ASoC: Updates for v4.1

More updates for v4.1, pretty much all drivers:

 - Lots of cleanups from Lars, mainly moving things from the CODEC level
   to the card level.
 - Continuing improvements to rcar from Morimoto-san, pcm512x from
   Howard and Peter, the Intel platforms from Vinod, Jie, Jin and Han,
   and to rt5670 from Bard.
 - Support for some non-DSP Qualcomm platforms, Google's Storm
   platform, Maxmim MAX98925 CODECs and the Ingenic JZ4780 SoC.

Linux 4.0

ASoC: Last minute fix for v4.0

This patch backs out a change that came in during the merge window which
selects a configuration for GPIO4 on pcm512x CODECs that may not be
suitable for all systems using the device.  Changes for v4.1 will make
this properly configurable but for now it's safest to revert to the
v3.19 behaviour and leave the pin configuration alone.

Sorry for sending this direct at the last minute but due to the GPIO
misuse it'd be really good to get it in the release and I'd not realised
it hadn't been sent yet - between some travel, a job change and other
non-urgent fixes coming in I'd lost track of the urgency.  It's been in
-next for several weeks now, is isolated to the driver and fairly clear
to inspection.

The most interesting bit here is irqfd/ioeventfd support for ARM and ARM64.

ARM/ARM64: fixes for live migration, irqfd and ioeventfd support (enabling
vhost, too), page aging

s390: interrupt handling rework, allowing to inject all local interrupts
via new ioctl and to get/set the full local irq state for migration
and introspection.  New ioctls to access memory by virtual address,
and to get/set the guest storage keys.  SIMD support.

MIPS: FPU and MIPS SIMD Architecture (MSA) support.  Includes some patches
from Ralf Baechle's MIPS tree.

x86: bugfixes (notably for pvclock, the others are small) and cleanups.
Another small latency improvement for the TSC deadline timer.

There isn't much left, but we have
 * new mac80211 internal software queue to allow drivers to have
   shorter hardware queues and pull on-demand
 * use rhashtable for mac80211 station table
 * minstrel rate control debug improvements and some refactoring
 * fix noisy message about TX power reduction
 * fix continuous message printing and activity if CRDA doesn't respond
 * fix VHT-related capabilities with "iw connect" or "iwconfig ..."
 * fix Kconfig for cfg80211 wireless extensions compatibility

sound fixes for 4.0

Here are fixes gathered for 4.0-final; one FireFire endian fix, two
USB-audio quirks, and three HD-audio quirks.

All relatively small and device-specific fixes, should be pretty safe
to apply.

- cdclk handling cleanup and fixes from Ville
- more prep patches for olr removal from John Harrison
- gmbus pin naming rework from Jani (prep for bxt)
- remove ->new_config from Ander (more atomic conversion work)
- rps (boost) tuning and unification with byt/bsw from Chris
- cmd parser batch bool tuning from Chris
- gen8 dynamic pte allocation (Michel Thierry, based on work from Ben Widawsky)
- execlist tuning (not yet all of it) from Chris
- add drm_plane_from_index (Chandra)
- various small things all over

Power management and ACPI fixes for v4.0-rc8

 - Revert a 3.17 hibernate commit that was supposed to fix an issue
   related to e820 reserved regions, but broke resume from hibernation
   on Lenovo x230 (Rafael J Wysocki).

 - Prevent the ACPI cpuidle driver from overwriting the name and
   description of the C0 state set by the core when the list of
   C-states changes (Thomas Schlichter).

 - Remove the no longer needed state_count field from struct cpuidle_device
   which prevents the list of C-states shown by the sysfs interface from
   becoming incorrect when the current number of them is different from
   the number of C-states on boot (Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz).

 - The cpufreq core updates the policy object of the only online CPU
   during system resume to make it reflect the current hardware state,
   but it always assumes that CPU to be CPU0 which need not be the
   case, so fix the code to avoid that assumption (Viresh Kumar).
