This is the 4.4.51 stable release

sound updates for 4.11-rc1

here is the update of sound bits for 4.11: again at this time, no big
changes in ALSA and ASoC core but only cosmetic changes like
consitifaction.  Meanwhile, quite a lot of developments are seen in
a few driver side.

ALSA Core:
- Clean up, consitification of some ops

HD-audio:
- A slight behavior change of single_cmd option
- Quirks for AmigaOne X1000, Samsung Ativ Book 8, Dell AiO, ALC221 HP,
  and fixes for Lewisburg controller
- Realtek ALC299, ALC1220 codecs

Others:
- USB-audio: Tascam US-16x08 DSP mixer quirk
- Intel HDMI LPE audio support for Baytrail / Cherrytrail; this
  contains some updates in drm/i915 for the new platform binding

ASoC:
- Lots of updates in Intel drivers, mostly for DisplayPort and HDMI
  on Skylake and onwards, as well as more Baytrail / Cherrytrail
  boards support
- Channel mapping support for HDMI
- Support for AllWinner A31 and A33, Everest Semiconductor ES8328,
  Nuvoton NAU8540.

This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.11 cycle

Core changes:

- Augment fwnode_get_named_gpiod() to configure the GPIO pin
  immediately after requesting it like all other APIs do.
  This is a treewide change also updating all users.

- Pass a GPIO label down to gpiod_request() from
  fwnode_get_named_gpiod(). This makes debugfs and the userspace
  ABI correctly reflect the current in-kernel consumer of a pin
  taken using this abstraction. This is a treewide change also
  updating all users.

- Rename devm_get_gpiod_from_child() to
  devm_fwnode_get_gpiod_from_child() to reflect the fact that this
  function is operating on a fwnode object. This is a treewide
  change also updating all users.

- Make it possible to take multiple GPIOs in a single hog of device
  tree hogs.

- The refactorings switching GPIO chips to use the .set_config()
  callback using standard pin control properties and providing
  a backend into the pin control subsystem that were also merged
  into the pin control tree naturally appear here too.

Testing instrumentation:

- A whole slew of cleanups and improvements to the mockup GPIO
  driver. We now have an extended userspace test exercising the
  subsystem, and we can inject interrupts etc from userspace
  to fully test the core GPIO functionality.

New drivers:

- New driver for the Cortina Systems Gemini GPIO controller.

- New driver for the Exar XR17V352/354/358 chips.

- New driver for the ACCES PCI-IDIO-16 PCI GPIO card.

Driver changes:

- RCAR: set the irqchip parent device, add fine-grained runtime
  PM support.

- pca953x: support optional RESET control line on the chip.

- DaVinci: cleanups and simplifications. Add support for multiple
  instances.

- .set_multiple() and naming of lines on more or less all of the
  ISA/PCI GPIO controllers.

- mcp23s08: refactored to use regmap as a first step to further
  rewrites and modernizations.

This is the 3.16.40 stable release

This is the 3.2.85 stable release

DeviceTree updates for 4.11:

- Sync dtc to upstream commit 0931cea3ba20. This picks up overlay
  support in dtc.

- Set dma_ops for reserved memory users.

- Make references to IOMMU consistent in DT bindings.

- Cleanup references to pm_power_off in bindings.

- Move some display bindings that snuck into the old bindings/video/
  path.

- Fix some wrong documentation paths caused from binding restructuring.

- Vendor prefixes for Faraday and Fujitsu.

- Fix an of_node ref counting leak in of_find_node_opts_by_path

- Introduce new graph helper of_graph_get_remote_node() which will be
  used by DRM drivers in 4.12.
