This is the 2.6.32.71 stable release

media fixes for v4.5-rc8

Power management and ACPI fixes for final v4.5

 - Revert a recent ACPICA commit that has been reverted
   upstream, because it caused problems to happen on user
   systems and the problem it attempted to address will not be
   relevant any more after upcoming ACPI specification changes
   (Bob Moore).

 - Fix crash in the generic device properties framework introduced
   by a recent change that forgot to check pointers against error
   values in addition to checking them against NULL (Heikki Krogerus).

This is the 3.12.56 stable release

sound fixes for 4.5

It's always an ambivalent feeling to send a large pull request at the
late stage like this, especially when most of patches came from me.
In anyway, this is a collection of lots of small fixes that slipped
from the previous pull request.

All fixes are about ASoC, and the majority of changes are corrections
of the wrong access types in ALSA ctl enum items.  They are mostly
harmless on 32bit architectures, but actually buggy on 64bit.  So we
addressed all these now in a shot.  The rest are various small ASoC
driver fixes.

Among them, only two changes have been done to ASoC core, and both of
them are trivial.  The rest are all device-specific.  So overall, they
should be safe to apply.

ASoC: Fixes for v4.5

This is far too big a set of fixes for this late in the release cycle
but the overwhelming bulk is essentially the same simple fix from
Takashi for a cut'n'pasted 64 bit cleanliness issue in the userspace
interface where drivers were accessing things using the wrong element in
a union which worked OK on 32 bit platforms as the correct element
happened to be aligned the same way but with 64 bit platforms ABIs are
different and the two members of the union are laid out in different
places.  They aren't all tagged to stable since some of these chips have
vanishingly little chance of being used in 64 bit systems.

The other changes are:
 - A fix for Qualcomm devices to work on big endian systems.  The
   original change is actually correct but triggered a bug in regmap
   which is too invasive to fix for this cycle and can be worked around
   by just letting regmap pick the default.
 - A fix for the Samsung I2S driver locking which wasn't using IRQ safe
   spinlocks when it needed to.
 - A fix for the new Intel Sky Lake driver forgetting that C pointer
   arithmetic takes the type of the pointer into consideration.
 - A revert of a change to the FSL SSI driver that broke some systems.
 - A fix for the cleanup path of the wm9713 driver.
 - A fix for some incorrect register definitions in the ADAU17x1 driver
   that caused misclocking in some configurations.
 - A fix for the tracepoints for jack detection to avoid using an
   internal field of the core jack structure which is no longer present
   in all configurations.
 - A fix for another of the new Intel drivers which tried to write to a
   string literal.

Linux 4.5-rc7

sound fixes for 4.5-rc7

It's our tradition to get a high volume of fixes late at rc7: this
time, X32 ABI breakage was found and this resulted in a high number
LOCs.  The necessary changes to ALSA core codes were fairly
straightforward, and more importantly, they are specific to X32, thus
should be safe to apply.

Other than that, rather a collection of small fixes:
- Removal of the code that blocks too long at closing the OSS
  sequencer client (which was spotted by syzkaller, unsurprisingly)
- Fixes races at HD-audio HDMI i915 audio binding
- a few HDSP/HDPM zero-division fixes
- Quirks for HD-audio and USB-audio as usual

media fixes for v4.5-rc7

Power management and ACPI fixes for v4.5-rc7

 - Prevent the graph tracer from crashing when used over
   suspend-to-RAM on x86 by pausing it before invoking
   do_suspend_lowlevel() and un-pausing it when that function
   has returned (Todd Brandt).

 - Fix build issues in the qoriq and mediatek cpufreq drivers
   related to broken dependencies on THERMAL (Arnd Bergmann).
