wireless-drivers fixes for 4.9

* some fixes for suspend/resume with unified FW images
* a fix for a false-positive lockdep report
* a fix for multi-queue that caused an unnecessary 1 second latency
* a fix for an ACPI parsing bug that caused a misleading error message

brcmfmac

driver core fixes for 4.9-rc3

Here are two small driver core / kernfs fixes for 4.9-rc3.  One makes
the Kconfig entry for DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE a bit more explicit that
this is a crazy thing to enable for a distro kernel (thanks for trying
Fedora!), the other resolves an issue with vim opening kernfs files
(sysfs, configfs, etc.).

Both have been in linux-next with no reported issues.

ACPI fixes for v4.9-rc3

Specifics:

 - Fix three ACPICA issues related to the interpreter locking and
   introduced by recent changes in that area (Lv Zheng).

 - Fix a PCI IRQ management regression introduced during the 4.7
   cycle and related to the configuration of shared IRQs on systems
   with an ISA bus (Sinan Kaya).

 - Fix up a return value of one function in the APEI code (Punit
   Agrawal).

Power management fixes for v4.9-rc3

Specifics:

 - Fix a missing KERN_CONT in a system suspend message by converting
   the affected code to using pr_info() and pr_cont() instead of the
   "raw" printk() (Jon Hunter).

 - Make intel_pstate set the CPU P-state from its .set_policy()
   callback when the scaling_governor sysfs attribute is set to
   "performance" so that it interacts with NOHZ_FULL more
   predictably which was the case before 4.7 (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Make intel_pstate always request the maximum allowed P-state when
   the scaling_governor sysfs attribute is set to "performance" to
   prevent it from effectively ingoring that setting is some
   situations (Rafael Wysocki).

Among various cleanups and improvements, we have the following:
 * client FILS authentication support in mac80211 (Jouni)
 * AP/VLAN multicast improvements (Michael Braun)
 * config/advertising support for differing beacon intervals on
   multiple virtual interfaces (Purushottam Kushwaha, myself)
 * deprecate the old WDS mode for cfg80211-based drivers, the
   mode is hardly usable since it doesn't support any "modern"
   features like WPA encryption (2003), HT (2009) or VHT (2014),
   I'm not even sure WEP (introduced in 1997) could be done.

sound fixes for 4.9-rc3

Here contains the usual stuff -- the fixups and quirks for HD-audio
and USB-audio, in addition to a bad regression fix in ALSA sequencer
timer since 4.8, and a trivial fix for asihpi PCI driver.

This is the 4.4.28 stable release

This is the 4.8.5 stable release

Just two fixes:
 * a fix to process all events while suspending, so any
   potential calls into the driver are done before it is
   suspended
 * small markup fixes for the sphinx documentation conversion
   that's coming into the tree via the doc tree

This is the 3.4.113 stable release

patches to fix a regression in 4.9-rc1 on x86 PAT

Here is a set of GPIO fixes for the v4.9 kernel series:

- Fix up off-by one and line offset validation, info leak to
  userspace, and reject invalid flags. Those are especially
  valuable hardening patches from Lars-Peter Clausen, all tagged
  for stable.

- Fix module autoload for TS4800 and ATH79.

- Correct the IRQ handler for MPC8xxx to use handle_level_irq()
  as it (A) reacts to edges not levels and (B) even implements
  .irq_ack(). We were missing IRQs here.

- Fix the error path for acpi_dev_gpio_irq_get()

- Fix a memory leak in the MXS driver.

- Fix an annoying typo in the STMPE driver.

- Put a dependency on sysfs to the mockup driver.

- first slice of the gvt device model (Zhenyu et al)
- compression support for gpu error states (Chris)
- sunset clause on gpu errors resulting in dmesg noise telling users
  how to report them
- .rodata diet from Tvrtko
- switch over lots of macros to only take dev_priv (Tvrtko)
- underrun suppression for dp link training (Ville)
- lspcon (hmdi 2.0 on skl/bxt) support from Shashank Sharma, polish
  from Jani
- gen9 wm fixes from Paulo&Lyude
- updated ddi programming for kbl (Rodrigo)
- respect alternate aux/ddc pins (from vbt) for all ddi ports (Ville)
