sound fixes for 4.7-final

No surprise, just a few small fixes: a couple of changes are seen in
the core part, and both of them are rather for unusual error paths.
The rest are the usual HD-audio fixes.

Linux 3.18.37

Linux 4.1.28

wireless-drivers-next patches for 4.8

Major changes:

iwlwifi

* more work on the RX path for the 9000 device series
* some more dynamic queue allocation work
* SAR BIOS implementation
* some work on debugging capabilities
* added support for GCMP encryption
* data path rework in preparation for new HW
* some cleanup to remove transport dependency on mac80211
* support for MSIx in preparation for new HW
* lots of work in preparation for HW support (9000 and a000 series)

mwifiex

* implement get_tx_power and get_antenna cfg80211 operation callbacks

wl18xx

* add support for 64bit clock

rtl8xxxu

* aggregation support (optional for now)

Also wireless-drivers is merged to fix some conflicts.

media fixes for v4.7-rc7

ACPI fixes for v4.7

 - Fix a recent regression in the ACPI EC driver introduced by a fix
   of another problem that uncovered a latent code ordering issue in
   the driver (Lv Zheng).

 - Revert a recent ACPICA commit that attempted to address a lock
   ordering issue introduced by a previous fix, but caused Dell
   Precision 5510 to fail to boot, revert that previous fix too and
   finally revert the commit that caused the original problem (a
   deadlock in the ACPICA code) to happen (Rafael Wysocki).

regulator: Fix qcom-smd list voltage issues for msm8974

This commit looks like a cleanup but in fact by causing the core to go
down some simplified code paths for noop regulators it avoids a boot
time crash for msm8974 platforms which was introduced in v4.7.  It has
been in -next for a while, the issues in mainline for these platforms
weren't flagged up to me until yesterday (I think it took some time to
figure out what was going wrong).

This is the 4.4.15 stable release

This is the 4.6.4 stable release

- select igt testing depencies for CONFIG_DRM_I915_DEBUG (Chris)
- track outputs in crtc state and clean up all our ad-hoc connector/encoder
  walking in modest code (Ville)
- demidlayer drm_device/drm_i915_private (Chris Wilson)
- thundering herd fix from Chris Wilson, with lots of help from Tvrtko Ursulin
- piles of assorted clean and fallout from the thundering herd fix
- documentation and more tuning for waitboosting (Chris)
- pooled EU support on bxt (Arun Siluvery)
- bxt support is no longer considered prelimary!
- ring/engine vfunc cleanup from Tvrtko
- introduce intel_wait_for_register helper (Chris)
- opregion updates (Jani Nukla)
- tuning and fixes for wait_for macros (Tvrkto&Imre)
- more kabylake pci ids (Rodrigo)
- pps cleanup and fixes for bxt (Imre)
- move sink crc support over to atomic state (Maarten)
- fix up async fbdev init ordering (Chris)
- fbc fixes from Paulo and Chris

Linux 4.7-rc7

regulator: Provide a branch for moderninzation of the PWM code

There's a new, improved PWM API which allows a lot of improvements in
the PWM regulator driver.  Since the bulk of the changes are in the PWM
API this is being managed in the PWM tree, merge pending regulator API
changes to allow this to be resolved more easily.

IOMMU Fixes for Linux v4.7-rc6

Two Fixes:

	* Intel VT-d fix for a suspend/resume issue, introduced with the
	  scalability improvements in this cycle.

	* AMD IOMMU fix for systems that have unity mappings defined. There was
	  a race where translation got enabled before the unity mappings were
	  in place. This issue was seen on some HP servers.

Final (hopefully) GPIO fixes for v4.7:
- Fix an oops on the Asus Eee PC 1201
- Revert a patch trying to split GPIO parsing and GPIO configuration
- Revert a too liberal compile testing thing

Power management fixes for v4.7-rc7

 - Fix a recent performance regression on Power systems (powernv
   and pseries) introduced by a core cpuidle commit that decreased
   the precision of the last_residency conversion from nano- to
   microseconds, which should not matter in theory, but turned out
   to play not-so-well with the special "snooze" idle state on Power
   (Shreyas B Prabhu).

 - Fix a crash during resume from hibernation on x86-64 caused by
   possible corruption of the kernel text part of page tables in the
   last phase of image restoration exposed by a security-related
   change during the 4.3 development cycle (Rafael Wysocki).
