Pull char / misc / iio driver updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big char/misc/iio and other small driver subsystem pull
request for 6.16-rc1.

Overall, a lot of individual changes, but nothing major, just the
normal constant forward progress of new device support and cleanups to
existing subsystems. Highlights in here are:

- Large IIO driver updates and additions and device tree changes

- Android binder bugfixes and logfile fixes

- mhi driver updates

- comedi driver updates

- counter driver updates and additions

- coresight driver updates and additions

- echo driver removal as there are no in-kernel users of it

- nvmem driver updates

- spmi driver updates

- new amd-sbi driver "subsystem" and drivers added

- rust miscdriver binding documentation fix

- other small driver fixes and updates (uio, w1, acrn, hpet,
xillybus, cardreader drivers, fastrpc and others)

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

misc: amd-sbi: Add support for register xfer

- Provide user register access over IOCTL.
Both register read and write are supported.
- APML interface does not provide a synchronization method. By defining,
a register access path, we use APML modules and library for
all APML transactions. Without having to use external tools such as
i2c-tools, which may cause race conditions.

misc: amd-sbi: Add support for AMD_SBI IOCTL

The present sbrmi module only support reporting power via hwmon.
However, AMD data center range of processors support various
system management functionality using custom protocols defined in
Advanced Platform Management Link (APML) specification.

Register a miscdevice, which creates a device /dev/sbrmiX with an IOCTL
interface for the user space to invoke the APML Mailbox protocol, which
is already defined in sbrmi_mailbox_xfer().

The APML protocols depend on a set of RMI registers. Having an IOCTL
as a single entry point will help in providing synchronization among
these protocols as multiple transactions on RMI register set may
create race condition.
Support for other protocols will be added in subsequent patches.

APML mailbox protocol returns additional error codes written by
SMU firmware in the out-bound register 0x37. These errors include,
invalid core, message not supported over platform and
others. This additional error codes can be used to provide more
details to user space.

Open-sourced and widely used https://github.com/amd/esmi_oob_library
will continue to provide user-space programmable API.
