ASoC: Fixes for v3.19

There's a lot more fixes here than I'd like since I've been lax in
sending things throughout the release cycle but there's only two in
generic code and they've had quite some time to cook in -next so
hopefully on balance are OK.

The two generic fixes are a fix for crashes on capture DAIs in the
compress code and a fix for error handling on probe failures which would
have been harmless in the past but now oopses with the new dynamic probe
code.

regulator: Fixes for v3.19

One correctness fix here for the s2mps11 driver which would have
resulted in some of the regulators being completely broken together with
a fix for locking in regualtor_put() (which is fortunately rarely called
at all in practical systems).

Linux 3.19-rc6

Allwinner device tree changes for 3.20

A lot of changes to the device tree for the 3.20 merge window, mostly with:
  - More DT license convertions, only two DTS and two DTSI are still uncertain
    and have not been converted yet
  - Use the C-preprocessor includes in the device trees.
  - Add support for the A31s SoC and improve the A80 support
  - Add IR receiver, lradc, PS/2 support
  - Add cpufreq support for all SoCs but the A23 and A80.
  - And a lot of new boards

Allwinner defconfig changes for 3.20

Defconfig changes for both sunxi and multi_v7 defconfig in order to add the
cpufreq-related drivers and the PMIC drivers.

Allwinner core changes for 3.20

  - Support for the A31s
  - Adding support for cpufreq using cpufreq-dt

Allwinner clock changes for 3.20

The set of clock changes for the 3.20 merge window, with mostly:
  - Some PLL fixes for the A80 and A31
  - The MMC custom phase functions are removed, and moved over to the generic
    phase API.
  - Add the A80 MMC clocks

Some DT changes slipped here as well, to preserve bisectability.

Allwinner fixes for 3.19

A few minor fixes for the 3.19 kernel:
  - The 8250 uart driver now respects the aliases, which pointed out that we
    were using them wrong. Fixed them.
  - The simplefb pipeline that was used on the A10 caused flickering and
    tearing, and rendered it pretty much useless. Added a new simplefb node
    with another pipeline that removes this issue. Note that we need to keep
    the old node because u-boot 2015.01 uses it.
  - Added a fix for the USB phy node on sun4i/sun5i

Another set of last-minute fixes:
 * fix station double-removal when suspending while associating
 * fix the HT (802.11n) header length calculation
 * fix the CCK radiotap flag used for monitoring, a pretty
   old regression but a simple one-liner
 * fix per-station group-key handling

First round of IIO new drivers, cleanups and functionality for the 3.20 cycle take 2

Updated pull request with Daniel's fix on top for the power management
Kconfig changes that had snuck in since last update of the IIO tree
worked it's way through from mainline.

Original pull message

New device support
* jsa1212 proxmity / ambient light sensor
* SM08500 supported added to the kxcjk-1013 accelerometer driver
* KMX61 Accelerometer/Magnetometer.  This took a somewhat rocky path
  being first merged, then reverted for a rewrite after a discussion of
  how to support additional functionality and finally being merged prior
  to some last reviews coming in, with resultant follow up patches.
* Freescale mma9551l driver (minor follow up warning supression patch).
* Semtech SX9500 proximity device driver.
* ak8975 gains support for ak09911 and ak09912 and drop the standalone driver
  for the ak09911.

New functionality
 * Dummy driver gains some virtual registers making it more flexible.
 * IIO_ACTIVITY channel types, with modifiers running, walking etc.  This is
   to support on chip motion clasifiers.  As such it is in the form of a
   confidence percentage.  The only devices so far only do binary decisions
   but this gives us room when other devices give more nuanced clasification.
 * IIO_EV_DIR_NONE type for events where there is no obvious direction.
   First case is step detection.
 * IIO_STEPS channel type for pedometers.
 * ENABLE mask element used to control turning on counting types such as
   the pedometer that need a 'start point'.
 * INSTANCE event type to support things that happen once.
 * info element for height calibration (used in various motion estimation
   algorithms). Note heigh tof use
 * dummy driver demonstration of the use of all the new bits above.
 * event monitor support for the new events.
 * inv_mpu6050 gains an i2c mux to allow bypassing the device to access
   additional devices connected on the other side of it.  Note that in
   Windows these are handled by firmware on the device and not exposed
   directly.
 * inv_mpu6050 gains ACPI enumeration.
 * inkern interface gains iio_write_channel_raw to allow in kernel users
   of DAC functionality via a simple wrapper.
 * Document input current readings in the ABI docs.
 * Add an error message when we get an out of range error in device tree
   processing for the in kernel interfaces.  Basically a device tree debugging
   aid.
 * Add a sanity check that a scan index for a channel is unique during
   registration.  There to help catch bugs as this should never happen
   in a bug free driver.

Cleanups and fixlets

 A rework of buffer registration from Lars - a precursor to some other
 upcoming new stuff (a few patches from others rolled in here as well).
 * Ensure all drivers register the same channels for the device and buffer.
 * Move buffer registration into the core rather than using the old
   two step approach.  Now we have simple ways of using a unified set channels
   for both without requiring channels be exposed by both interface, this
   removes a fair bit of boilerplate.
 * Stop sca3000 and ad5933 (both in staging) enabling buffer channels by
   default. It has long be convention in IIO to startup with no channels
   enabled and leave it up to userspace to say what goes in the buffer.
   Getting rid of these allows us to drop export of iio_scan_mask_set.
 * Drop get_bytes_per_datum from iio_buffer_access_funcs as not been used
   for a while.
 * Allocate standard buffer attributes in the core rather than in every
   driver with a buffer.
 * Make the length attribute read only when a driver is not able to set
   the length.
 * Drop the get_length callback for buffers as it is already available in
   struct iio_buffer.
 * Drop an unused arguement form iio_kfifo_allocate and add devm allocator
   for it.
 * some kconfig entries gain anotation with the resulting module name.
 * Fix a resulting compile issue in dummy driver due to a stub taking
   wrong parameters as a result of the above rework.
 * Fix an off by 2 error in copying the core assigned buffer attributes.

Other cleanups,
 * Trivial space before comma fixups.
 * ak8975 fixlets - none critical.  Rework to allow more device support.
 * Drop unnecessary sizeof(u8) calls.
 * bmp280 - refactor the compensation code to reduce copy operations and
   code length.  A second patch futher optimized this and performed some
   other minor cleanups.
 * kxcjk-1013 - various power control cleanups to avoid unnecessary enable
   / disable of device.  Make sure it is only controlled at all if CONFIG_PM
   is enabled.  Also som cleanups of error paths.
 * Small cleanups in adf4530 driver - pointless message and unnecessary braces.
 * Clarifiy the proximity ABI docs to make it clear it should get bigger
   as we move futher away.
 * Drop a misleading comment form industrialio-core.c
 * Trivial white space cleanups.
 * sca3000 looses an unused debug function.
 * Fix char unsigned ordering in ad8366
 * Increase the sleep time in ad9523 to make it predictable (value didn't
   really matter so make it more than 20 msecs)
 * mxs-lradc touchscreen property cleanups in device tree are fixed to ensure
   the meet all the 'interesting' documentation.
 * A couple of cleanups for the staging ad5933 driver to avoid unnecessary
   conversion to a processed temperature vlaue in kernel and remove
   platform data form the state structure as not needed after probe.
 * Fix a wrong scale factor in the docs.

Misc
 * Add IIO include files to the maintainers entry.

sound fixes for 3.19-rc6

This batch contains two fixes for FireWire lib module and a quirk
for yet another Logitech WebCam.  The former is the fixes for MIDI
handling I forgot to pick up during the merge window.  All the
fixed code is pretty local and shouldn't give any regressions.
