This is the 3.18.81 stable release

media updates for v4.15-rc1

This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.15 kernel cycle:

CORE:
- Fix the semantics of raw GPIO to actually be raw. No
  inversion semantics as before, but also no open draining,
  and allow the raw operations to affect lines used for
  interrupts as the caller supposedly knows what they are
  doing if they are getting the big hammer.

- Rewrote the __inner_function() notation calls to names that
  make more sense. I just find this kind of code disturbing.

- Drop the .irq_base() field from the gpiochip since now all
  IRQs are mapped dynamically. This is nice.

- Support for .get_multiple() in the core driver API. This
  allows us to read several GPIO lines with a single
  register read. This has high value for some usecases: it
  can be used to create oscilloscopes and signal analyzers
  and other things that rely on reading several lines at
  exactly the same instant. Also a generally nice
  optimization. This uses the new assign_bit() macro from
  the bitops lib that was ACKed by Andrew Morton and
  is implemented for two drivers, one of them being the
  generic MMIO driver so everyone using that will be able
  to benefit from this.

- Do not allow requests of Open Drain and Open Source
  setting of a GPIO line simultaneously. If the hardware
  actually supports enabling both at the same time the
  electrical result would be disastrous.

- A new interrupt chip core helper. This will be helpful
  to deal with "banked" GPIOs, which means GPIO controllers
  with several logical blocks of GPIO inside them. This
  is several gpiochips per device in the device model, in
  contrast to the case when there is a 1-to-1 relationship
  between a device and a gpiochip.

NEW DRIVERS:

- Maxim MAX3191x industrial serializer, a very interesting
  piece of professional I/O hardware.

- Uniphier GPIO driver. This is the GPIO block from the
  recent Socionext (ex Fujitsu and Panasonic) platform.

- Tegra 186 driver. This is based on the new banked GPIO
  infrastructure.

OTHER IMPROVEMENTS:

- Some documentation improvements.

- Wakeup support for the DesignWare DWAPB GPIO controller.

- Reset line support on the DesignWare DWAPB GPIO controller.

- Several non-critical bug fixes and improvements for the
  Broadcom BRCMSTB driver.

- Misc non-critical bug fixes like exotic errorpaths, removal
  of dead code etc.

- Explicit comments on fall-through switch() statements.

ASoC: Updates for v4.15

The biggest thing this release has been the conversion of the AC98 bus
to the driver model, that's been a long time coming so thanks to Robert
Jarzmik for his dedication there.  Due to there being some AC97 MFD
there's a few fairly large changes in input and the MFD layer, mainly to
the wm97xx driver.

There's also some drivers/drm changes to support the new AMD Stoney
platform, these are shared with the DRM subsystem and should be being
merged via both.

Within the subsystem the overwhelming bulk of the changes is in the
Intel drivers which continue to need lots of cleanups and fixes, this
release they've also gained support for their open source firmware.
There's also some large changs in the core as Morimoto-san continues to
mirror operations into the component level in preparation for conversion
of drivers to that.

 - The AC97 bus has finally caught up with the driver model thanks to
   some dedicated and persistent work from Robert Jarzmik.
 - Continued work from Morimoto-san on moving us towards being able to
   use components for everything.
 - Lots of cleanups for the Intel platform code, including support for
   their open source audio firmware.
 - Support for scaling MCLK with sample rate in simple-card.
 - Support for AMD Stoney platform.
