Thanks for refreshing this patchset.

It will take me a while to do the full review, so I thought I would give some early feed back.

It applies to char-misc-next, but will have conflicts with in-flight patches around the MAINTAINERS file. This is not a big deal.

The checkpatch is much better over v2, the complaints are

WARNING: added, moved or deleted file(s), does MAINTAINERS need updating?
#21:
new file mode 100644

WARNING: From:/Signed-off-by: email address mismatch: 'From: Lizhi Hou <lizhi.hou@xilinx.com>' != 'Signed-off-by: Lizhi Hou <lizhih@xilinx.com>'

MAINTAINERS warning i believe you address in the last patch.

In the next revisions, please fix the signoff.

The test robot is complaining about hppa64.  While it may be an unlikely config, it would be best to fix it.
