IOMMU Fixes for Linux v4.4-rc8

The patches include fixes for:

	* Two build issues, one in the ipmmu-vmsa driver and one for the
	  new generic dma-api implemention used on arm64

	* A performance fix for said dma-api implemention

	* An issue caused by a wrong offset in map_sg in the same code
	  as above

sound fixes for 4.4

A slightly higher volume than a new year's wish, but not too
worrisome: a large LOC is only for HD-audio device-specific quirks,
so fairly safe to apply.  The rest ASoC fixes are all trivial and
small; a simple replacement of mutex call with nested lock version,
a few Arizona and Realtek codec fixes, and a regression fix for
Skylake firmware handling.

ASoC: Last minute fixes for v4.4

A few final fixes for v4.4, the main one being the two patches to the
new Sky Lake drivers which fix a previous incorrect fix that went in
during an earlier -rc.

brcfmac

* fix IBSS which got broken over time
* new USB id for bcm43242 dongle
* arp offload configuration through inet notifier

ath9k

* add random number generator support (CONFIG_ATH9K_HWRNG)

iwlwifi

* Make scan parameters low latency aware
* Fix in the NL80211_FEATURE_FULL_AP_CLIENT_STATE state case
* Fix enable injection mode (Chaya Rachel)
* Various cleanups (Dan / Julia / myself)
* Allow to stay more time on popular channels (David Spinadel)
* Bug fixes for D0i3 (Eliad / Luca)
* Fixes for GO uAPSD (myself)
* Start of TSO support (myself)
* Rate control bug fixes (Eyal / Gregory)
* Start the work on 9000 devices (Johannes / Sara / Oren)

Linux 4.4-rc8

This is the 3.2.75 stable release

iwlwifi

* don't load firmware that won't exist for 7260
* fix RCU splat

Linux 4.4-rc7

Power management and ACPI fixes for v4.4-rc7

 - Fix a thermal management issue introduced by an ACPI processor
   driver change made during the 4.3 development cycle that failed
   to return 0 from a function on success which triggered an error
   cleanup path every time it had been called that deleted useful
   data structures created previously (Srinivas Pandruvada).

 - Fix a variable data type issue in the arm_big_little cpufreq
   driver's SCPI support code added recently that prevents error
   handling in there from working correctly (Dan Carpenter).

sound fixes for 4.4-rc7

This shouldn't be a nightmare before Christmas: just a handful
small device-specific fixes for various ASoC and HD-audio drivers.
Most of them are stable fixes.

ASoC: Updates for v4.5

This is quite a busy release on the driver front with a lot of new
drivers being added but comparatively quiet on the core side with only
one big change going in and that a fairly straightforward refactoring.

 - Conversion of the array of DAI links to a list by Mengdong Lin,
   supporting dynamically adding and removing DAI links.
 - Some more fixes for the topology code, though it is still not final
   and ready for enabling in production.  We really need to get to the
   point where that can be done.
 - A pile of changes for Intel SkyLake drivers which hopefully deliver
   some useful initial functionality for systems with this chipset,
   though there is more work still to come.
 - New drivers for a number of Imagination Technologies IPs.
 - Lots of new features and cleanups for the Renesas drivers.
 - ANC support for WM5110.
 - New driver for Atmel class D speaker drivers.
 - New drivers for Cirrus CS47L24 and WM1831.
 - New driver for Dialog DA7128.
 - New drivers for Realtek RT5659 and RT56156.
 - New driver for Rockchip RK3036.
 - New driver for TI PC3168A
