ASoC: Updates for v4.10

There's been a few bits of framework work this time around and quite a
lot of cleanups and improvements to existing code:

 - Support for stereo DAPM controls from Chen-yu Tsai.
 - Some initial work on the of-graph sound card from Morimoto-san, the
   main bulk of this is currently in binding review.
 - Lots of Renesas cleanups from Morimoto-san and sunxi work from
   Chen-yu Tsai.
 - regmap conversions of the remaining AC'97 drivers from Lars-Peter
   Clausen.
 - A new version of the topology ABI from Mengdong Lin.
 - New drivers for Cirrus Logic CS42L42, Qualcomm MSM8916-WCD, and Realtek
   RT5665.

regulator: Updates for v4.10

A quiet release for the regulator API, conference season must've been
slowing everyone down:

 - A new interface allowing drivers to provide an interface for reading
   a more detailed description of error conditions which allows devices
   using these regulators to build
 - ACPI support for the fixed voltage regulator.
 - Cleanups for the TI TWL drivers to reduce code duplication.

Bulk GPIO changes for the v4.10 kernel cycle:

Core changes:

- Simplify threaded interrupt handling: instead of passing
  numbed parameters to gpiochip_irqchip_add_chained() we
  create a new call: gpiochip_irqchip_add_nested() so the two
  types are clearly semantically different. Also make sure
  that all nested chips call gpiochip_set_nested_irqchip()
  which is necessary for IRQ resend to work properly if
  it happens.

- Return error on seek operations for the chardev.

- Clamp values set as part of gpio[d]_direction_output() so
  that anything != 0 will be send down to the driver as "1"
  not the value passed in.

- ACPI can now support naming of GPIO lines, hogs and holes
  in the GPIO lists.

New drivers:

- The SX150x driver was deemed unfit for the GPIO subsystem
  and was moved over to a combined GPIO+pinctrl driver in the
  pinctrl subsystem.

New features:

- Various cleanups to various drivers.
