A few more fixes:
 * better mesh path fixing, from Thomas
 * fix TIM IE recalculation after sending frames
   to a sleeping station, from Felix
 * fix sequence number assignment while sending
   frames to a sleeping station, also from Felix
 * validate number of probe response CSA counter
   offsets, fixing a copy/paste bug (from myself)

Second set of iio new device support, features and cleanups for the 4.9 cycle.

New device support
* ad8801 dac
  - new driver supporting ad8801 and ad8803 DACs.
* adc12138
  - new driver supporting TI adc12130/adc12132 and adc12138 ADCs.
* ltc2485 adc
  - new driver
* mxc6255
  - add support for the mxc6225 part name and fixup the ID check so it works.
* vz89x VOC sensor
  - add support for the vz89te part which drops the voc_short channel and adds
    CRCs compared to other supported parts.

New features
* core
  - immutable triggers.  These effectively grant exclusive control over a
    trigger. The typical usecase is a device representing an analog part
    (perhaps a MUX) that needs to control the sampling of a downstream
    ADC.
  - resource managed trigger registration and triggered_buffer_init.
  - iio_push_event now protected against case of the event interface
    registration not having yet occured.  Only matters if an interrupt
    can occur during this window - might happen on shared interrupt lines.
  - helper to let a driver query if the trigger it is using is provided by
    itself (using the convention of both device and trigger having the same
    parent).
* tools
  - iio-utils. Used channel modifier scaling in preference to generic scaling
    when both exist.
* at91-adc
  - Add support for touchscreen switches closure time needed by some newer
    parts.
* stx104
  - support the ADC channels on this ADC/DAC board. As these are the primary
    feature of the board also move the driver to the iio/adc directory.
* sx9500
  - device tree bindings.

Cleanups / Fixes
* ad5755
  - fix an off-by-one on devnr limit check (introduced earlier this cycle)
* ad7266
  - drop NULL check on devm_regulator_get_optional as it can't return NULL.
* ak8974
  - avoid an unused functional warning due to rework in PM core code.
  - remove .owner field setting as done by i2c_core.
* ina2xx
  - clear out a left over debug field from chip global data.
* hid-sensors
  - avoid an unused functional warning due to rework in PM core code.
* maxim-thermocouple
  - fix non static symbol warnings.
* ms5611
  - fetch and enable regulators unconditionally when they aren't optional.
* sca3000
  - whitespace cleanup.
* st_sensors
  - fetch and enable regulators unconditionally rather than having them
    supported as optional regulators (missunderstanding on my part amongst
    others a while back)
  - followup to previous patch fixes error checking on the regulators.
  - mark symbols static where possible.
  - use the 'is it my trigger' help function.  This prevents the odd case
    of another device triggering from the st-sensors trigger whilst the
    st-sensors trigger is itself not using it but rather using say an hrtimer.
* ti-ads1015
  - add missing of_node_put.
* vz89x
  - rework to all support of new devices.
  - prevent reading of a corrupted buffer.
  - fixup a return value of 0/1 in a bool returning function.

Address updates
- Vlad Dogaru email address change.

Linux 4.8-rc6

Allwinner ARM64 Kconfig changes

Select the pinctrl driver in kconfig

Allwinner core changes for 4.9

Add support for big endian on the Allwinner A20, and the Nextthing GR8 SoC

Allwinner DRM changes for 4.9

This tag adds the support of a new SoC to sun4i-drm (the Allwinner A33),
and the usual few fixes and enhancements

Allwinner DT changes for 4.9, take 2

A second set of device tree changes, this time switching a few SoCs to the
new sunxi-ng clock framework. We also added the support for a new SoC
(NextThing GR8 and its evaluation board), and the support for the DRM
driver in the A33.

Allwinner Clock changes for 4.9

Four more SoCs converted to the new clock framework (A31, A31s, A23 and
A33).

This is the 3.14.79 stable release

Power management fixes for v4.8-rc6

 - If the PM QoS framework invokes cancel_delayed_work_sync() during
   early boot, it will enable interrupts which is not expected at
   that point, so prevent it from happening (Tejun Heo).

 - Fix cpufreq statistic documentation to follow a recent change in
   behavior that forgot to update it as appropriate (Jean Delvare).

GPIO fixes for v4.8:

- Revert a pointless attempt to add an include to solve the UM
  allyes compilation problem.
- Make the mcp23s08 depend on OF_GPIO as it uses it and doesn't
  compile properly without it.
- Fix a probing problem for ucb1x00.

sound fixes for 4.8-rc6

We've got quite a few fixes at this time, and all are stable patches.
syzkaller strikes back again (episode 19 or so), and we had to plug
some holes in ALSA core part (mostly timer).  In addition, a couple of
FireWire audio fixes for the invalid copy user calls in locks, and a
few quirks for HD-audio and USB-audio as usual are included.

qcomlt-v4.7

wireless-drivers fixes for 4.8

iwlwifi

* fix P2P dump trigger
* prevent a potential null dereference in iwlmvm
* prevent an uninitialized value from being returned in iwlmvm
* advertise support for channel width change in AP mode

ath10k

* fix racy rx status retrieval from htt context
* QCA9887 support is not experimental anymore, remove the warning message

ath9k

* fix regression with led GPIOs
* fix AR5416 GPIO access warning

* avoid potential stack overflow in brcmf_cfg80211_start_ap()

Allwinner DT changes for 4.9

Business as usual on our side, with a mix of new boards and new IPs enabled
on boards:
  - Support for the GPIO found on the AXP PMIC
  - ESP8089 on the relevant boards
  - More boards converted to the reference design and q8 designs
  - New boards: Orange Pi PC Plus, Orange Pi 2, Orange Pi Plus 2E, Orange
    Pi Lite, Olimex A33-Olinuxino, Empire Electronix M712, inet-d978_rev2,
    Nano Pi Neo
