Pull char driver and Documentation fixes from Greg KH:
"Here is a char driver fix and some documentation updates for 6.5-rc4
that contain the following changes:
- sram/genalloc bugfix for reported problem
- security-bugs.rst update based on recent discussions
- embargoed-hardware-issues minor cleanups and then partial revert
for the project/company lists
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
problems, and the documentation updates have all been reviewed by the
relevant developers"
