Merge tag 'char-misc-4.17-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc

Pull char/misc driver fixes from Greg KH:
 "Here are some small char and misc driver fixes for 4.17-rc3

  A variety of small things that have fallen out after 4.17-rc1 was out.
  Some vboxguest fixes for systems with lots of memory, amba bus fixes,
  some MAINTAINERS updates, uio_hv_generic driver fixes, and a few other
  minor things that resolve problems that people reported.

  The amba bus fixes took twice to get right, the first time I messed up
  applying the patches in the wrong order, hence the revert and later
  addition again with the correct fix, sorry about that.

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