Pull char/misc fixes from Greg KH:
 "Here are three small driver fixes for some reported issues for
  4.9-rc5.

  One for the hyper-v subsystem, fixing up a naming issue that showed up
  in 4.9-rc1, one mei driver fix, and one fix for parallel ports,
  resolving a reported regression.

  All have been in linux-next with no reported issues"
