sound fixes for 4.2-final

Here are a small collecton of sound fix patches.  The most significant
one is the disablement of newly introduced topology API.  Its ABI
couldn't be stabilized enough, so we decided to delay for 4.3 in the
end.  Other than that, all oneliner fixes: a USB-audio runtime PM fix
and a couple of HD-audio quirks.

ASoC: Disable topology support for v4.2

The topology code merged in the v4.2 merge window introduced a new ABI
which was believed to be suitable for use but subsequently additional
work by the developers of this feature have revealed some problems that
need to be addressed.  In order to allow this to be done without having
to support the initial ABI add Kconfig to disable the build and also add
some #error statements to the UAPI header so users can't use them.

Major changes:

ath10k:

* add support for qca99x0 family of devices
* improve performance of tx_lock
* add support for raw mode (802.11 frame format) and software crypto
  engine enabled via a module parameter

ath9k:

* add fast-xmit support

wil6210:

* implement TSO support
* support bootloader v1 and onwards

iwlwifi:

* Deprecate -10.ucode
* Clean ups towards multiple Rx queues
* Add support for longer CMD IDs. This will be required by new
  firmwares since we are getting close to the u8 limit.
* bugfixes for the D0i3 power state
* Add basic support for FTM
* polish the Miracast operation
* fix a few power consumption issues
* scan cleanup
* fixes for D0i3 system state
* add paging for devices that support it
* add again the new RBD allocation model
* add more options to the firmware debug system
* add support for frag SKBs in Tx

along with a number of other cleanups.

We have a single bugfix for an invalid memory read.
