Here's some small fixes for 5.10-rc2 and a big driver removal.
The fixes are for some reported issues in the interconnect and coresight
drivers, nothing major.
The "big" driver removal is the MIC drivers have been asked to be
removed as the hardware never shipped and Intel no longer wants to
maintain something that no one can use. This is welcomed by many as the
DMA usage of these drivers was "interesting" and the security people
were starting to question some issues that were starting to be found in
the codebase.
Note, one of the subsystems for this driver, the "VOP" code, will
probably come back in future kernel versions as it was looking to
potentially solve some PCIe virtualization issues that a number of other
vendors were wanting to solve. But as-is, this codebase didn't work for
anyone else so no actual functionality is being removed.
All of these have been in linux-next with no reported issues.
