DeviceTree updates for 4.3:
- Adding Frank Rowand as DT maintainer in preparation for Grant's
  retirement.
- Generic MSI binding documentation and a few other minor doc updates
- Fix long standing issue with DT platorm device unregistration
- Fix loop forever bug in of_find_matching_node_by_address()

qcomlt-v4.2

Linux 3.18.21

The clk framework changes for 4.3 are mostly updates to existing drivers
and the addition of new clock drivers. Stephen Boyd has also done a lot
of subsystem-wide driver clean-ups (thanks!). There are also fixes to
the framework core and changes to better split clock provider drivers
from clock consumer drivers.

regulator: Updates for v4.3

The biggest changes in the core this time around have been some
refactorings that move us towards being able to drop the list of
regulators maintained by the core and instead just use the driver model
list maintained for the class devices for regulators which will make the
code smaller and avoid some potential bugs.  Otherwise another fairly
quiet release for the regulator API, highlights include:

 - A new API for setting voltages based on a minimum, target, maximum
   triplet.
 - Support for continuous voltage ranges rather than tables of explicit
   steps in the PWM regulator, requiring less explicit configuration.
 - New driver support for Dialog DA9215, Maxim 77843, Mediatek MT6311
   and Qualcomm RPM.

Linux 4.2

ASoC: Updates for v4.3

Not many updates to the core here, but an awful lot of driver updates
this time round:

 - Factoring out of AC'97 reset code into the core
 - New drivers for Cirrus CS4349, GTM601, InvenSense ICS43432, Realtek
   RT298 and ST STI controllers.
 - Machine drivers for Rockchip systems with MAX98090 and RT5645 and
   RT5650.
 - Initial driver support for Intel Skylake devices.
 - A large number of cleanups for Lars-Peter Clausen and Axel Lin.

Somehow I've forgotten to do a new dinq tag 2 weeks ago, so this covers 4 weeks.
Still not all that much due to vacation:
- PML4 pagetable support for 48b from Michel Thierry
- more fixes for sink crc from Rodrigo
- DP link settings cleanup from Ville
- GuC-based command submission from Alex Dai and Dave Gordon
- dpll cleanups for chv from Ville
- max pixel clock checking from Mika Kahola
- cleanup hpd bits handling (Jani)
- more power well trickery for chv from Ville

sound fixes #2 for 4.2-final

for USB-Audio DSD.

This is the 3.12.47 stable release

Major changes:

iwlwifi:

* new Tx power firmware API
* bump max firmware API to 17
* fix bug in debug prints
* static checker fix
* fix unused defines
* fix command list on newest firmware

brcmfmac:

* support NVRAM loading for bcm47xx platform
* new debugfs entry for msgbuf protocol layer used with PCIe devices

Linux 4.2-rc8

media fixes for v4.2-rc8

Power management and ACPI fixes for v4.2-rc8

 - Fix a recently introduced issue in the ACPI backlight code which
   causes lockdep to complain about a circular lock dependency during
   initialization (Hans de Goede).

 - Fix a possible memory during initialization in the Exynos cpufreq
   driver (Shailendra Verma).

sound fixes for 4.2-final

Here are a small collecton of sound fix patches.  The most significant
one is the disablement of newly introduced topology API.  Its ABI
couldn't be stabilized enough, so we decided to delay for 4.3 in the
end.  Other than that, all oneliner fixes: a USB-audio runtime PM fix
and a couple of HD-audio quirks.

ASoC: Disable topology support for v4.2

The topology code merged in the v4.2 merge window introduced a new ABI
which was believed to be suitable for use but subsequently additional
work by the developers of this feature have revealed some problems that
need to be addressed.  In order to allow this to be done without having
to support the initial ABI add Kconfig to disable the build and also add
some #error statements to the UAPI header so users can't use them.

Major changes:

ath10k:

* add support for qca99x0 family of devices
* improve performance of tx_lock
* add support for raw mode (802.11 frame format) and software crypto
  engine enabled via a module parameter

ath9k:

* add fast-xmit support

wil6210:

* implement TSO support
* support bootloader v1 and onwards

iwlwifi:

* Deprecate -10.ucode
* Clean ups towards multiple Rx queues
* Add support for longer CMD IDs. This will be required by new
  firmwares since we are getting close to the u8 limit.
* bugfixes for the D0i3 power state
* Add basic support for FTM
* polish the Miracast operation
* fix a few power consumption issues
* scan cleanup
* fixes for D0i3 system state
* add paging for devices that support it
* add again the new RBD allocation model
* add more options to the firmware debug system
* add support for frag SKBs in Tx
