What you hit is the first one, which is already in Greg's tree:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git/commit/?h=char-misc-next&id=e6d468d32cd084edd030a8bae76440b17b854b5c

The other two have also been taken:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git/commit/?h=staging-next&id=cbe34165cc1b7d1110b268ba8b9f30843c941639
