More ACPI and power management updates for 3.16-rc1

 - I didn't remember correctly that the Hans de Goede's ACPI video
   patches actually didn't flip the video.use_native_backlight
   default, although we had discussed that and decided to do that.
   Since I said we would do that in the previous PM+ACPI pull
   request, make that change for real now.

 - ACPI bus check notifications for PCI host bridges don't cause
   the bus below the host bridge to be checked for changes as they
   should because of a mistake in the ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP)
   subsystem that forgets to add hotplug contexts to PCI host bridge
   ACPI device objects.  Create hotplug contexts for PCI host bridges
   too as appropriate.

 - Revert recent cpufreq commit related to the big.LITTLE cpufreq
   driver that breaks arm64 builds.

 - Fix for a regression in the ppc-corenet cpufreq driver introduced
   during the 3.15 cycle and causing the driver to use the remainder
   from do_div instead of the quotient.  From Ed Swarthout.

 - Resets triggered by panic activate a BUG_ON() in vmalloc.c on
   systems where the ACPI reset register is located in memory address
   space.  Fix from Randy Wright.

 - Fix for a problem with cpufreq governors that decisions made by
   them may be suboptimal due to the fact that deferrable timers are
   used by them for CPU load sampling.  From Srivatsa S Bhat.

 - Fix for a problem with the Tegra cpufreq driver where the CPU
   frequency is temporarily switched to a "stable" level that
   is different from both the initial and target frequencies
   during transitions which causes udelay() to expire earlier than
   it should sometimes.  From Viresh Kumar.

 - New trace points and rework of some existing trace points for
   system suspend/resume profiling from Todd Brandt.

 - Assorted cpufreq fixes and cleanups from Stratos Karafotis and
   Viresh Kumar.

 - Copyright notice update for suspend-and-cpuhotplug.txt from
   Srivatsa S Bhat.

ARM: SoC updates for 3.16 (part 2)

This is a small follow-up to the larger ARM SoC updates merged
last week, almost entirely for the keystone platform.

The main change here is to use the new dma-ranges parsing code
that came in through Russell's ARM tree. This allows the keystone
platform to do cache-coherent DMA and to finally support all the
available physical memory when LPAE is enabled.

Aside from this, the keystone reset driver has been rewritten,
and there is a small bug fix to allow building the orion5x platform
again.

Rebase of Emilio's clk-sunxi-for-3.16 on top of clk-next

Fixed a few compilation warnings exposed by a patch introduced during the 3.16
merge window.

Original tag message:

Allwinner sunXi SoCs clock changes

This pull contains some new code to add support for A31 clocks by Maxime
and Boris. It also reworks the driver a bit to avoid having a huge
single file when we have a full folder for ourselves, and separating
different functional units makes sense.

This is the 3.12.22 stable release

Linux 3.15

This is the 3.4.92 stable release

LLVMLinux patches for v3.16

A handful of VFIO bug fixes for v3.16

IOMMU Updates for Linux v3.16

The changes include:

	* A new IOMMU driver for ARM Renesas SOCs

	* Updates and fixes for the ARM Exynos driver to bring it closer
	  to a usable state again

	* Convert the AMD IOMMUv2 driver to use the
	  mmu_notifier->release call-back instead of the task_exit
	  notifier

	* Random other fixes and minor improvements to a number of other
	  IOMMU drivers

sound updates for 3.16-rc1

At this time, majority of changes come from ASoC world while we got a
few new drivers in other places for FireWire and USB.  There have been
lots of ASoC core cleanups / refactoring, but very little visible to
external users.

ASoC
- Support for specifying aux CODECs in DT
- Removal of the deprecated mux and enum macros
- More moves towards full componentisation
- Removal of some unused I/O code
- Lots of cleanups, fixes and enhancements to the davinci, Freescale,
  Haswell and Realtek drivers
- Several drivers exposed directly in Kconfig for use with simple-card
- GPIO descriptor support for jacks
- More updates and fixes to the Freescale SSI, Intel and rsnd drivers
- New drivers for Cirrus CS42L56, Realtek RT5639, RT5642 and RT5651 and
  ST STA350, Analog Devices ADAU1361, ADAU1381, ADAU1761 and ADAU1781,
  and Realtek RT5677

HD-audio:
- Clean up Dell headset quirks
- Noise fixes for Dell and Sony laptops
- Thinkpad T440 dock fix
- Realtek codec updates (ALC293,ALC233,ALC3235)
- Tegra HD-audio HDMI support

FireWire-audio:
- FireWire audio stack enhancement (AMDTP, MIDI), support for incoming
  isochronous stream and duplex streams with timestamp synchronization
- BeBoB-based devices support
- Fireworks-based device support

USB-audio:
- Behringer BCD2000 USB device support

Misc:
- Clean up of a few old drivers, atmel, fm801, etc

DeviceTree for 3.16:
- Another round of clean-up of FDT related code in architecture code.
  This removes knowledge of internal FDT details from most architectures
  except powerpc.
- Conversion of kernel's custom FDT parsing code to use libfdt.
- DT based initialization for generic serial earlycon. The introduction
  of generic serial earlycon support went in thru tty tree.
- Improve the platform device naming for DT probed devices to ensure
  unique naming and use parent names instead of a global index.
- Fix a race condition in of_update_property.
- Unify the various linker section OF match tables and fix several
  function prototype errors.
- Update platform_get_irq_byname to work in deferred probe cases.
- 2 binding doc updates

At over 200 commits, covering almost all supported architectures, this
was a pretty active cycle for KVM.  Changes include:

- a lot of s390 changes: optimizations, support for migration,
  GDB support and more

- ARM changes are pretty small: support for the PSCI 0.2 hypercall
  interface on both the guest and the host (the latter acked by Catalin)

- initial POWER8 and little-endian host support

- support for running u-boot on embedded POWER targets

- pretty large changes to MIPS too, completing the userspace interface
  and improving the handling of virtualized timer hardware

- for x86, a larger set of changes is scheduled for 3.17.  Still,
  we have a few emulator bugfixes and support for running nested
  fully-virtualized Xen guests (para-virtualized Xen guests have
  always worked).  And some optimizations too.

The only missing architecture here is ia64.  It's not a coincidence
that support for KVM on ia64 is scheduled for removal in 3.17.
