Linux 4.2-rc1

Allwinner late changes for 4.2

A bunch of defconfig changes, and some patches to make the Allwinner H3 and
A33 boot properly.

Except for the preempt notifiers fix, these are all small bugfixes
that could have been waited for -rc2.  Sending them now since I
was taking care of Peter's patch anyway.

This is the 3.14.47 stable release

This is the 3.10.83 stable release

- dsi improvements (Gaurav)
- bxt ddi dpll hw state readout (Imre)
- chv dvfs support and overall wm improvements for both vlv and chv (Ville)
- ppgtt polish from Mika and Michel
- cdclk support for bxt (Bob Pauwe)
- make frontbuffer tracking more precise
- OLR removal (John Harrison)
- per-ctx WA batch buffer support (Arun Siluvery)
- remvoe KMS Kconfig option (Chris)
- more hpd handling refactoring from Jani
- use atomic states throughout modeset code and integrate with atomic plane
  update (Maarten)

The changes to the common clock framework for 4.2 are dominated by new
drivers and updates to existing ones, as usual. There are some fixes to
the framework itself and several cleanups for sparse warnings, etc.
Please consider pulling.

IOMMU Fixes for Linux v4.2-rc0

Four fixes have queued up to fix regressions introduced after v4.1:

	* Don't fail IOMMU driver initialization when the add_device
	  call-back returns -ENODEV, as that just means that the device
	  is not translated by the IOMMU. This is pretty common on ARM.

	* Two fixes for the ARM-SMMU driver for a wrong feature check
	  and to remove a redundant NULL check.

	* A fix for the AMD IOMMU driver to fix a boot panic on systems
	  where the BIOS requests Unity Mappings in the IVRS table.

sound fixes for 4.2-rc1

Here are a bunch of small fixes, mostly for HD-audio quirks, in
addition to a few regression fixes and trivial cleanups.

This is the 4.1.1 stable release

This is the 4.0.7 stable release

This is the 3.14.46 stable release

This is the 3.10.82 stable release

media updates for v4.2-rc1

sound updates for 4.2-rc1

It was a busy development cycle at this time, as you can see a wide
range of changes in diffstat.  There are no big changes but many
refactoring and improvements.  Here we go some highlights:

* ALSA core:
- Procfs codes were cleaned up to use seq_file
- Procfs can be opt out via Kconfig (only for EXPERT)
- Two types of jack API were unified finally; now both kctl and input
  jack devs are handled via a single function call.

* HD-audio
- Continued code restructuring for the future ASoC driver; now HDA
  controller driver is split to a core helper module.
- Preliminary codes for Skylake audio support in HDA core.
- Proper i915 gfx power well management for SKL & co
- Enabled runtime PM as default for Intel HDMI/DP codecs
- Newer Tegra chip supports
- More quirks for Dell headsets, Alienware (with CA0132), etc.
- A couple of DRM ELD helper API functions

* ASoC
- Support for loading ASoC topology maps from firmware, intended to be
  used to allow self-describing DSP firmware images to be built which
  can map controls added by the DSP to userspace without the kernel
  needing to know about individual DSP firmwares
- Lots of refactoring to avoid direct access to snd_soc_codec where
  it's not needed supporting future refactoring
- Big refactoring, cleanup and enhancement for the Wolfson ADSP driver
- Cleanup series for TI TAS2552 and R-CAR drivers
- Fixes and improvements on RT56xx codecs
- Support for TI TAS571x power amplifiers
- Support for Qualcomm APQ8016 and ZTE ZX296702 SoCs
- Support for x86 systems with RT5650 and Qualcomm Storm
- Support for Mediatek AFE (Audio Front End) unit
- Other various small fixes to ASoC codec drivers

* Firewire
- Enhanced to allow non-blocking streams to use timestamp
  synchronization
- Improve support for DM1500 and BeBoBv3

* Misc
- Cleanup of old pci API functions over all PCI sound drivers
- Fix long-standing regression of the old powermac i2c setup

The bulk of the changes here is for x86.  And for once it's not
for silicon that no one owns: these are really new features for
everyone.

* ARM: several features are in progress but missed the 4.2 deadline.
So here is just a smattering of bug fixes, plus enabling the VFIO
integration.

* s390: Some fixes/refactorings/optimizations, plus support for
2GB pages.

* x86: 1) host and guest support for marking kvmclock as a stable
scheduler clock. 2) support for write combining. 3) support for
system management mode, needed for secure boot in guests. 4) a bunch
of cleanups required for 2+3.  5) support for virtualized performance
counters on AMD; 6) legacy PCI device assignment is deprecated and
defaults to "n" in Kconfig; VFIO replaces it.  On top of this there are
also bug fixes and eager FPU context loading for FPU-heavy guests.

* Common code: Support for multiple address spaces; for now it is
used only for x86 SMM but the s390 folks also have plans.

There are some x86 conflicts, one with the rc8 pull request and
the rest with Ingo's FPU rework.
