drm fixes across the board

Second round of IIO new device support, cleanups and features for the 4.11 cycle

New device support:
* lsm6dsx imu
  - new driver and bindings.
* max11100 adc
  - new driver and bindings.
* tlc4541
  - new driver
* tmp007 thermopile
  - new driver.

Core
* in kernel interfaces
  - pass through raw values if no scaling provided and a processed value is
    requested.
* trigger
  - close a race condition in acquiring trigger reference.
  - constify device_type structures.
  - rework the viio_trigger_alloc function to be much neater and easier to
  read.
  - free trigger resources correctly on some error paths. Avoids putting a
  module we don't have.

Documentation
* ABI
  - specify a unit for proximity measurements.

Cleanups and features
* ads1015
  - constify iio_info structure.
* ads7950 cleanups following merge in previous pull
  - Add device tree bindings
  - Drop the ti prefix from the module name in common with other drivers.
  - Change regulator name to vref to match datasheet and other drivers.
* ak8974
  - remove a redundant zero timeout check.
* bmi160
  - use variable names for sizeof instead of types.
* cm3605
  - mark PM functions as __maybe_unused to avoid a build warning.
* isl29028 (on it's way towards moving out of staging).
  - alignment fixes and newline improvements.
  - combine proxim_get and read_proxim for simpler code.
  - drop unused ISL29028_DEV_ATTR macro
  - move some error logging into functions to cut out repitition.
  - make error messages more consistent.
  - tidy up some brackets.
  - drop the enable flag that nothing uses.
  - only set proximity rate and ALS scale when relevant channel type is enabled.
  - runtime pm support.
* lsm6dsx
  - fix wrong values for gyro sensitivitiy.
* mag3110
  - claim direct mode during sysfs reads to avoid a race condition.
* max1363
  - export OF device table IDs as module aliases.
* max30100
  - use msleep for long uncritical delays.
* mcp4531
  - export OF device table as module aliases.
* ms5611
  - claim direct mode during sysfs reads to avoid a race condition.
* opt3001
  - export OF device table as module aliases.
* sx9500
  - claim direct mode during oversampling changes to avoid a race condition.

Linux 4.10-rc5

Second set of IIO fixes for the 4.10 cycle.
* afe4403
  - retrieve valid iio_dev in suspend / resume. Previously using the wrong
    dev for a call to dev_to_iio_dev.
* afe4404
  - retrieve valid iio_dev in suspend / resume. Previously using the wrong
    dev for a call to dev_to_iio_dev.
* dht11
  - Something seems to have caused a regression in timing on the raspberry pi
    2B.  However, the bug that it threw up was real. msleep was occasionally
    resulting in very long sleeps, over the limit possible to read from this
    chip. Switch to usleep_range to avoid this.  The timing needed by this
    part is very fiddly.
* max30100
  - wrong parenthesis around fifo count check meant it always read after the
    almost_full state had been reached. I've tagged this with a fixes tag which
    covers the last patch that it will not need precursor patches.  The bug
    predates that but will need backporting.
* palmas_gpadc.
  - retrieve valid iio_dev in suspend / resume. Previously using the wrong
    dev for a call to dev_to_iio_dev.

This is the 4.4.44 stable release

This is the 4.9.5 stable release

Linux 3.18.47

Linux 4.1.38

Linux 4.10-rc4

This is the 4.9.4 stable release

This is the 4.4.43 stable release

We have a number of fixes, in part because I was late
in actually sending them out - will try to do better in
the future:
 * handle VHT opmode properly when hostapd is controlling
   full station state
 * two fixes for minimum channel width in mac80211
 * don't leave SMPS set to junk in HT capabilities
 * fix headroom when forwarding mesh packets, recently
   broken by another fix that failed to take into account
   frame encryption
 * fix the TID in null-data packets indicating EOSP (end
   of service period) in U-APSD
 * prevent attempting to use (and then failing which
   results in crashes) TXQs on stations that aren't added
   to the driver yet

For 4.11, we seem to have more than in the past few releases:
 * socket owner support for connections, so when the wifi
   manager (e.g. wpa_supplicant) is killed, connections are
   torn down - wpa_supplicant is critical to managing certain
   operations, and can opt in to this where applicable
 * minstrel & minstrel_ht updates to be more efficient (time and space)
 * set wifi_acked/wifi_acked_valid for skb->destructor use in the
   kernel, which was already available to userspace
 * don't indicate new mesh peers that might be used if there's no
   room to add them
 * multicast-to-unicast support in mac80211, for better medium usage
   (since unicast frames can use *much* higher rates, by ~3 orders of
   magnitude)
 * add API to read channel (frequency) limitations from DT
 * add infrastructure to allow randomizing public action frames for
   MAC address privacy (still requires driver support)
 * many cleanups and small improvements/fixes across the board

sound fixes for 4.10-rc4

This time we got a few more fixes than the previous rc's, and the most
of commits were about ASoC.  The only significant change in the core
side is the regression fix wrt the aux device list handling, and all
the rest are driver-specific small / trivial fixes.

This is the 4.9.3 stable release

This is the 4.4.42 stable release
