Merge tag 'char-misc-3.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc

Pull char/misc updates from Greg KH:
 "Here's the big char/misc driver tree merge for 3.11-rc1

  A variety of different driver patches here.  All of these have been in
  linux-next for a while, and the networking patches were acked-by David
  Miller, as it made sense for those patches to come through this tree"
