Just a few minor fixes. Important one is the execbuf async fix (aka
ANDROID_native_sync). There was another patch for a display coherency
corner case on APL, but we've random-walked in that space too much,
and the cherry-pick looked really invasive.

This is the 4.4.74 stable release

This is the 3.18.58 stable release

Linux 4.12-rc7

wireless-drivers-next patches for 4.13

New features and bug fixes to quite a few different drivers, but
nothing really special standing out.

What makes me happy that we have now more vendors actively
contributing to upstream drivers. In this pull request we have patches
from Broadcom, Intel, Qualcomm, Realtek and Redpine Signals, and I
still have patches from Marvell and Quantenna pending in patchwork. Now
that's something comparing to how things looked 11 years ago in Jeff
Garzik's "State of the Union: Wireless" email:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/5/671

Major changes:

wil6210

* add low level RF sector interface via nl80211 vendor commands

* add module parameter ftm_mode to load separate firmware for factory
  testing

* support devices with different PCIe bar size

* add support for PCIe D3hot in system suspend

* remove ioctl interface which should not be in a wireless driver

ath10k

* go back to using dma_alloc_coherent() for firmware scratch memory

* add per chain RSSI reporting

brcmfmac

* add support multi-scheduled scan

* add scheduled scan support for specified BSSIDs

* add support for brcm43430 revision 0

wlcore

* add wil1285 compatible

rsi

* add RS9113 USB support

iwlwifi

* FW API documentation improvements (for tools and htmldoc)

* continuing work for the new A000 family

* bump the maximum supported FW API to 31

* improve the differentiation between 8000, 9000 and A000 families

This is the 4.9.34 stable release

This is the 4.11.7 stable release

ACPI fix for v4.12-rc7

 - I2C and SPI devices are expected to be enumerated by the
   I2C and SPI subsystems, respectively, but due to a change made
   during the 4.11 cycle, in some cases the ACPI core marks them
   as already enumerated which causes the I2C and SPI subsystems
   to overlook them, so fix that (Jarkko Nikula).

A single GPIO patch fixing the compatible string for the
MVEBU PWM controller embedded in the GPIO controller before
we release v4.12. Hopefully.

sound fixes for 4.12-rc7

Nothing exciting here, just a few stable fixes:
- Suppress spurious kernel WARNING in PCM core
- Fix potential spin deadlock at error handling in firewire
- HD-audio PCI ID addition / fixup

wireless-drivers fixes for 4.12

Two important fixes for brcmfmac. The rest of the brcmfmac patches are
either code preparation and fixing a new build warning.

brcmfmac

* fix a NULL pointer dereference during resume

* fix a NULL pointer dereference with USB devices, a regression from
  v4.12-rc1

Second set of IIO new device support, features and cleanups for the 4.13 cycle.

A few reverts here. One was a general failure to notice a device was already
supported by another driver.  The second is due to a review comment pointing
out that the original patch was a bad idea and would break existing systems.

Reverts
* bma180
  - Revert addition of support for the BMA250E it is already supported by
    the bmc150-accel and better supported at that. Oops.
* hi8435
  - The fix for cleanup of the reset gpio stuff isn't a good way to go.  It
    breaks systems where an inverting level convertor is used.  The right fix
    is to make the original devicetree correct - even if it involves patching
    the devicetree in kernel.

New Device Support
* stm32-adc
  - STM32H7 support and bindings.

Features
* core
  - add a hardware triggered operating mode for systems in which the actual
    trigger is never seen by the kernel.  This is typically only used when
    a device 'can' use other triggers, but if a particular magic one is
    enabled the interrupt is effectively handled in hardware and we never see
    it.
* st-lsm6dsx
  - support active low interrupts.
* stm32-adc
  - Make the core adc clock optional as not all hardware supported requires it.
  - Make the bus clock optional in the per instance driver as it may be shared
    by all instances of the ADC and is handled by the core.
  - Rework to have a data structure representing the device type specific
    elements.
* stm32-trigger (and counter)
  - Use the INDIO_HARDWARE_TRIGGERED_MODE where appropriate.
  - Add an attribute to configure device modes for quadrature counting etc.

Clean ups and minor fixes
* IIO core.
  - use __sysfs_match_string() helper rather than open coding the same.
* ad7791
  - use sysfs_match_string() helper rather than open coding the same.
* aspeed-adc
  - handle return value of clk_prepare_enable
* cpcap
  - Fix default register values and ensure the battery thermistor is enabled
    correctly.
  - Fix the reported die temperature where we can - docs are lacking.
  - Remove the hung interrupt quirk as no longer happens due to fix in the
    mfd driver.
* hi8435
  - Remove &s from hi8435_info definition as unneeded and inconsistent.
* hid-sensor-trgger
  - Add kconfig depends on IIO_BUFFER (fixes patch in previous series)
* ina2xx
  - Make the use of iio_info_mask* elements consistent for all channels.
    This doesn't have any visible effect, but acts as clear documentation of
    which channels various resulting attributes apply to.
* lpc32xx
  - handle the return value of clk_prepare_enable.
* meson-saradc
  - NULL instead of 0 for pointer.
* mma9551
  - use NULL for GPIO connection ID to aid implementation fo ACPI support.
    Here the connection ID doesn't actually tell us anything and it is much
    easier to deal with the driver if it's not there.
* mpu6050
  - Fix lock issues through use of a local mux.
  - Replace sprintf with scnprintf as appropriate.
  - Check whoami against all known values.  This allows for a small number of
    boards where we are really fishing for the part not being present at all.
    It is unfortunately common to have undescribed changes to use newer chips.
    We paper over this but just emitting a warning for those cases as long as
    we know about.
* mxs-lradc
  - Fix some non static warnings.
* rcar-adc
  - Part of making the naming for this part consistent across the kernel.
* st_accel
  - drop some spi_device_id entries for variants with no SPI support
* st_magn
  - drop some spi_device_id entries for variants with no SPI support.
* sx9500
  - Use devm_gpiod_get instead of indexed value with an index of 0 on all
    occasions.
* twl4030
  - Drop unused twl4030_get_madc_conversion as callers removed now throughout
    kernel.
  - Unexport twl4030_madc_conversion() as no used only within this driver.
  - Drop twl4030_madc_user_params as not used now.
  - Drop twl4030_madc_request.func_cb as not used now.
  - Fold the twl4030-madc.h header into the driver as no longer used anywhere
    else in the kernel.
* xilinx
  - Handle the return value of clk_prepare_enable

Linux 4.12-rc6

Final pile of features for 4.13

New uabi:
- batch bo in first slot, for faster execbuf assembly in userspace
  (Chris Wilson)
- (sub)slice getparam, needed for mesa perf support (Robert Bragg)

First pile of patches for cnl/cfl support, maintained by Rodrigo but
with lots of contributions from others. Still incomplete since public
review still ongoing.

Features/refactoring:
- Make execbuf faster (Chris Wilson), a pile of series to make execbuf
  buffer handling have fewer passes, use less list walking, postpone
  more work to async workers and shuffle buffers less, all to make the
  common case much faster (in some cases at least).
- cold boot support for glk dsi (Madhav Chauhan)
- Clean up pipe A quirk and related old platform hacks (Ville)
- perf sampling support for kbl/glk (Lionel)
- perf cleanups (Robert Bragg)
- wire atomic state to backlight code, to avoid pipe lookup hacks
  (Maarten)
- reduce request waiting latency/overhead to remove the spinning and
  associated cpu cycle wasting (Chris)
- fix 90/270 rotation wm computation (Ville)
- new ddb allocation algo for skl (Kumar Mahesh)
- fix regression due to system suspend optimiazatino (Imre)
- the usual pile of small cleanups and refactors all over

GVT updates contained in this tag:
- optimization for per-VM mmio save/restore (Changbin)
- optimization for mmio hash table (Changbin)
- scheduler optimization with event (Ping)
- vGPU reset refinement (Fred)
- other misc refactor and cleanups, etc.
