netlink validation fixes for nl80211

This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.13 series:

Core:
- Export add/remove for lookup tables so that modules can export GPIO
  descriptor tables.
- Handle GPIO sleep states: it is now possible to flag that a GPIO line
  may loose its state during suspend/resume of the system to save
  power. This is used in the Wolfson Micro Arizona driver.
- ACPI-based GPIO was tightened up a lot around the edges.
- Use bitmap_fill() to speed up a loop.

New drivers:
- Exar XRA1403 SPI-based GPIO.
- MVEBU driver now supports Armada 7K and 8K.
- LP87565 PMIC GPIO.
- Renesas R-CAR R8A7743 (RZ/G1M).
- The new IOT2040 8250 serial/GPIO also comes in through this
  changeset.

Substantial driver changes:
- Seriously fix the Exar 8250 GPIO portions to work.
- The MCP23S08 was moved out to a pin control driver.
- Convert MEVEBU to use regmap for register access.
- Drop Vulcan support from the Broadcom driver.
- Serious cleanup and improvement of the mockup driver, giving us a
  better test coverage.

Misc:
- Lots of janitorial clean up.
- A bunch of documentation fixes.

DeviceTree for 4.13:

- vsprintf format specifier %pOF for device_node's. This will enable us
  to stop storing the full node names. Conversion of users will happen
  next cycle.

- Update documentation to point to DT specification instead of ePAPR.

- Split out graph and property functions to a separate file.

- New of-graph functions for ALSA

- Add vendor prefixes for RISC-V, Linksys, iWave Systems, Roofull,
  Itead, and BananaPi.

- Improve dtx_diff utility filename printing.

This is the 4.11.9 stable release

This is the 4.9.36 stable release

This is the 4.4.76 stable release

media updates for v4.13-rc1

This is the 3.18.60 stable release

sound updates for 4.13-rc1

This development cycle resulted in a fair amount of changes in both
core and driver sides.  The most significant change in ALSA core is
about PCM.  Also the support of of-graph card and the new DAPM widget
for DSP are noteworthy changes in ASoC core.  And there're lots of
small changes splat over the tree, as you can see in diffstat.

Below are a few highlights:

ALSA core:
- Removal of set_fs() hackery from PCM core stuff, and the code
  reorganization / optimization thereafter
- Improved support of PCM ack ops, and a new ABI for improved
  control/status mmap handling
- Lots of constifications in various codes

ASoC core:
- The support of of-graph card, which may work as a better generic
  device for a replacement of simple-card
- New widget types intended mainly for use with DSPs

ASoC drivers:
- New drivers for Allwinner V3s SoCs
- Ensonic ES8316 codec support
- More Intel SKL and KBL works
- More device support for Intel SST Atom (mostly for cheap tablets and
  2-in-1 devices)
- Support for Rockchip PDM controllers
- Support for STM32 I2S and S/PDIF controllers
- Support for ZTE AUD96P22 codecs

HD-audio:
- Support of new Realtek codecs (ALC215/ALC285/ALC289), more quirks
  for HP and Dell machines
- A few more fixes for i915 component binding

Note that of-graph change may bring the conflicts with a later pull
request of devicetree, as currently found in linux-next.

regulator: Updates for v4.13

A quiet release for the regulator API, a series of fairly small fixes
plus one new feature and a few new drivers:

 - Support for regulators with different settling times for rising and
   falling voltage changes.
 - New drivers for Allwinner AXP803, HiSilicon HI6421V530 and TI
   LP87565.

ASoC: Updates for v4.13

The big news with this release is the of-graph card, this provides a
replacement for simple-card that is much more flexibile and scalable,
allowing many more systems to use a generic sound card than was possible
before:

 - The of-graph card, finally merged after a long and dedicated effort
   by Morimoto-san.
 - New widget types intended mainly for use with DSPs.
 - New drivers for Allwinner V3s SoCs, Ensonic ES8316, several classes
   of x86 machine, Rockchip PDM controllers, STM32 I2S and S/PDIF
   controllers and ZTE AUD96P22 CODECs.

First pile for 4.14:

- cnl fixes (Rodrigo, Manasi)
- per-engine reset support aka TDR (Michel Thierry)
- dynamic DPCD backlight support (Puthikorn Voravootivat)
- prep for huge gpu pages (Matthew Auld)
- make contexts less BKL dependent (Chris)
- bunch of execlist/gem corner-cases fixes and locking down
  self-checks (Chris)
- fix waitboost accounting when using fence waits (Chris)
- clean up PCH detection/handling (Ville)
- usual pile of small fixes and cleanups

Linux 4.12

This is the 3.16.45 stable release

This is the 3.2.90 stable release

Last minute fixes for GPIO:

- Fix another ACPI problem with broken BIOSes.

- Filter out the GPIO right events, making a very user-visible bug
  go away.

IOMMU Fixes for Linux 4.12-rc7

	Two fixes:

		* A fix for AMD IOMMU interrupt remapping code when
		  IRQs are forwarded directly to KVM guests

		* Fixed check in the recently merged code to allow
		  tboot with Intel VT-d disabled
