Also, trace configuration and
+capture controlling attribute groups of the 'gth' device will not be
+exposed. The 'sth' device will operate as usual.

+stm_source
+==========
+
 For kernel-based trace sources, there is "stm_source" device
 class. Devices of this class can be connected and disconnected to/from
-stm devices at runtime via a sysfs attribute.
+stm devices at runtime via a sysfs attribute called "stm_source_link"
+by writing the name of the desired stm device there, for example:
 
-Examples of STM devices are Intel(R) Trace Hub [1] and Coresight STM
-[2].
+$ echo dummy_stm.0 > /sys/class/stm_source/console/stm_source_link
+
+For examples on how to use stm_source interface in the kernel, refer
+to stm_console or stm_heartbeat drivers.
+
+Each stm_source device will need to assume a master and a range of
+channels, depending on how many channels it requires. These are
+allocated for the device according to the policy configuration. If
+there's a node in the root of the policy directory that matches the
+stm_source device's name (for example, "console"), this node will be
+used to allocate master and channel numbers. If there's no such policy
+node, the stm core will pick the first contiguous chunk of channels
+within the first available master. Note that the node must exist
+before the stm_source device is connected to its stm device.
+
+stm_console
+===========
+
+One implementation of this interface also used in the example above is
+the "stm_console" driver, which basically provides a one-way console
+for kernel messages over an stm device.
+
+To configure the master/channel pair that will be assigned to this
+console in the STP stream, create a "console" policy entry (see the
+beginning of this text on how to do that). When initialized, it will
+consume one channel.
