Fixes for 4.16. I contains fixes for deadlock on runtime suspend on few
drivers, a memory leak on non-blocking commits, a crash on color-eviction.
The is also meson and edid fixes, plus a fix for a doc warning.

Driver Changes:

- Lift alpha_support protection from Cannonlake (Rodrigo)
	* Meaning the driver should mostly work for the hardware we had
	  at our disposal when testing
	* Used to be preliminary_hw_support
- Add missing Cannonlake PCI device ID of 0x5A4C (Rodrigo)
- Cannonlake port register fix (Mahesh)

- Fix Dell Venue 8 Pro black screen after modeset (Hans)
- Fix for always returning zero out-fence from execbuf (Daniele)
- Fix HDMI audio when no no relevant video output is active (Jani)
- Fix memleak of VBT data on driver_unload (Hans)

- Fix for KASAN found locking issue (Maarten)
- RCU barrier consolidation to improve igt/gem_sync/idle (Chris)
- Optimizations to IRQ handlers (Chris)
- vblank tracking improvements (64-bit resolution, PM) (Dhinakaran)
- Pipe select bit corrections (Ville)
- Reduce runtime computed device_info fields (Chris)
- Tune down some WARN_ONs to GEM_BUG_ON now that CI has good coverage (Chris)
- A bunch of kerneldoc warning fixes (Chris)

First round of new devices, features and cleanups for IIO in the 4.17 cycle.

Outside of IIO
* Strongly typed 64bit int_sqrt function needed by the mlx90632

New device support
* adc081s
  - New driver supporting adc081s, adc101s and adc121s TI ADCs.
* ad5272
  - New driver supproting the ad5272 and ad5274 ADI digital potentiometers
    with DT bindings.
* axp20x_adc
  - support the AXP813 ADC - includes rework patches to prepare for this.
* mlx90632
  - New driver with dt bindings for this IR temperature sensor.

Features
* axp20x_adc
  - Add DT bindings and probing.
* dht11
  - The sensor has a wider range than advertised in the datasheet - support it.
* st_lsm6dsx
  - Add hardware timestamp su9pport.

Cleanups
* ABI docs
  - Update email contact for Matt Ranostay
* SPDX changes
  - Matt Ranostay has moved his drivers over to SPDX.  Currently we are making
    this an author choice in IIO.
* ad7192
  - Disable burnout current on misconfiguration.  No actually effect as
    they simply won't work otherwise.
* ad7476
  - Drop a license definition that was replicating information in SPDX tag.
* ade7758
  - Expand buf_lock to cover both buffer and state protection allowing
    unintented uses of mlock in the core to be removed.
* ade7759
  - Align parameters to opening parenthesis.
* at91_adc
  - Depend on sysfs instead of selecting it - for try wide consistency.
* ccs811
  - trivial naming type for a define.
* ep93xx
  - Drop a redundant return as a result checking platform_get_resource.
* hts221
  - Regmap conversion which simplifies the driver somewhat.
  - Clean up some restricted endian cast warnings.
  - Drop a trailing whitespace from a comment
  - Drop an unnecessary get_unaligned by changing to the right 16bit data type.
* ms5611
  - Fix coding style in the probe function (whitespace)
* st_accel
  - Use strlcpy instead of strncpy to avoid potentially truncating a string.

First round of IIO fixes for the 4.16 cycle.

One nasty very old crash around polling for buffers that aren't there
- though that can only cause effects on drivers that support events
but not buffers.

* buffer / kfifo handling in the core.
  - Check there is a buffer and return 0 from poll directly if there
    isn't.  Poll doesn't make sense in this circumstances, but best to close
    the hole.
* ad5933
  - Change the marked buffer mode to a software buffer as the meaning of
    the hardware buffer label has long since changed and this uses a front
    end software buffer anyway.
* ad7192
  - Fix the fact the external clock frequency was only set when using the
    internal clock which was less than helpful.
* adis_lib
  - Initialize the trigger before requesting the interrupt.  Some newer
    parts can power up with interrupt generation enabled so ordering now
    matters.
* aspeed-adc
  - Fix an errror handling path as labels and general ordering were wrong.
* srf08
  - Fix a link error due to undefined devm_iio_triggered_buffer_setup.
* stm32-adc
  - Fix error handling unwind squence in stm32h7_adc_enable.

Linux 4.16-rc2

This is the 4.14.20 stable release

This is the 3.18.95 stable release

This is the 4.4.116 stable release

This is the 4.15.4 stable release

sound fixes for 4.16-rc2

A collection of usual suspects:
- A handful USB-audio and HD-audio device-specific quirks
- Some trivial fixes for the new AC97 bus stuff
- Another race fix in ALSA sequencer core

i915 fixes, and single amd and nouveau fix

ACPI updates for v4.16-rc2

 - Revert a problematic EC driver change from the 4.13 cycle that
   introduced a system resume regression on Thinkpad X240 (Rafael
   Wysocki).

 - Clean up device tables handling in the ACPI core and the related
   part of the device properties framework (Andy Shevchenko).

 - Update the sysfs ABI documentatio of the dock and the INT3407
   special device drivers (Aishwarya Pant).

 - Add an expected switch fall-through marker to the SPCR table
   parsing code (Gustavo Silva).

Power management updates for v4.16-rc2

 - Fix a recently introduced build issue related to cpuidle by
   covering all of the relevant combinations of Kconfig options
   in its header (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Add missing invocation of pm_runtime_drop_link() to the
   !CONFIG_SRCU variant of __device_link_del() (Lukas Wunner).

 - Fix unbalanced IRQ enable in the wakeup interrupts framework
   (Tony Lindgren).

 - Update cpuidle sysfs ABI documentation (Aishwarya Pant).

 - Use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC for allocating memory
   in dev_pm_opp_init_cpufreq_table() (Jia-Ju Bai).

There are important fixes for VLV with MIPI/DSI panels,
2 clean-up patches needed for this MIPI/DSI fix,
and many fixes for GEM including fixes for Perf OA and PMU,
and fixes on scheduler and preemption.

This also includes GVT fixes: "This has one to fix GTT mmio 8b
access from guest and two simple ones for mmio switch and typo fix"
