This is the 4.16.16 stable release

This is the 4.17.2 stable release

A handful of fixes:
 * missing RCU grace period enforcement led to drivers freeing
   data structures before; fix from Dedy Lansky.
 * hwsim module init error paths were messed up; fixed it myself
   after a report from Colin King (who had sent a partial patch)
 * kernel-doc tag errors; fix from Luca Coelho
 * initialize the on-stack sinfo data structure when getting
   station information; fix from Sven Eckelmann
 * TXQ state dumping is now done from init, and when TXQs aren't
   initialized yet at that point, bad things happen, move the
   initialization; fix from Toke Høiland-Jørgensen.

Single fix for v4.18:
- Fix possible race conditions while unplugging DRM device.

sound fixes for 4.18-rc1

Here is a collection of small fixes on top of the previous update.
All small and obvious fixes.  Mostly for usual suspects, USB-audio and
HD-audio, but a few trivial error handling fixes for misc drivers as
well.

This is the 4.9.108 stable release

This is the 4.4.137 stable release

This is the 3.18.113 stable release

Additional ACPI updates for 4.18-rc1

 - Update the ACPICA code in the kernel to upstream revision
   20180531 including:
   * AML parser fix to continue loading tables after detecting an AML
     error (Erik Schmauss).
   * AML parser debug option to dump parse trees (Bob Moore).
   * Debugger updates (Bob Moore).
   * Initial bits of Unload () operator deprecation (Bob Moore).
   * Updates related to the IORT table (Robin Murphy).

 - Make Linux respond to the "Windows 2017.2" _OSI string which
   allows native Thunderbolt enumeration to be used on Dell systems
   and was unsafe before recent changes in the PCI subsystem (Mario
   Limonciello).

 - Update the ACPI method customization feature documentation (Erik
   Schmauss).

Additional power management updates for 4.18-rc1

 - Revert a recent PM core change that attempted to fix an issue
   related to device links, but introduced a regression (Rafael
   Wysocki).

 - Fix build when the recently added cpufreq driver for Kryo
   processors is selected by making it possible to build that
   driver as a module (Arnd Bergmann).

 - Fix the long idle detection mechanism in the out-of-band
   (ondemand and conservative) cpufreq governors (Chen Yu).

 - Add support for devices in multiple power domains to the
   generic power domains (genpd) framework (Ulf Hansson).

 - Add support for iowait boosting on systems with hardware-managed
   P-states (HWP) enabled to the intel_pstate driver and make it use
   that feature on systems with Skylake Xeon processors as it is
   reported to improve performance significantly on those systems
   (Srinivas Pandruvada).

 - Fix and update the acpi_cpufreq, ti-cpufreq and imx6q cpufreq
   drivers (Colin Ian King, Suman Anna, Sébastien Szymanski).

 - Change the behavior of the wakeup_count device attribute in
   sysfs to expose the number of events when the device might have
   aborted system suspend in progress (Ravi Chandra Sadineni).

 - Fix two minor issues in the cpupower utility (Abhishek Goel,
   Colin Ian King).

Only a small qxl fix that was queued for v4.17.

regulator: Updates for v4.18

Quite a lot of core work this time around, though not 100% successful.

We gained support for runtime mode changes thanks to David Collins and
improved support for write only regulators (ones where we can't read
back the configuration) from Douglas Anderson.

There's been quite a bit of work from Linus Walleij on converting from
specfying GPIOs by numbers to descriptors.  Sadly the testing turned out
to be less good than we had hoped and so a lot of this had to be
reverted.

We also have the start of updates to use coupled regulators from Maciej
Purski, unfortunately there are further problems there so the last
couple of patches have been reverted.

We also have new drivers for BD71837 and SY8106A devices, SAW regulators
on Qualcomm SPMI and dropped support for some preproduction chips
that never made it to market from the AB8500 driver.

First batch of i915 fixes for v4.18:
- gvt fixes that missed v4.17, potentially need to be backported
- eDP resolution regression revert
- remove broken nv12 special casing
- remove stale asserts from find active requests

This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.18 development
cycle.

Core changes:

- We have killed off VLA from the core library and all drivers.
  The background should be clear for everyone at this point:
  https://lwn.net/Articles/749064/
  Also I just don't like VLA's, kernel developers hate it when
  compilers do things behind their back. It's as simple as that.
  I'm sorry that they even slipped in to begin with.
  Kudos to Laura Abbott for exorcising them.

- Support GPIO hogs in machines/board files.

New drivers and chip support:

- R-Car r8a77470 (RZ/G1C)
- R-Car r8a77965 (M3-N)
- R-Car r8a77990 (E3)
- PCA953x driver improvements to accomodate more variants.

Improvements and new features:

- Support one interrupt per line on port A in the DesignWare
  dwapb driver.

- Random cleanups, right header files in the drivers, some
  size optimizations etc.
