wireless-drivers-next patches for 4.19

This time a bigger pull request as we have two new Mediatek drivers
MT76x2u (CONFIG_MT76x2U) and MT76x0U (CONFIG_MT76x0U). Also iwlwifi got
support for the new IEEE 802.11ax standard, the successor for
802.11ac. And naturally smaller new features and bugfixes all over.

Major changes:

wcn36xx

* fix WEP in client mode

wil6210

* add support for Talyn-MB (Talyn ver 2.0) device

* add support for enhanced DMA firmware feature

iwlwifi

* implement 802.11ax D2.0

* support for the new 22560 device family

* new PCI IDs for 22000 and 22560

qtnfmac

* implement cfg80211 power management callback

* enable multiple SSIDs scan support

* qtnfmac: implement basic WoWLAN support

mt7601u

* fall back to software encryption for hw unsupported ciphers

* enable 802.11 Management Frame Protection (MFP)

mt76

* support setting RTS threshold

* add USB support

* add support for MT76x2u devices

* add support for MT76x0U devices

mwifiex

* allow user space to set all other IEs except WMM IE

rsi

* add firmware support for AP+BT dual mode

This is the 4.9.117 stable release

This is the 4.14.60 stable release

media fixes for v4.18-rc8

"LE.UM.2.3.7-02300-sda845.0"

Fixes an oops on the DP CEC code and a memory leak on the vkms driver.

Third set of IIO new device support, cleanups and features for the 4.19 cycle.

This is a somewhat sneaky late pull request given Linus has announced
a likely 1 week delay.  If it is too late I'll resend after the merge
window.  I merged in the fixes branch as those are primarily around
things queued for the merge window.

Particulary good to see the output of our Himanshu Jha, a GSOC student
who developed the bme680 driver.

New device support:
* bme680 gas sensor (with temperature, humidity and pressure)
  - new driver to support this device
* vcn4000
  - support vcnl4200 (lots of rework to allow this)
  - ids added for VCNL4010 and VCNL4020 sensors

New features:
* ad9523
  - support the various external signal options via gpios.

Cleanups and fixes
* ad_sigma_delta
  - unsigned long for a timeout.
* ad9523
  - fix a wrong return value that was indicating successful write failed
    and might lead to an infinite loop.
* si1133
  - fix an impossible test.
  - fix an uninitialsed variable by reading from the device in all paths.
* xilinx xadc
  - check for return values in clk related functions
  - limit the pcap clock frequency to supported ranges.
  - stash the irq to avoid calling platform_get_irq from the remove path.
  - ensure the irq is actually requested before we enable the hardware to
    output it.

Urgent power management fixes for 4.18

 - Use ACPI FADT preferred PM Profile to distinguish Skylake
   desktop processors from some server ones with the same model
   number in order to limit the scope of the recent IO-wait boost
   optimization to servers, as intended (Srinivas Pandruvada).

 - Fix several issues in the turbostat utility:
   * Fix the -S option on 1-CPU systems (Len Brown).
   * Fix computations using incorrect processor core counts (Artem
     Bityutskiy).
   * Fix the x2apic debug message (Len Brown).
   * Fix logical node enumeration to allow for non-sequential
     physical nodes (Prarit Bhargava).
   * Fix reported family on modern AMD processors (Calvin Walton).
   * Clarify the RAPL column information in the man page (Len Brown).

Duty cycle support for the clk api and drivers.

"LE.UM.2.3.7-02100-sda845.0"

wireless-drivers fixes for 4.18

Last set of fixes before 4.18 is released

iwlwifi

* add new IDs for cards already available on the market

brcmfmac

* fix a regression introduced in v4.17

Urgent ACPI fixes for 4.18

 - Fix a recent ACPICA regression introduced by a previous fix
   that caused control method execution at the table level to be
   mishandled by mistake (Erik Schmauss).

 - Fix a hibernation regression from the 4.15 cycle in the ACPI
   driver for Intel SoCs (LPSS) that caused the platform firmware
   to be confused during resume from hibernation by the driver's
   PM quirks which was fixed for system-wide suspend/resume (ACPI
   S3) earlier in this cycle, but that previous fix missed the
   hibernation (ACPI S4) case (Rafael Wysocki).
