The majority of the changes are driver updates and new device
support. The core framework is mostly unchanged this time
around, with only a couple patches to expose a clk provider
API and make getting clk parent names from DT more robust.

Driver updates:

- Support for clock controllers found on Broadcom Northstar
  SoCs and bcm2835 SoC

- Support for Allwinner audio clocks

- A few cleanup patches for Tegra drivers and support for the
  highest DFLL frequencies on Tegra124

- Samsung exynos7 fixes and improvements

- i.Mx SoC updates to add a few missing clocks and keep debug
  uart clocks on during kernel intialization

- Some mediatek cleanups and support for more subsystem clocks

- Support for msm8916 gpu/audio clocks and qcom's GDSC power domain
  controllers

- A new driver for the Silabs si514 clock chip

regulator: Updates for v4.4

This is quite a quiet release in terms of volume of patches but it
includes a couple of really nice core changes - the work Sascha has done
in particular is something I've wanted to get done for a long time but
just never got round to myself.  Highlights include:

 - Support from Sascha Hauer for setting the voltage of parent supplies
   based on requests from their children.  This is used both to allow
   set_voltage() to work through a dumb switch and to improve the
   efficiency of systems where DCDCs are used to supply LDOs by minimising
   the voltage drop over the LDOs.
 - Removal of regulator_list by Tomeu Vizoso, meaning we're not
   duplicating the device list maintained by the driver core.
 - Support for Wolfson/Cirrus WM8998 and WM1818.

Another set of fixes:
 * remove a warning on a check that can trigger without any
   errors having happened (Andrei)
 * correctly handle deauth request while in the process of
   associating (Andrei)
 * fix TDLS HT operation (Arik)
 * allow changing AID/listen interval during client setup (Ayala)
 * be more forgiving with WMM parameters to get HT/VHT in case of
   broken APs with bad WMM settings (Emmanuel, myself)
 * a number of other fixes (some in documentation)

media updates for v4.4-rc1

This is the bulk of GPIO changes for v4.4:

GPIO core:
- Define and handle flags for open drain/open collector
  and open source/open emitter, also know as "single-ended"
  configurations.
- Generic request/free operations that handle calling out
  to the (optional) pin control backend.
- Some refactoring related to an ABI change that did not
  happen, yet provide useful.
- Added a real-time compliance checklist. Many GPIO chips
  have irqchips, and need to think this over with the RT
  patches going upstream.
- Restructure, fix and clean up Kconfig menus a bit.

New drivers:
- New driver for AMD Promony.
- New driver for ACCES 104-IDIO-16, a port-mapped I/O
  card, ISA-style. Very retro.

Subdriver changes:
- OMAP changes to handle real time requirements.
- Handle trigger types for edge and level IRQs on PL061
  properly. As this hardware is very common it needs to
  set a proper example for others to follow.
- Some container_of() cleanups.
- Delete the unused MSM driver in favor of the driver that
  is embedded inside the pin control driver.
- Cleanup of the ath79 GPIO driver used by many, many
  OpenWRT router targets.
- A consolidated IT87xx driver replacing the earlier
  very specific IT8761e driver.
- Handle the TI TCA9539 in the PCA953x driver. Also
  handle ACPI devices in this subdriver.
- Drop xilinx arch dependencies as these FPGAs seem to
  profilate over a few different architectures. MIPS and
  ARM come to mind.

IOMMU Fixes for Linux v4.3-rc7

Two late fixes for the AMD IOMMU driver:

	* One adds an additional check to the io page-fault handler to
	  avoid a BUG_ON being hit in handle_mm_fault()

	* Second patch fixes a problem with devices writing to the
	  system management area and were blocked by the IOMMU because
	  the driver wrongly cleared out the DTE flags allowing that
	  access.

ASoC: Updates for v4.4

Not much core work here, a few small tweaks to interfaces but mainly the
changes here are driver ones.  Highlights include:

 - Updates to the topology userspace interface
 - Big updates to the Renesas support from Morimoto-san
 - Most of the support for Intel Sky Lake systems.
 - New drivers for Asahi Kasei Microdevices AK4613, Allwinnner A10,
   Cirrus Logic WM8998, Dialog DA7219, Nuvoton NAU8825 and Rockchip
   S/PDIF.

Linux 4.3-rc7

Allwinner DT changes for 4.4, round 3

A bunch of new boards, but mostly enable the support for the Audio Codec
on the older SoCs (A10, A10s, A13, A20, R8) and enable it on various
boards.

- 2nd attempt at atomic watermarks from Matt, but just prep for now
- fixes all over

sound fixes for 4.3-rc7

There is nothing to worry you much, only a few small & stable patches
are found for usual stuff, HD-audio (a Lenovo laptop quirk, a fix for
minor error handling) and ASoC (trivial fixes for RT298 and WM
codecs).  The only remaining major change is the fix for ASoC SX_TLV
control that was overseen during refactoring, but the fix itself is
trivial and safe.
