This is the 3.2.73 stable release

Linux 4.4-rc1

First set of IIO fixes for the 4.4 cycle.

This set does not include those for issues introduced during the merge
window.  Fixes of those will follow in a future series.

* ad5064
  - Make sure the local i2c_write returns 0 on success rather than the
    number of bytes transfered.  Otherwise we report an error on all writes.
  - Fix a shift for ad5629 and ad5669 which gives incorrect DAC output on
    these parts.
* ad7793
  - The product ID on the datasheet is wrong.  Fix it in the driver.
* IIO_DUMMY_EVGEN
  - select IRQ_WORK as a dependency.
* lpc32xx
  - make sure clock is prepared before enabling.
* si7020
  - data byte order was reversed. Fix it.
* vf610
  - Internal temperature calculation was wrong if a different
    reference voltage was used.  Now use a linear interpolation
    function to make it work over the full range.
  - Fix a division by zero in the case of a device tree property
    not being present (same issue two fixes).
* xilinx XADC
  - VREFN scale was wrong - fix it.

sound fixes for 4.4-rc1

Here are a collection of small fixes tha have been gathered for
4.4-rc1.  The only significant changes are those in PCI drivers
Kconfig, to use "depends on" instead of "select" for CONFIG_ZONE_DMA.
A reverse select is often more user-friendly, but in this case, it
makes hard to manage with the conflict with ZONE_DEVICE, so changed in
such a way for now.

Others are all small fixes and quirks: an error check in soundcore
reigster_chrdev(), HD-audio HDMI/DP phantom jack fix, Intel Broxton DP
quirk, USB-audio DSD device quirk, some constifications, etc.

More power management and ACPI updates for v4.4-rc1

 - Support for the ACPI _CCA configuration object intended to tell
   the OS whether or not a bus master device supports hardware
   managed cache coherency and a new set of functions to allow
   drivers to check the cache coherency support for devices in a
   platform firmware interface agnostic way (Suravee Suthikulpanit,
   Jeremy Linton).

 - ACPI backlight quirks for ESPRIMO Mobile M9410 and Dell XPS L421X
   (Aaron Lu, Hans de Goede).

 - Fixes for the arm_big_little and s5pv210-cpufreq cpufreq drivers
   (Jon Medhurst, Nicolas Pitre).

 - kfree()-related fixup for the recently introduced CPPC cpufreq
   frontend (Markus Elfring).

 - intel_pstate fix reducing kernel log noise on systems where
   P-states are managed by hardware (Prarit Bhargava).

 - intel_pstate maintainers information update (Srinivas Pandruvada).

 - cpufreq core optimization related to the handling of delayed work
   items used by governors (Viresh Kumar).

 - Locking fixes and cleanups of the Operating Performance Points
   (OPP) framework (Viresh Kumar).

 - Generic power domains framework cleanups (Lina Iyer).

 - cpupower tool updates (Jacob Tanenbaum, Sriram Raghunathan,
   Thomas Renninger).

 - turbostat tool updates (Len Brown).

sound updates for 4.4-rc1

Here is the first batch of updates for sound system on 4.4-rc1.
Again at this time, the update looks fairly calm; no big changes in
either ALSA core or ASoC infrastructures, rather all small cleanups,
in addition to the new stuff as usual.

The biggest changes are about Firewire sound devices.  It gained lots
of new device support, and MIDI functionality.  Also there are updates
for a few still working-in-progress stuff (topology API and ASoC
skylake), too.  But overall, this update should give no big surprise.

Some highlight is below:

Core:
 - A few more Kconfig items for tinification; it's marked as EXPERT,
   so normal user should't be bothered :)
 - Refactoring with a new PCM hw_constraint helper
 - Removal of unused transfer_ack_{begin,end} PCM callbacks

Firewire:
 - Restructuring of code subtree, lots of refactoring
 - Support AMDTP variants
 - New driver for Digidesign 002/003 family
 - Adds support for TASCAM FireOne to ALSA OXFW driver
 - Add MIDI support to TASCAM and Digi00x devices

HD-Audio:
 - Automated modalias generation for codec drivers, finally
 - Improvement on heuristics for setting mixer name
 - A few fixes for longstanding bugs on Creative CA0132 cards
 - Addition of audio rate callback with i915 communication
 - Fix suspend issue on recent Dell XPS
 - Intel Lewisburg controller support

ASoC:
 - Updates to the topology userspace interface
 - Big updates to the Renesas support (rcar)
 - More updates for supporting Intel Sky Lake systems
 - New drivers for Asahi Kasei Microdevices AK4613, Allwinnner A10,
   Cirrus Logic WM8998, Dialog DA7219, Nuvoton NAU8825, Rockchip
   S/PDIF, and Atmel class D amplifier

USB-Audio:
 - A fix for newer Roland MIDI devices
 - Quirks and workarounds for Zoom R16/24 device

Misc:
 - A few fixes for some old Cirrus CS46xx PCI sound boards
 - Yet another fixes for some old ESS Maestro3 PCI sound boards

DeviceTree updates for 4.4:

- DT binding doc consolidation moving similar bindings to common
  locations. The majority of these are display related which were
  scattered in video/, fb/, drm/, gpu/, and panel/ directories.
- Add new config option, CONFIG_OF_ALL_DTBS, to enable building all dtbs
  in the tree for most arches with dts files (except powerpc for now).
- OF_IRQ=n fixes for user enabled CONFIG_OF.
- of_node_put ref counting fixes from Julia Lawall.
- Common DT binding for wakeup-source and deprecation of all similar
  bindings.
- DT binding for PXA LCD controller.
- Allow ignoring failed PCI resource translations in order to ignore
  64-bit addresses on non-LPAE 32-bit kernels.
- Support setting the NUMA node from DT instead of only from parent
  device.
- Couple of earlycon DT parsing fixes for address and options.

IOMMU Updates for Linux v4.4

This time including:

	* A new IOMMU driver for s390 pci devices

	* Common dma-ops support based on iommu-api for ARM64. The plan is to
	  use this as a basis for ARM32 and hopefully other architectures as
	  well in the future.

	* MSI support for ARM-SMMUv3

	* Cleanups and dead code removal in the AMD IOMMU driver

	* Better RMRR handling for the Intel VT-d driver

	* Various other cleanups and small fixes

The majority of the changes are driver updates and new device
support. The core framework is mostly unchanged this time
around, with only a couple patches to expose a clk provider
API and make getting clk parent names from DT more robust.

Driver updates:

- Support for clock controllers found on Broadcom Northstar
  SoCs and bcm2835 SoC

- Support for Allwinner audio clocks

- A few cleanup patches for Tegra drivers and support for the
  highest DFLL frequencies on Tegra124

- Samsung exynos7 fixes and improvements

- i.Mx SoC updates to add a few missing clocks and keep debug
  uart clocks on during kernel intialization

- Some mediatek cleanups and support for more subsystem clocks

- Support for msm8916 gpu/audio clocks and qcom's GDSC power domain
  controllers

- A new driver for the Silabs si514 clock chip

regulator: Updates for v4.4

This is quite a quiet release in terms of volume of patches but it
includes a couple of really nice core changes - the work Sascha has done
in particular is something I've wanted to get done for a long time but
just never got round to myself.  Highlights include:

 - Support from Sascha Hauer for setting the voltage of parent supplies
   based on requests from their children.  This is used both to allow
   set_voltage() to work through a dumb switch and to improve the
   efficiency of systems where DCDCs are used to supply LDOs by minimising
   the voltage drop over the LDOs.
 - Removal of regulator_list by Tomeu Vizoso, meaning we're not
   duplicating the device list maintained by the driver core.
 - Support for Wolfson/Cirrus WM8998 and WM1818.

Another set of fixes:
 * remove a warning on a check that can trigger without any
   errors having happened (Andrei)
 * correctly handle deauth request while in the process of
   associating (Andrei)
 * fix TDLS HT operation (Arik)
 * allow changing AID/listen interval during client setup (Ayala)
 * be more forgiving with WMM parameters to get HT/VHT in case of
   broken APs with bad WMM settings (Emmanuel, myself)
 * a number of other fixes (some in documentation)

media updates for v4.4-rc1

Power management and ACPI updates for v4.4-rc1

 - ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150930 (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng).

   The most significant change is to allow the AML debugger to be
   built into the kernel.  On top of that there is an update related
   to the NFIT table (the ACPI persistent memory interface)
   and a few fixes and cleanups.

 - ACPI CPPC2 (Collaborative Processor Performance Control v2)
   support along with a cpufreq frontend (Ashwin Chaugule).

   This can only be enabled on ARM64 at this point.

 - New ACPI infrastructure for the early probing of IRQ chips and
   clock sources (Marc Zyngier).

 - Support for a new hierarchical properties extension of the ACPI
   _DSD (Device Specific Data) device configuration object allowing
   the kernel to handle hierarchical properties (provided by the
   platform firmware this way) automatically and make them available
   to device drivers via the generic device properties interface
   (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Generic device properties API extension to obtain an index of
   certain string value in an array of strings, along the lines of
   of_property_match_string(), but working for all of the supported
   firmware node types, and support for the "dma-names" device
   property based on it (Mika Westerberg).

 - ACPI core fix to parse the MADT (Multiple APIC Description Table)
   entries in the order expected by platform firmware (and mandated
   by the specification) to avoid confusion on systems with more than
   255 logical CPUs (Lukasz Anaczkowski).

 - Consolidation of the ACPI-based handling of PCI host bridges
   on x86 and ia64 (Jiang Liu).

 - ACPI core fixes to ensure that the correct IRQ number is used to
   represent the SCI (System Control Interrupt) in the cases when
   it has been re-mapped (Chen Yu).

 - New ACPI backlight quirk for Lenovo IdeaPad S405 (Hans de Goede).

 - ACPI EC driver fixes (Lv Zheng).

 - Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups (Dan Carpenter, Insu Yun, Jiri
   Kosina, Rami Rosen, Rasmus Villemoes).

 - New mechanism in the PM core allowing drivers to check if the
   platform firmware is going to be involved in the upcoming system
   suspend or if it has been involved in the suspend the system is
   resuming from at the moment (Rafael Wysocki).

   This should allow drivers to optimize their suspend/resume
   handling in some cases and the changes include a couple of users
   of it (the i8042 input driver, PCI PM).

 - PCI PM fix to prevent runtime-suspended devices with PME enabled
   from being resumed during system suspend even if they aren't
   configured to wake up the system from sleep (Rafael Wysocki).

 - New mechanism to report the number of a wakeup IRQ that woke up
   the system from sleep last time (Alexandra Yates).

 - Removal of unused interfaces from the generic power domains
   framework and fixes related to latency measurements in that
   code (Ulf Hansson, Daniel Lezcano).

 - cpufreq core sysfs interface rework to make it handle CPUs that
   share performance scaling settings (represented by a common
   cpufreq policy object) more symmetrically (Viresh Kumar).

   This should help to simplify the CPU offline/online handling among
   other things.

 - cpufreq core fixes and cleanups (Viresh Kumar).

 - intel_pstate fixes related to the Turbo Activation Ratio (TAR)
   mechanism on client platforms which causes the turbo P-states
   range to vary depending on platform firmware settings (Srinivas
   Pandruvada).

 - intel_pstate sysfs interface fix (Prarit Bhargava).

 - Assorted cpufreq driver (imx, tegra20, powernv, integrator) fixes
   and cleanups (Bai Ping, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz, Shilpasri G
   Bhat, Luis de Bethencourt).

 - cpuidle mvebu driver cleanups (Russell King).

 - OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework code reorganization
   to make it more maintainable (Viresh Kumar).

 - Intel Broxton support for the RAPL (Running Average Power Limits)
   power capping driver (Amy Wiles).

 - Assorted power management code fixes and cleanups (Dan Carpenter,
   Geert Uytterhoeven, Geliang Tang, Luis de Bethencourt, Rasmus
   Villemoes).
