This is the 4.8.9 stable release

This is the 4.4.33 stable release

sound fixes for 4.9-rc6

Three trivial fixes: a regression fix for ASRock mobo, a
use-after-free fix at hot-unplug of USB-audio, and a quirk for new
Thinkpad models.

GPIO fixes for the v4.9 series:

- Finally, after being puzzled by a bunch of recurrent UML
  build failures on randconfigs from the build robot, Keno
  Fischer nailed it: GPIO_DEVRES is optional and depends on
  HAS_IOMEM even though many users just unconditionally rely
  on it to be available. And it *should* be available:
  garbage collection is nice for this and it *certainly* has
  nothing to do with having IOMEM. So we got rid of it, and
  now the UML builds should JustWork(TM).

- Do not call .get_direction() on sleeping GPIO chips on the
  fastpath when locking GPIOs for interrupts: it is done
  from atomic context, no way.

- Some driver fixes.

A few more bugfixes:
 * limit # of scan results stored in memory - this is a long-standing bug
   Jouni and I only noticed while discussing other things in Santa Fe
 * revert AP_LINK_PS patch that was causing issues (Felix)
 * various A-MSDU/A-MPDU fixes for TXQ code (Felix)
 * interoperability workaround for peers with broken VHT capabilities
   (Filip Matusiak)
 * add bitrate definition for a VHT MCS that's supposed to be invalid
   but gets used by some hardware anyway (Thomas Pedersen)
 * beacon timer fix in hwsim (Benjamin Beichler)

i915 fixes + 2 mediatek regressions

fixes for amdgpu, and a bunch of arm drivers.

Allwinner clock changes for 4.10

The usual patches from us, but most notably the introduction of the A64
clocks unit.

Allwinner clock fixes for 4.9

Two fixes, one for the old clock code, one for the new implementation.

sun4i-drm changes for 4.10

Support for the Allwinner A31 SoC display engine using the sun4i-drm
driver.

Allwinner arm64 DT changes for 4.10

Support for the Allwinner A64, their first armv8 SoC.

Allwinner fixes for 4.9

A fix to reintroduce missing pinmux options that turned out not to be
optional.

Allwinner defconfig changes for 4.10

Two patches to enable the dumb VGA bridges in the multi_v7 and sunxi
defconfig.

This is the 4.8.8 stable release

This is the 4.4.32 stable release

Third set of IIO new device support, features and cleanup for the 4.10 cycle.

Includes Peter Rosin's interesting drivers for a comparator. First complex
use we have had with an analog front end made from discrete components.

Brian Masney's work on moving the tsl2583 driver out of staging also
feature extensively!

New Drivers
* DAC based on a digital potentiometer
  - New driver for the use of a dpot as a DAC. Includes bindings and Axentia
  entry in vendor prefixes.
* Envelope detector baed on DAC and a comparator including device tree
  bindings.

Staging Graduation
* tsl2583.

Core new features
- Core provision for _available attributes.   This one had been stalled for
  a long time until Peter picked it up and ran with it!
- In kernel interface helpers to retrieve available info from channels.

Driver new features
* mcp4531
  - Add range of available raw values (used for the dpot dac driver).

Driver cleanups and fixes for issues introduced
* ad7766
  - Testing the wrong variable following devm_regulator_bulk_get introduced
  with the driver earlier in this cycle.
* ad9832
  - Fix a wrong ordering in the probe introduced in the previous set of
    patches.  A use before allocation bug.
* cros_ec_sensors
  - Testing for an error in a u8 will never work.
* mpu3050
  - Remove duplicate initializer for the module owner.
  - Add missing i2c dependency.
  - Inform the i2c mux core how it is used - step one in implifying device
  tree bindings.
* st-sensors
  - Get rid of large number of uninformative defines in favour of putting the
  constants where they are relevant. It is clear what they are from where
  they are used.
* tsl2583
  - Fix unused function warning when CONFIG_PM disabled and remove the
  ifdefs in favour of __maybe_unused.
  - Refactor taos_chip_on  to only read relevant registers.
  - Make sure calibscale and integration time are being set.
  - Verify chip is in ready to be used before calibration.
  - Remove some repeated checks for chip status (it's protected by a mutex
  so can't change until it's released)
  - Change current state storage from a tristate enum to a boolean seeing as
  only two values are actually used now.
  - Drop a redundant write to the control regiser in taos_probe (it's a noop)
  - Drop the FSF mailing address.
  - Clean up logging to not use hard coded function names (use __func__
  instead).
  - Cleanup up variable and function name prefixes.
  - Alignment of #define fixes.
  - Fix comparison between signed and unsigned integer warnings.
  - Add some newlines in favour of readability.
  - Combine the two sysfs ABI docs that somehow ended up in different places.
  - Fix multiline comment syntax.
  - Move a code block to inside an else statement as it makes more sense there.
  - Change tsl2583_als_calibrate to return 0 rather than a value nothing
  reads.
  - Drop some pointless brackets
  - Don't assume 32bit unsigned int.
  - Change to a per device instance lux table.
  - Add missing tsl2583 to the list of supported devices in the intro comments.
  - Improve commment on clearing of interrupts.
  - Drop some uninformative comments.
  - Drop a memset call that doesn't do anything useful any more.
  - Don't initialize some return variables that are always set.
  - Add Brian Masney as a module author after all these changes.

Linux 4.9-rc5

driver core fixes for 4.9-rc5

Here are two driver core fixes for 4.9-rc5.

The first resolves an issue with some drivers not liking to be unbound
and bound again (if CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE is enabled), which
solves some reported problems with graphics and storage drivers.  The
other resolves a smatch error with the 4.9-rc1 driver core changes
around this feature.

Both have been in linux-next with no reported issues.
