ASoC: Fixes for v3.14

A few fixes, all in drivers.  Nothing stands out particularly, the
biggest set of fixes is some build coverage issues from Sachin.

This is the 3.12.9 stable release

This is the 3.10.28 stable release

fbdev changes for 3.14

This is a rather boring pull request. There is one new fb driver, OpenCores
VGA/LCD, but other than that it's just minor cleanups and fixes.

DeviceTree updates for 3.14:

- Add new documents with guidelines for DT binding stability and review
  process. This is one of the outcomes of Kernel Summit DT discussions.
- Remove a bunch of device_type usage which is only for OF and
  deprecated with FDT.
- Fix a long standing issue with compatible string match ordering.
- Various minor binding documentation updates.

- Convert to misc driver to support module auto loading
- Remove unnecessary and dangerous use of device_lock

drm/tegra: Changes for v3.14-rc1 (update)

These patches fix some issues caused by the DRM panel support from the
previous pull request and add two more panels (for the Toshiba AC100 as
well as the Seaboard and Ventana).

regulator: Updates for v3.14

A respin of the merges in the previous pull request with one extra fix.
A quiet release for the regulator API, quite a large number of small
improvements all over but other than the addition of new drivers for the
AS3722 and MAX14577 there is nothing of substantial non-local impact.

sound updates for 3.14-rc1

It was holiday season, so no wonder that there are little changes in
framework level, although diffstat shows quite many changes spreaded
over sound/* directories.  Most of changes are cleanups, code
refactoring and fixes.

Some highlights:

- Removal of OSS sleep_on usages by Arnd

- Simplified memalloc helper codes, drop obsoleted features;
  now it's built into PCM driver instead of an individual module

- Warn if PCM buffer preallocation fails, which will show page
  allocation issues more clearly

- Compress offload API updates for sample rates by Vinod

- PCM glitch workaround on ctxfi emu20k1 by Sarah

- Drop cs46xx DSP blobs, using firmware loader now

- USB-audio quitks for Plantronics Gamecom 780, Creative VF0420,
  and Focusrite Saffire 6

HD-audio specifics:

- Standardize Kconfigs of HD-audio codec drivers;
  now "make localmodconfig" recognizes configs properly (finally!)

- Parallel PM implementation by Mengdong

- BayleyBay/ValleyView2 board fixups

- Broadwell audio support

- Runtime PM improvement (PantherPoint, etc)

- Quirks: Dell subwooer, Gigabyte mobo jack detection oddity,
  Dell AiO click noise fixes, Dell headset mic fixes, etc

- Automatic bind with HDMI codec parser without generic parser

- More AD codec fixes (since 3.12 regression) including the automatic
  stereo mix support

- Common Thinkpad ACPI helper for Realtek and Conexant codecs

ASoC specifics:

- Update to the generic DMA code to support deferred probe and managed
  resources

- New drivers for BCM2835 (used in Raspberry Pi), Tegra with MAX98090
  and Analog Devices AXI I2S and S/PDIF controller IPs

- Device tree support for the simple card, max98090 and cs42l52

- Conversion of the Samsung drivers to native dmaengine, making them
  multiplatform compatible and hopefully helping keep them more modern
  and up to date.

- More regmap conversions, including a very welcome one for twl6040
  from Peter Ujfalusi

- A big overhaul of the DaVinci drivers also from Peter Ujfalusi

- Lots of DMA updates from Lars-Peter

- Improvements to the constraints handling code from Lars-Peter

- A very helpful conversion of the TWL4030 driver to regmap from Peter

- A new driver for the Freescale ESAI controller from Nicolin Chen

- Conversion of some of the drivers to use params_width()

- Extensions to DPCM for use with compressed audio from Liam

Bulk pin control changes for the v3.14 cycle:

- New driver for the Qualcomm TLMM pin controller and its
  msm8x74 subdriver.

- New driver for the Broadcom Capri BCM281xx SoC.

- New subdriver for the imx25 pin controller.

- New subdriver for the Tegra124 pin controller.

- Lock GPIO lines as IRQs for select combined pin control and
  GPIO drivers for baytrail and sirf.

- Some semi-big refactorings and extenstions to the sirf
  driver.

- Lots of patching, cleanup and fixing in the Renesas "PFC"
  driver and associated subdrivers as usual. It is settling
  down a little bit now it seems.

- Minor fixes and incremental updates here and there as usual.

GPIO tree bulk changes for v3.14

A big set this merge window, as we have much going on in
this subsystem. Major changes this time:

- Some core improvements and cleanups to the new GPIO
  descriptor API. This seems to be working now so we can
  start the exodus to this API, moving gradually away from
  the global GPIO numberspace.

- Incremental improvements to the ACPI GPIO core, and move
  the few GPIO ACPI clients we have to the GPIO descriptor
  API right *now* before we go any further. We actually
  managed to contain this *before* we started to litter
  the kernel with yet another hackish global numberspace for
  the ACPI GPIOs, which is a big win.

- The RFkill GPIO driver and all platforms using it have
  been migrated to use the GPIO descriptors rather than
  fixed number assignments. Tegra machine has been migrated
  as part of this.

- New drivers for MOXA ART, Xtensa GPIO32 and SMSC SCH311x.
  Those should be really good examples of how I expect a
  nice GPIO driver to look these days.

- Do away with custom GPIO implementations on a major
  part of the ARM machines: ks8695, lpc32xx, mv78xx0.
  Make a first step towards the same in the horribly
  convoluted Samsung S3C include forest. We expect to
  continue to clean this up as we move forward.

- Flag GPIO lines used for IRQ on adnp, bcm-kona, em,
  intel-mid and lynxpoint.
  This makes the GPIOlib core aware that a certain GPIO line
  is used for IRQs and can then enforce some semantics such
  as disallowing a GPIO line marked as in use for IRQ to be
  switched to output mode.

- Drop all use of irq_set_chip_and_handler_name().
  The name provided in these cases were just unhelpful
  tags like "mux" or "demux".

- Extend the MCP23s08 driver to handle interrupts.

- Minor incremental improvements for rcar, lynxpoint, em
  74x164 and msm drivers.

- Some non-urgent bug fixes here and there, duplicate
  #includes and that usual kind of cleanups.

ACPI and power management updates for 3.14-rc1

 - ACPI core changes to make it create a struct acpi_device object for every
   device represented in the ACPI tables during all namespace scans regardless
   of the current status of that device.  In accordance with this, ACPI hotplug
   operations will not delete those objects, unless the underlying ACPI tables
   go away.

 - On top of the above, new sysfs attribute for ACPI device objects allowing
   user space to check device status by triggering the execution of _STA for
   its ACPI object.  From Srinivas Pandruvada.

 - ACPI core hotplug changes reducing code duplication, integrating the
   PCI root hotplug with the core and reworking container hotplug.

 - ACPI core simplifications making it use ACPI_COMPANION() in the code
   "glueing" ACPI device objects to "physical" devices.

 - ACPICA update to upstream version 20131218.  This adds support for the
   DBG2 and PCCT tables to ACPICA, fixes some bugs and improves debug
   facilities.  From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng and Betty Dall.

 - Init code change to carry out the early ACPI initialization earlier.
   That should allow us to use ACPI during the timekeeping initialization
   and possibly to simplify the EFI initialization too.  From Chun-Yi Lee.

 - Clenups of the inclusions of ACPI headers in many places all over from
   Lv Zheng and Rashika Kheria (work in progress).

 - New helper for ACPI _DSM execution and rework of the code in drivers
   that uses _DSM to execute it via the new helper.  From Jiang Liu.

 - New Win8 OSI blacklist entries from Takashi Iwai.

 - Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups from Al Stone, Emil Goode, Hanjun Guo,
   Lan Tianyu, Masanari Iida, Oliver Neukum, Prarit Bhargava, Rashika Kheria,
   Tang Chen, Zhang Rui.

 - intel_pstate driver updates, including proper Baytrail support, from
   Dirk Brandewie and intel_pstate documentation from Ramkumar Ramachandra.

 - Generic CPU boost ("turbo") support for cpufreq from Lukasz Majewski.

 - powernow-k6 cpufreq driver fixes from Mikulas Patocka.

 - cpufreq core fixes and cleanups from Viresh Kumar, Jane Li, Mark Brown.

 - Assorted cpufreq drivers fixes and cleanups from Anson Huang, John Tobias,
   Paul Bolle, Paul Walmsley, Sachin Kamat, Shawn Guo, Viresh Kumar.

 - cpuidle cleanups from Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz.

 - Support for hibernation APM events from Bin Shi.

 - Hibernation fix to avoid bringing up nonboot CPUs with ACPI EC disabled
   during thaw transitions from Bjørn Mork.

 - PM core fixes and cleanups from Ben Dooks, Leonardo Potenza, Ulf Hansson.

 - PNP subsystem fixes and cleanups from Dmitry Torokhov, Levente Kurusa,
   Rashika Kheria.

 - New tool for profiling system suspend from Todd E Brandt and a cpupower
   tool cleanup from One Thousand Gnomes.
