sound updates for 4.16-rc1

The major changes in the core API side in this cycle are the still
on-going ASoC componentization works.  Other than that, only few small
changes such as 20bit PCM format support are found.

Meanwhile the rest majority of changes are for ASoC drivers:
- Large cleanups of some of the TI CODEC drivers
- Continued work on Intel ASoC stuff for new quirks, ACPI GPIO
  handling, Kconfigs and lots of cleanups
- Refactoring of the Freescale SSI driver, as preliminary work for the
  upcoming changes
- Work on ST DFSDM driver, including the required IIO patches
- New drivers for Allwinner A83T, Maxim MAX89373, SocioNext UiniPhier
  EVEA Tempo Semiconductor TSCS42xx and TI PCM816x, TAS5722 and TAS6424
  devices
- Removal of dead codes for SN95031 and board drivers

Last but not least, a few HD-audio and USB-audio quirks are included
as usual, too.

ASoC: Updates for v4.16

Some final updates for the merge window, this brings in some
improvements to the ACPI GPIO handling for Intel and a bunch of fixes.

wireless-drivers-next patches for 4.16

Final few patches before the merge window, nothing really special.

ath9k

* add MSI support (not enabled by default yet)

rtlwifi

* support A-MSDU in A-MPDU aggregation

nouveau, i915, vmwgfx and sun4i regression fixes

Fixes for 4.16:

Fixes one Kconfig issue and a enable some panels to work properly.
There is also a fix of error code return in sun4i.

Display corruption regression bugfix with both a prep patch and a
follow-up fix

GPIO fix for the v4.15 series, this fixes the bit fiddling in the
MMIO GPIO driver.

wireless-drivers fixes for 4.15

One last set of fixes for regression submitted during the last few days.

bcma & ssb

* fix older build problems which (apparently) recently became more
  frequent in certain MIPS configurations

brcmfmac

* continue driver initialisation even if CLM blob (firmware) file is
  not found

Final 4.15 drm-misc pull:

Just 3 sun4i patches to fix clock computation/checks.

This is the 4.14.14 stable release

This is the 4.9.77 stable release

This is the 4.4.112 stable release

This is the 3.18.92 stable release

sound fixes for 4.15

Yet a few small last-minute fixes that should sneak into 4.15:

- Removal of a spurious WARN_ON() triggered by syzkaller
- Fix for ioctl races in ALSA sequencer
- Two trivial HD-audio fixup entries

More fixes:
 * hwsim:
    - properly flush deletion works at module unload
    - validate # of channels passed from userspace
 * cfg80211:
    - fix RCU locking regression
    - initialize on-stack channel data for nl80211 event
    - check dev_set_name() return value

Linux 4.15-rc8

wireless-drivers-next patches for 4.16

Here are patches which have been accumulating over the holidays and
after the New Year. Business as usual and nothing special really
standing out.

But what's noteworthy here is that Larry Finger is stepping down as
the rtlwifi maintainer. He has been maintaining rtlwifi since it was
applied back in 2010 in commit 0c8173385e54 ("rtl8192ce: Add new
driver") and it has been no easy role trying to juggle between the
vendor, demanding upstream community and users. So big thank you to
Larry for all his efforts!

ath10k

* more preparation work for wcn3990 support

* add memory dump to firmware coredump files

wil6210

* support scheduled scan

* support 40-bit DMA addresses

qtnfmac

* support MAC address based access control

* support for radar detection and Channel Availibility Check (CAC)

mwifiex

* firmware coredump for usb devices

rtlwifi

* Larry Finger steps down as the maintainer and Ping-Ke Shih becomes
  the new maintainer

* add debugfs interfaces to dump register and btcoex status, and also
  write registers and h2c

ASoC: Updates for v4.16

Some more updates for v4.16, the big things here are the ST DFSDM driver
and the IIO patches required to support that and even more in the
neverending series of code quality improvements for x86, including
Pierre's work to improve the Kconfig.  The unused SN95031 driver and
associated board support are also removed, they haven't been buildable
for a considerable time without anyone noticing.

i915, tegra, nouveau, vc4 and vmwgfx fixes

Hopefully final drm/i915 fixes for v4.15:
- Fix a KASAN reported use after free
- Whitelist a register to avoid hangs
- GVT fixes
