This is the 3.12.74 stable release

IOMMU Updates for Linux v4.12

This includes:

	* Some code optimizations for the Intel VT-d driver

	* Code to switch off a previously enabled Intel IOMMU

	* Support for 'struct iommu_device' for OMAP, Rockchip and
	  Mediatek IOMMUs

	* Some header optimizations for IOMMU core code headers and a
	  few fixes that became necessary in other parts of the kernel
	  because of that

	* ACPI/IORT updates and fixes

	* Some Exynos IOMMU optimizations

	* Code updates for the IOMMU dma-api code to bring it closer to
	  use per-cpu iova caches

	* New command-line option to set default domain type allocated
	  by the iommu core code

	* Another command line option to allow the Intel IOMMU switched
	  off in a tboot environment

	* ARM/SMMU: TLB sync optimisations for SMMUv2, Support for using
	  an IDENTITY domain in conjunction with DMA ops, Support for
	  SMR masking, Support for 16-bit ASIDs (was previously broken)

	* Various other small fixes and improvements

A couple more fixes:
 * don't try to authenticate during reconfiguration, which causes
   drivers to get confused
 * fix a kernel-doc warning for a recently merged change
 * fix MU-MIMO group configuration (relevant only for monitor mode)
 * more rate flags fix: remove stray RX_ENC_FLAG_40MHZ
 * fix IBSS probe response allocation size

This is the 4.10.15 stable release

This is the 4.9.27 stable release

This is the 4.4.67 stable release

This is the 3.18.52 stable release

DeviceTree for 4.12:

- Fix sparse warnings in drivers/of/.

- Add more overlay unittests.

files such as unit-address formatting and stricter character sets for
node and property names.

- Add a common DT modalias function.

- Move trivial-devices.txt up and out of i2c dir.

- ARM NVIC interrupt controller binding.

- Vendor prefixes for Sensirion, Dioo, Nordic, ROHM.

- Correct some binding file locations.

Core Changes:
- Add quirk for LGD 764 panel to default 10bpc (Mario)

Core Changes:
- Add Laurent as bridge reviewer and Andrzej as bridge maintainer (Archit)
- Maintain new STM driver through -misc (Yannick)
- Misc doc improvements (as is tradition) (Daniel)

Driver Changes:
- Add out-fence support to vc4 V3D rendering (Eric)
- Add support for stm32f429 display hw and am-480272h3tmqw-t01h panel (Yannick)
- Remove 256MB cma limit from vc4 (Eric)
- Disable dw-hdmi audio when inactive, instead of always enabled (Romain)
- Add support for VGA to the ZTE driver (Shawn)

media updates for v4.12-rc1

drm docs pointer to freedesktop code of conduct.

extra pull request because I missed tegra.

This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.12 kernel cycle:

Core changes

- Return NULL from gpiod_get_optional() when GPIOLIB is disabled.
  This was a much discussed change. It affects use cases where people
  write drivers that might or might not be using GPIO resources.
  I have decided that this is the lesser evil right now.

- Make gpiod_count() behave consistently across different hardware
  descriptions.

- Fix the syntax around open drain/open source to not infer active
  high/low semantics.

New drivers

- A new single-register fixed-direction framework driver for hardware
  that have lines controlled by a single register that just work in
  one direction (out or in), including IRQ support.

- Support the Fintek F71889A GPIO SuperIO controller.

- Support the National NI 169445 MMIO GPIO.

- Support for the X-Gene derivative of the DWC GPIO controller

- Support for the Rohm BD9571MWV-M PMIC GPIO controller.

- Refactor the Gemini GPIO driver to a generic Faraday FTGPIO driver
  and replace both the Gemini and the Moxa ART custom drivers with
  this driver.

Driver improvements

- A whole slew of drivers have their spinlocks chaned to raw spinlocks
  as they provide irqchips, and thus we are progressing on realtime
  compliance.

- Use devm_irq_alloc_descs() in a slew of drivers, getting managed
  resources.

- Support for the embedded PWM controller inside the MVEBU driver.

- Debounce, open source and open drain support for the Aspeed driver.

- Misc smaller fixes like spelling and syntax and whatnot.

This is the 4.10.14 stable release

This is the 4.9.26 stable release

regulator: Updates for v4.12

Quite a lot going on with the regulator API for this release, much more
in the core than in the drivers for a change:

 - Fixes for voltage change propagation through dumb power switches.
 - A notification when regulators are enabled.
 - A new settling time property for regulators where the time taken to
   move to a new voltage is not related to the size of the change.
 - Some reorganization of the Arizona drivers in preparation for sharing
   the code with the next generation devices they've been integrated
   with.
 - Support for newer Freescale chips in the Anatop regulator.
 - A new driver for voltage controlled regulators to cope with some
   exciting ChromeOS hardware designs.
 - Support for Rohm BD9571MWV-M and TI TPS65132.

This is the 4.4.66 stable release

sound updates for 4.12-rc1

It was a relatively calm development cycle, and no scaring changes are
seen in both core and driver sides.  Here are some highlights:

ASoC:
- A new API for hooking up jacks more generically and easily
- Card longname is set based on DMI for a unique UCM profile
- Lots of Intel driver fixes: Atom, Broxton, Skylake and newer chips
- New drivers for Cirrus CS35L35, DIO DIO2125, Everest ES7132,
  HiSilicon hi6210, Maxim MAX98927, MT2701 systems with WM8960, Nuvoton
  NAU8824, Odroid systems, ST STM32 SAI controllers and x86 systems with
  DA7213

HD-audio:
- Many new quirks to support headset for various devices (mostly ASUS
  ones) as usual
- Support for dual codecs on some Gigabyte mobos and Lenovo laptop
- Improvement on PCM position reporting for Skylake and newer

FireWire:
- New drivers for MOTU and RME Fireface series
- Updates for Digidesign Digi00x and TASCAM series
- Support for tracepoints

Others:
- USB-audio: improved support for quirk_alias option
- Cleanups, constification allover the places
