sound fixes for 4.9-rc1

Just a few trivial small fixes.

More ACPI updates for v4.9-rc1

 - Fix an unused function warning that started to appear after recent
   changes in the ACPI EC driver (Eric Biggers).

 - Fix the KERN_CONT usage in acpi_os_vprintf() that has become
   (particularly) annoying recently (Joe Perches).

 - Fix the fan status checking in the ACPI fan driver to avoid
   returning incorrect error codes sometimes (Srinivas Pandruvada).

 - Fix the ACPI Processor Aggregator driver (PAD) to always let the
   special processor_aggregator driver from Xen take over when
   running as Xen dom0 (Juergen Gross).

 - Update the handling of reference device properties in ACPI by
   allowing empty rows ("holes") to appear in reference property
   lists (Mika Westerberg).

 - Add a new MAINTAINERS entry for ACPI on ARM64 (Lorenzo Pieralisi).

More power management updates for v4.9-rc1

 - Fix two cpufreq regressions causing undesirable changes in
   behavior to appear (one in the core and one in the conservative
   governor) introduced during the 4.8 cycle (Aaro Koskinen, Rafael
   Wysocki).

 - Fix the way the intel_pstate driver accesses MSRs related to the
   hardware-managed P-states (HWP) feature during the initialization
   which currently is unsafe and may cause the processor to generate
   a general protection fault (Srinivas Pandruvada).

 - Rework the intel_pstate's P-state selection algorithm used on Atom
   processors to avoid known problems with the current one and to
   make the computation more straightforward, which also happens to
   improve performance in multiple benchmarks a bit (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Improve two comments in the intel_pstate driver (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Fix the desired performance computation in the CPPC cpufreq driver
   (Hoan Tran).

 - Fix the devfreq core to avoid printing misleading error messages
   in some cases (Tobias Jakobi).

 - Fix the error code path in devfreq_add_device() to use proper
   locking around list modifications (Axel Lin).

 - Fix a build failure and remove a couple of redundant updates of
   variables in the exynos-nocp devfreq driver (Axel Lin).

wireless-drivers fixes for 4.9

media updates for v4.9-rc1

IOMMU Updates for Linux v4.9

Including:

	* Support for interrupt virtualization in the AMD IOMMU driver.
	  These patches were shared with the KVM tree and are already
	  merged through that tree.

	* Generic DT-binding support for the ARM-SMMU driver. With this
	  the driver now makes use of the generic DMA-API code. This
	  also required some changes outside of the IOMMU code, but
	  these are acked by the respective maintainers.

	* More cleanups and fixes all over the place.

- dsi/backlight fixes (Jani&Shawn)
- a few reset improvements (Ben, Chris, Imre)
- refactor port tracking for audio support (Dhinakaran)
- a pile of gen9 wm fixes from Paulo
- drop skl pre-production w/a (Jani)
- refactor forcewake and shadow reg filters into tables, and unify the
  funcs/macros using them across platforms (Tvrtko)
- fix DP detection to not require an edid (Ville)
- register shadow VGA port (for testing), from Ville
