Pull staging/IIO driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big staging and IIO driver pull request for 4.20-rc1.

  There are lots of things here, we ended up adding more lines than
  removing, thanks to a large influx of Comedi National Instrument
  device support. Someday soon we need to get comedi out of staging...

  Other than the comedi drivers, the "big" things here are:

   - new iio drivers

   - delete dgnc driver (no one used it and no one had the hardware
     anymore)

   - vbox driver updates and fixes

   - erofs fixes

   - tons and tons of tiny checkpatch fixes for almost all staging
     drivers

  All of these have been in linux-next, with the last few happening a
  bit "late" due to them getting stuck on my laptop during travel to the
  Mantainers summit"

In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this
replaces struct crypto_skcipher and SKCIPHER_REQUEST_ON_STACK() usage
with struct crypto_sync_skcipher and SYNC_SKCIPHER_REQUEST_ON_STACK(),
which uses a fixed stack size.

is completely reworked to use the known lengths of the strings.

This is an identical change to the wireless/lib80211 of the same name.
In preparing to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this
removes the discouraged use of AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK in favor of
the smaller SHASH_DESC_ON_STACK by converting from ahash-wrapped-shash
to direct shash. By removing a layer of indirection this both improves
performance and reduces stack usage. The stack allocation will be made
a fixed size in a later patch to the crypto subsystem.
