ARM: SoC updates for 3.16 (part 2)

This is a small follow-up to the larger ARM SoC updates merged
last week, almost entirely for the keystone platform.

The main change here is to use the new dma-ranges parsing code
that came in through Russell's ARM tree. This allows the keystone
platform to do cache-coherent DMA and to finally support all the
available physical memory when LPAE is enabled.

Aside from this, the keystone reset driver has been rewritten,
and there is a small bug fix to allow building the orion5x platform
again.

Rebase of Emilio's clk-sunxi-for-3.16 on top of clk-next

Fixed a few compilation warnings exposed by a patch introduced during the 3.16
merge window.

Original tag message:

Allwinner sunXi SoCs clock changes

This pull contains some new code to add support for A31 clocks by Maxime
and Boris. It also reworks the driver a bit to avoid having a huge
single file when we have a full folder for ourselves, and separating
different functional units makes sense.

IOMMU Updates for Linux v3.16

The changes include:

	* A new IOMMU driver for ARM Renesas SOCs

	* Updates and fixes for the ARM Exynos driver to bring it closer
	  to a usable state again

	* Convert the AMD IOMMUv2 driver to use the
	  mmu_notifier->release call-back instead of the task_exit
	  notifier

	* Random other fixes and minor improvements to a number of other
	  IOMMU drivers

sound updates for 3.16-rc1

At this time, majority of changes come from ASoC world while we got a
few new drivers in other places for FireWire and USB.  There have been
lots of ASoC core cleanups / refactoring, but very little visible to
external users.

ASoC
- Support for specifying aux CODECs in DT
- Removal of the deprecated mux and enum macros
- More moves towards full componentisation
- Removal of some unused I/O code
- Lots of cleanups, fixes and enhancements to the davinci, Freescale,
  Haswell and Realtek drivers
- Several drivers exposed directly in Kconfig for use with simple-card
- GPIO descriptor support for jacks
- More updates and fixes to the Freescale SSI, Intel and rsnd drivers
- New drivers for Cirrus CS42L56, Realtek RT5639, RT5642 and RT5651 and
  ST STA350, Analog Devices ADAU1361, ADAU1381, ADAU1761 and ADAU1781,
  and Realtek RT5677

HD-audio:
- Clean up Dell headset quirks
- Noise fixes for Dell and Sony laptops
- Thinkpad T440 dock fix
- Realtek codec updates (ALC293,ALC233,ALC3235)
- Tegra HD-audio HDMI support

FireWire-audio:
- FireWire audio stack enhancement (AMDTP, MIDI), support for incoming
  isochronous stream and duplex streams with timestamp synchronization
- BeBoB-based devices support
- Fireworks-based device support

USB-audio:
- Behringer BCD2000 USB device support

Misc:
- Clean up of a few old drivers, atmel, fm801, etc

DeviceTree for 3.16:
- Another round of clean-up of FDT related code in architecture code.
  This removes knowledge of internal FDT details from most architectures
  except powerpc.
- Conversion of kernel's custom FDT parsing code to use libfdt.
- DT based initialization for generic serial earlycon. The introduction
  of generic serial earlycon support went in thru tty tree.
- Improve the platform device naming for DT probed devices to ensure
  unique naming and use parent names instead of a global index.
- Fix a race condition in of_update_property.
- Unify the various linker section OF match tables and fix several
  function prototype errors.
- Update platform_get_irq_byname to work in deferred probe cases.
- 2 binding doc updates

At over 200 commits, covering almost all supported architectures, this
was a pretty active cycle for KVM.  Changes include:

- a lot of s390 changes: optimizations, support for migration,
  GDB support and more

- ARM changes are pretty small: support for the PSCI 0.2 hypercall
  interface on both the guest and the host (the latter acked by Catalin)

- initial POWER8 and little-endian host support

- support for running u-boot on embedded POWER targets

- pretty large changes to MIPS too, completing the userspace interface
  and improving the handling of virtualized timer hardware

- for x86, a larger set of changes is scheduled for 3.17.  Still,
  we have a few emulator bugfixes and support for running nested
  fully-virtualized Xen guests (para-virtualized Xen guests have
  always worked).  And some optimizations too.

The only missing architecture here is ia64.  It's not a coincidence
that support for KVM on ia64 is scheduled for removal in 3.17.

ACPI and power management updates for 3.16-rc1

 - ACPICA update to upstream version 20140424.  That includes a
   number of fixes and improvements related to things like GPE
   handling, table loading, headers, memory mapping and unmapping,
   DSDT/SSDT overriding, and the Unload() operator.  The acpidump
   utility from upstream ACPICA is included too.  From Bob Moore,
   Lv Zheng, David Box, David Binderman, and Colin Ian King.

 - Fixes and cleanups related to ACPI video and backlight interfaces
   from Hans de Goede.  That includes blacklist entries for some new
   machines and using native backlight by default.

 - ACPI device enumeration changes to create platform devices
   rather than PNP devices for ACPI device objects with _HID by
   default.  PNP devices will still be created for the ACPI device
   object with device IDs corresponding to real PNP devices, so
   that change should not break things left and right, and we're
   expecting to see more and more ACPI-enumerated platform devices
   in the future.  From Zhang Rui and Rafael J Wysocki.

 - Updates for the ACPI LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver allowing
   it to handle system suspend/resume on Asus T100 correctly.
   From Heikki Krogerus and Rafael J Wysocki.

 - PM core update introducing a mechanism to allow runtime-suspended
   devices to stay suspended over system suspend/resume transitions
   if certain additional conditions related to coordination within
   device hierarchy are met.  Related PM documentation update and
   ACPI PM domain support for the new feature.  From Rafael J Wysocki.

 - Fixes and improvements related to the "freeze" sleep state. They
   affect several places including cpuidle, PM core, ACPI core, and
   the ACPI battery driver.  From Rafael J Wysocki and Zhang Rui.

 - Miscellaneous fixes and updates of the ACPI core from Aaron Lu,
   Bjørn Mork, Hanjun Guo, Lan Tianyu, and Rafael J Wysocki.

 - Fixes and cleanups for the ACPI processor and ACPI PAD (Processor
   Aggregator Device) drivers from Baoquan He, Manuel Schölling,
   Tony Camuso, and Toshi Kani.

 - System suspend/resume optimization in the ACPI battery driver from
   Lan Tianyu.

 - OPP (Operating Performance Points) subsystem updates from
   Chander Kashyap, Mark Brown, and Nishanth Menon.

 - cpufreq core fixes, updates and cleanups from Srivatsa S Bhat,
   Stratos Karafotis, and Viresh Kumar.

 - Updates, fixes and cleanups for the Tegra, powernow-k8, imx6q,
   s5pv210, nforce2, and powernv cpufreq drivers from Brian Norris,
   Jingoo Han, Paul Bolle, Philipp Zabel, Stratos Karafotis, and
   Viresh Kumar.

 - intel_pstate driver fixes and cleanups from Dirk Brandewie,
   Doug Smythies, and Stratos Karafotis.

 - Enabling the big.LITTLE cpufreq driver on arm64 from Mark Brown.

 - Fix for the cpuidle menu governor from Chander Kashyap.

 - New ARM clps711x cpuidle driver from Alexander Shiyan.

 - Hibernate core fixes and cleanups from Chen Gang, Dan Carpenter,
   Fabian Frederick, Pali Rohár, and Sebastian Capella.

 - Intel RAPL (Running Average Power Limit) driver updates from
   Jacob Pan.

 - PNP subsystem updates from Bjorn Helgaas and Fabian Frederick.

 - devfreq core updates from Chanwoo Choi and Paul Bolle.

 - devfreq updates for exynos4 and exynos5 from Chanwoo Choi and
   Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz.
