main drm pull request for 4.12 kernel

sound updates for 4.12-rc1

It was a relatively calm development cycle, and no scaring changes are
seen in both core and driver sides.  Here are some highlights:

ASoC:
- A new API for hooking up jacks more generically and easily
- Card longname is set based on DMI for a unique UCM profile
- Lots of Intel driver fixes: Atom, Broxton, Skylake and newer chips
- New drivers for Cirrus CS35L35, DIO DIO2125, Everest ES7132,
  HiSilicon hi6210, Maxim MAX98927, MT2701 systems with WM8960, Nuvoton
  NAU8824, Odroid systems, ST STM32 SAI controllers and x86 systems with
  DA7213

HD-audio:
- Many new quirks to support headset for various devices (mostly ASUS
  ones) as usual
- Support for dual codecs on some Gigabyte mobos and Lenovo laptop
- Improvement on PCM position reporting for Skylake and newer

FireWire:
- New drivers for MOTU and RME Fireface series
- Updates for Digidesign Digi00x and TASCAM series
- Support for tracepoints

Others:
- USB-audio: improved support for quirk_alias option
- Cleanups, constification allover the places

Somehow not much these 2 weeks ...

- (hopefully) stability fixes for byt/bsw gt wake (Chris)
- tighten up requests (especially restarts) checks and debug tracking
  (Chris)
- unify context handling more for gen5+ (Chris+Joonas)
- oddball bugfixes as usual

ASoC: Updates for v4.12

A quiet release for the core, but lots of new drivers this time around:

 - A new, generalized, API for hooking up jacks which makes it easier to
   write generic machine drivers for simple cases.
 - Continuing fixes for issues with the x86 CPU drivers.
 - New drivers for Cirrus CS35L35, DIO DIO2125, Everest ES7132,
   HiSilicon hi6210, Maxim MAX98927, MT2701 systems with WM8960, Nuvoton
   NAU8824, Odroid systems, ST STM32 SAI controllers and x86 systems with
   DA7213

Generic device properties framework updates for v4.12-rc1

 - Extend the ACPI _DSD properties code and the generic device
   properties framework to support the concept of remote endponts
   (Mika Westerberg, Sakari Ailus).

 - Document the support for ports and endpoints in _DSD properties
   and extend the generic device properties framework to make it
   more suitable for the handling of ports and endpoints (Sakari
   Ailus).

ACPI updates for v4.12-rc1

 - Update the core device enumeration code to make it more internally
   consistent and robust and drop the force_remove sysfs attribute
   that could be used to tell it to ignore errors on device
   hot-removal which was dangerous in general and no real and
   still relevant use cases for it could be found (Rafael Wysocki,
   Michal Hocko).

 - Make the core device enumeration code use _PXM to associate
   platform devices created by it with specific NUMA nodes (Shanker
   Donthineni).

 - Extend the CPPC library by adding more sysfs entries for
   performance capabilities to it and making it use the lowest
   nonlinear performance parameter (Prashanth Prakash).

 - Make the CPU online more consistent with CPU initialization in
   the ACPI processor driver (Prashanth Prakash).

 - Update the AC and battery drivers to help them avoid attaching to
   devices that cannot be handled by them and update the axp288_charger
   power supply driver to work correctly on ACPI systems without the
   INT3496 device (Hans de Goede).

 - Add an ACPI operation region driver for the Intel CHT Whiskey Cove
   PMIC and update the xpower operation region driver to work without
   IIO which isn't really necessary for it to work (Hans de Goede).

 - Add a new entry for Dell Inspiron 7537 to the _REV quirk blacklist
   (Kai Heng Feng).

 - Make the code in the ACPI video driver easier to follow by adding
   symbols and comments to it (Dmitry Frank).

 - Update ACPI documentation and drop a function that has no users
   from the tables-handling code (Cao jin, Baoquan He).

Power management updates for v4.12-rc1

 - Rework the intel_pstate driver's sysfs interface to make it
   more straightforward and more intuitive (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Make intel_pstate support all processors which advertise HWP
   (hardware-managed P-states) to the kernel in all operation modes
   and make it use the load-based P-state selection algorithm on a
   wider range of systems in the active mode (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Add cpufreq driver for Tegra186 (Mikko Perttunen).

 - Add support for Gemini Lake SoCs to intel_pstate (David Box).

 - Add support for MT8176 and MT817x to the Mediatek cpufreq driver
   and clean up that driver a bit (Daniel Kurtz).

 - Clean up intel_pstate and optimize it slightly (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Update the schedutil cpufreq governor, mostly to fix a couple of
   issues with it related to specific workloads, and rework its sysfs
   tunable and initialization a bit (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar).

 - Fix minor issues in the imx6q, dbx500 and qoriq cpufreq drivers
   (Christophe Jaillet, Irina Tirdea, Leonard Crestez, Viresh Kumar,
   YuanTian Tang).

 - Add file patterns for cpufreq DT bindings to MAINTAINERS (Geert
   Uytterhoeven).

 - Add support for "always on" power domains to the genpd (generic
   power domains) framework and clean up that code somewhat (Ulf
   Hansson, Lina Iyer, Viresh Kumar).

 - Fix minor issues in the powernv cpuidle driver and clean it up
   (Anton Blanchard, Gautham Shenoy).

 - Move the AnalyzeSuspend utility under tools/power/pm-graph/ and
   add an analogous boot-profiling utility called AnalyzeBoot to it
   (Todd Brandt).

 - Add rk3328 support to the rockchip-io AVS (Adaptive Voltage
   Scaling) driver (David Wu).

 - Fix minor issues in the cpuidle core, the intel_pstate_tracer
   utility, the devfreq framework and the PM core documentation
   (Chanwoo Choi, Doug Smythies, Johan Hovold, Marcin Nowakowski).

Linux 4.11

This is the 4.4.65 stable release

This is the 3.18.51 stable release

Another set of patches for -next:
 * API support for concurrent scheduled scan requests
 * API changes for roaming reporting
 * BSS max idle support in mac80211
 * API changes for TX status reporting in mac80211
 * API changes for RX rate reporting in mac80211
 * rewrite monitor logic to prepare for BPF filters
 * bugfix for rare devices without 2.4 GHz support
 * a bugfix for recent DFS changes
 * some further cleanups

The API changes are actually at a nice time, since it's
typically quiet just before the merge window, and trees
can be synchronized easily during it.

* more support for the upcoming A000 series

This is the 4.10.13 stable release

This is the 4.9.25 stable release

sound fixes for 4.11

Since we got a bonus week, let me try to screw a few pending fixes.

A slightly large fix is the locking fix in ASoC STI driver, but it's
pretty board-specific, and the risk is fairly low.

All the rest are small / trivial fixes, mostly marked as stable, for
ALSA sequencer core, ASoC topology, ASoC Intel bytcr and Firewire
drivers.

ASoC: Fixes for v4.11

A few last minute fixes for v4.11, the STI fix is relatively large but
driver specific and has been cooking in -next for a little while now:

 - A fix from Takashi for some suspend/resume related crashes in the
   Intel drivers.
 - A fix from Mousumi Jana for issues with incorrectly created
   enumeration controls generated from topology files which could cause
   problems for userspace.
 - Fixes from Arnaud Pouliquen for some crashes due to races with the
   interrupt handler in the STI driver.

Linux 4.11-rc8

This is the 3.18.50 stable release
