Pull char/misc fixes from Greg KH:
 "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"

* tag 'char-misc-4.18-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc:
  nvmem: Don't let a NULL cell_id for nvmem_cell_get() crash us
  thunderbolt: Notify userspace when boot_acl is changed
  uio: fix crash after the device is unregistered
  uio: change to use the mutex lock instead of the spin lock
  uio: use request_threaded_irq instead
  fpga: altera-cvp: Fix an error handling path in 'altera_cvp_probe()'
  ibmasm: don't write out of bounds in read handler
  MAINTAINERS: Add myself as driver core changes reviewer
  mei: discard messages from not connected client during power down.
