sound fixes for 3.19-rc3

Nothing too exciting as a new year's start here: most of fixes are for
ASoC, a boot crash fix on OMAP for deferred probe, a few driver
specific fixes (Intel, dwc, rockchip, rt5677), in addition to typo
fixes in kerneldoc comments for PCM.

This is the 3.2.66 stable release

misc fixes in PHY drivers

Power management and ACPI material for 3.19-rc3

 - Fix for a potential NULL pointer dereference in the cpufreq
   core due to an initialization race condition (Ethan Zhao).

 - Fixes for abuse of the OPP (Operating Performance Points) API
   related to RCU and other minor issues in the OPP library and
   the cpufreq-dt driver (Dmitry Torokhov).

 - cpuidle governors cleanup making them measure idle duration in
   a better way without using the CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_INVALID flag
   which allows that flag to be dropped from the ACPI cpuidle driver
   and from the core too (Len Brown).

 - New ACPI backlight blacklist entries for Samsung machines
   without a working native backlight interface that need to
   use the ACPI backlight instead (Aaron Lu).

 - New CPU IDs of future Intel Xeon CPUs for the Intel RAPL power
   capping driver (Jacob Pan).

 - Generic power domains framework modification to export the
   of_genpd_get_from_provider() function to modular drivers that
   will allow future driver modifications to be based on the mainline
   (Amit Daniel Kachhap).

 - Two fixes for the cpupower tool (Michal Privoznik, Prarit Bhargava).

regulator: Fix for v3.19

One fix here, a fix for the voltage mapping on one of the s2mps11
regulators which broke systems using it including apparently the Gear 2
smartwatches.

ASoC: Updates for v3.20

Nothing too exciting here yet, a small optimization for DAPM from
Lars-Peter and a few small bits and pieces for drivers but nothing
that really stands out.

ASoC: Fixes for v3.19

A few fixes for v3.19, a few driver specifics and one core fix which
fixes a boot crash on OMAP if deferred probing kicks in due to
attempting to modify static data.

Linux 3.19-rc2

sound fixes for 3.19-rc2

Just a couple of fixes for the new Intel Skylake HD-audio support.

o Paul made a Kconfig dependency fix to ipw2200, it was not possible to
  enable that driver because Wireless Extensions is now disabled by default.

o Mika fixed brcmfmac not to crash when platform data is not populated

o Emmanuel provided few fixes to iwlwifi, he says:

  "I have here new device IDs and a fix for double free bug I
  introduced. I also fix an issue with the RFKILL interrupt - the HW
  needs us to ACK the interrupt again after we reset it. Liad fixes an
  issue with the firmware debugging infrastructure. While working on
  torture scenarios of firmware restarts, Eliad found an issue which
  he fixed."

Linux 3.19-rc1

CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME elimination for 3.19-rc1

This removes the last few uses of CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME introduced
recently and makes that config option finally go away.

CONFIG_PM will be available directly from the menu now and
also it will be selected automatically if CONFIG_SUSPEND or
CONFIG_HIBERNATION is set.

- plane handling refactoring from Matt Roper and Gustavo Padovan in prep for
  atomic updates
- fixes and more patches for the seqno to request transformation from John
- docbook for fbc from Rodrigo
- prep work for dual-link dsi from Gaurav Signh
- crc fixes from Ville
- special ggtt views infrastructure from Tvrtko Ursulin
- shadow patch copying for the cmd parser from Brad Volkin
- execlist and full ppgtt by default on gen8, for testing for now

More ACPI and power management updates for 3.19-rc1

 - Fix a regression in leds-gpio introduced by a recent commit that
   inadvertently changed the name of one of the properties used by
   the driver (Fabio Estevam).

 - Fix a regression in the ACPI backlight driver introduced by a
   recent fix that missed one special case that had to be taken
   into account (Aaron Lu).

 - Drop the level of some new kernel messages from the ACPI core
   introduced by a recent commit to KERN_DEBUG which they should
   have used from the start and drop some other unuseful KERN_ERR
   messages printed by ACPI (Rafael J Wysocki).

 - Revert an incorrect commit modifying the cpupower tool
   (Prarit Bhargava).

 - Fix two regressions introduced by recent commits in the OPP
   library and clean up some existing minor issues in that code
   (Viresh Kumar).

 - Continue to replace CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME with CONFIG_PM throughout
   the tree (or drop it where that can be done) in order to make
   it possible to eliminate CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME (Rafael J Wysocki,
   Ulf Hansson, Ludovic Desroches).  There will be one more
   "CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME removal" batch after this one, because some
   new uses of it have been introduced during the current merge
   window, but that should be sufficient to finally get rid of it.

 - Make the ACPI EC driver more robust against race conditions
   related to GPE handler installation failures (Lv Zheng).

 - Prevent the ACPI device PM core code from attempting to
   disable GPEs that it has not enabled which confuses ACPICA
   and makes it report errors unnecessarily (Rafael J Wysocki).

 - Add a "force" command line switch to the intel_pstate driver
   to make it possible to override the blacklisting of some
   systems in that driver if needed (Ethan Zhao).

 - Improve intel_pstate code documentation and add a MAINTAINERS
   entry for it (Kristen Carlson Accardi).

 - Make the ACPI fan driver create cooling device interfaces
   witn names that reflect the IDs of the ACPI device objects
   they are associated with, except for "generic" ACPI fans
   (PNP ID "PNP0C0B").  That's necessary for user space thermal
   management tools to be able to connect the fans with the
   parts of the system they are supposed to be cooling properly.

sound fixes for 3.19-rc1

Here are a few fixes that have landed after the previous pull
request.  All are driver specific fixes including:
- error/int value fixes in OXFW,
- Intel Skylake HD-audio HDMI codec support,
- Additional HD-audio Realtek codecs and AD1986A codec fixes/quirks,
- a few more DSD support and a quirk for Arcam rPAC in usb-audio,
- a typo fix for Scarlett 6i6,
- fixes for new ASIHPI firmware,
- ASoC Exynos7 cleanups,
- Intel ACPI support, and
- a fix for PCM512 register cache sync.

This relatively large collection of fixes is all over - from things
that were broken a long time ago (the management key issue) but not
noticed yet, to small issues that were only introduced into 3.19
(like the multicast issue). At least one issue is old but can crash
the kernel based on invalid userspace requests (the nl80211 matches
array one.)

media updates for v3.19-rc1

Linaro 14.12

3.19 changes for KVM:
- spring cleaning: removed support for IA64, and for hardware-assisted
virtualization on the PPC970
- ARM, PPC, s390 all had only small fixes

For x86:
- small performance improvements (though only on weird guests)
- usual round of hardware-compliancy fixes from Nadav
- APICv fixes
- XSAVES support for hosts and guests.  XSAVES hosts were broken because
the (non-KVM) XSAVES patches inadvertently changed the KVM userspace
ABI whenever XSAVES was enabled; hence, this part is going to stable.
Guest support is just a matter of exposing the feature and CPUID leaves
support.

Right now KVM is broken for PPC BookE in your tree (doesn't compile).
I'll reply to the pull request with a patch, please apply it either
before the pull request or in the merge commit, in order to preserve
bisectability somewhat.
