ACPI updates for v4.15-rc1

 - Update the ACPICA code to upstream revision 20170831 including

     functions (Bob Moore).
   * Support for 64-bit hardware accesses (Lv Zheng).
   * ACPI PM Timer code adjustment to deal with 64-bit return values
     of acpi_hw_read() (Bob Moore).
   * Support for deferred table verification in acpiexec (Lv Zheng).

 - Fix APEI to use the fixmap instead of ioremap_page_range() which
   cannot work correctly the way the code in there attempted to use
   it and drop some code that's not necessary any more after that
   change (James Morse).

 - Clean up the APEI support code and make it use 64-bit timestamps
   (Arnd Bergmann, Dongjiu Geng, Jan Beulich).

 - Add operation region driver for TI PMIC TPS68470 (Rajmohan Mani).

 - Add support for PCC subspace IDs to the ACPI CPPC driver (George
   Cherian).

 - Fix an ACPI EC driver regression related to the handling of EC
   events during the "noirq" phases of system suspend/resume (Lv
   Zheng).

 - Delay the initialization of the lid state in the ACPI button
   driver to fix issues appearing on some systems (Hans de Goede).

 - Extend the KIOX000A "device always present" quirk to cover all
   affected BIOS versions (Hans de Goede).

 - Clean up some code in the ACPI core and drivers (Colin Ian King,
   Gustavo Silva).

Power management updates for v4.15-rc1

 - Relocate the OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework to its
   own directory under drivers/ and add support for power domain
   performance states to it (Viresh Kumar).

 - Modify the PM core, the PCI bus type and the ACPI PM domain to
   support power management driver flags allowing device drivers to
   specify their capabilities and preferences regarding the handling
   of devices with enabled runtime PM during system suspend/resume
   and clean up that code somewhat (Rafael Wysocki, Ulf Hansson).

 - Add frequency-invariant accounting support to the task scheduler
   on ARM and ARM64 (Dietmar Eggemann).

 - Fix PM QoS device resume latency framework to prevent "no
   restriction" requests from overriding requests with specific
   requirements and drop the confusing PM_QOS_FLAG_REMOTE_WAKEUP
   device PM QoS flag (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Drop legacy class suspend/resume operations from the PM core
   and drop legacy bus type suspend and resume callbacks from
   ARM/locomo (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Add min/max frequency support to devfreq and clean it up
   somewhat (Chanwoo Choi).

 - Rework wakeup support in the generic power domains (genpd)
   framework and update some of its users accordingly (Geert
   Uytterhoeven).

 - Convert timers in the PM core to use timer_setup() (Kees Cook).

 - Add support for exposing the SLP_S0 (Low Power S0 Idle)
   residency counter based on the LPIT ACPI table on Intel
   platforms (Srinivas Pandruvada).

 - Add per-CPU PM QoS resume latency support to the ladder cpuidle
   governor (Ramesh Thomas).

 - Fix a deadlock between the wakeup notify handler and the
   notifier removal in the ACPI core (Ville Syrjälä).

 - Fix a cpufreq schedutil governor issue causing it to use
   stale cached frequency values sometimes (Viresh Kumar).

 - Fix an issue in the system suspend core support code causing
   wakeup events detection to fail in some cases (Rajat Jain).

 - Fix the generic power domains (genpd) framework to prevent
   the PM core from using the direct-complete optimization with
   it as that is guaranteed to fail (Ulf Hansson).

 - Fix a minor issue in the cpuidle core and clean it up a bit
   (Gaurav Jindal, Nicholas Piggin).

 - Fix and clean up the intel_idle and ARM cpuidle drivers (Jason
   Baron, Len Brown, Leo Yan).

 - Fix a couple of minor issues in the OPP framework and clean it
   up (Arvind Yadav, Fabio Estevam, Sudeep Holla, Tobias Jordan).

 - Fix and clean up some cpufreq drivers and fix a minor issue in
   the cpufreq statistics code (Arvind Yadav, Bhumika Goyal, Fabio
   Estevam, Gautham Shenoy, Gustavo Silva, Marek Szyprowski, Masahiro
   Yamada, Robert Jarzmik, Zumeng Chen).

 - Fix minor issues in the system suspend and hibernation core, in
   power management documentation and in the AVS (Adaptive Voltage
   Scaling) framework (Helge Deller, Himanshu Jha, Joe Perches,
   Rafael Wysocki).

 - Fix some issues in the cpupower utility and document that Shuah
   Khan is going to maintain it going forward (Prarit Bhargava,
   Shuah Khan).

Driver Changes:
- qxl: Use a shadow bo as primary and blit to it to fix flicker (Gerd)
- rockchip: Convert psr spinlock to mutex (Emil)

regulator: Updates for v4.15

A very quiet release for regulator, there's some new device support in
existing drivers here and a few fixes but nothing in the core.

 - New device support for Allwinner AXP813, Dialog DA223/4/5 and
   Qualcomm PMI8994.

ASoC: Updates for v4.15

The biggest thing this release has been the conversion of the AC98 bus
to the driver model, that's been a long time coming so thanks to Robert
Jarzmik for his dedication there.  Due to there being some AC97 MFD
there's a few fairly large changes in input and the MFD layer, mainly to
the wm97xx driver.

There's also some drivers/drm changes to support the new AMD Stoney
platform, these are shared with the DRM subsystem and should be being
merged via both.

Within the subsystem the overwhelming bulk of the changes is in the
Intel drivers which continue to need lots of cleanups and fixes, this
release they've also gained support for their open source firmware.
There's also some large changs in the core as Morimoto-san continues to
mirror operations into the component level in preparation for conversion
of drivers to that.

 - The AC97 bus has finally caught up with the driver model thanks to
   some dedicated and persistent work from Robert Jarzmik.
 - Continued work from Morimoto-san on moving us towards being able to
   use components for everything.
 - Lots of cleanups for the Intel platform code, including support for
   their open source audio firmware.
 - Support for scaling MCLK with sample rate in simple-card.
 - Support for AMD Stoney platform.

Linux 4.14

special standing out, mostly fixes or cleanup and some minor new
features.

Major changes:

iwlwifi

* some new PCI IDs

- Disable lazy PPGTT page table optimization for vGPU (Joonas)
- Preemption with GuC (Michal Winiarsk, Jeff, Michel)
- Other GuC and HuC related fixes and improvements (Michal Winiarsk)

Final power management fixes for v4.14

 - Prevent the schedutil cpufreq governor from using the
   utilization of a wrong CPU in some cases which started to
   happen after one of the recent changes in it (Chris Redpath).

 - Blacklist Dell XPS13 9360 from using the Low Power S0 Idle _DSM
   interface as that causes serious issue (related to NVMe) to
   appear on one of these machines, even though the other Dells
   XPS13 9360 in somewhat different HW configurations behave
   correctly (Rafael Wysocki).

sound fixes for 4.14

The amount of the changes isn't as quite small as wished, nevertheless
they are straight fixes that deserve merging to 4.14 final.

Most of fixes are about ALSA core bugs spotted by fuzzer: a follow-up
fix for the previous nested rwsem patch, a fix to avoid the resource
hogs due to too many concurrent ALSA timer invocations, and a fix for
a crash with SYSEX MIDI transfer over OSS sequencer emulation that is
used by none but fuzzer.

The rest are usual HD-audio and USB-audio device-specific quirks,
which are safe to apply.

- Fix possible NULL dereference (Chris).
- Avoid miss usage of syncobj by rejecting unknown flags (Tvrtko).

4.15 merge window fixes, round 2:

randconfig fix from Arnd, plus the vblank WARN_ON fix from Ville.

This is the 4.13.12 stable release

This is the 4.9.61 stable release
