This is the 3.14.39 stable release

This is the 3.19.5 stable release

This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.1 development
cycle:

- A new GPIO hogging mechanism has been added. This can
  be used on boards that want to drive some GPIO line high,
  low, or set it as input on boot and then never touch it
  again. For some embedded systems this is bliss and
  simplifies things to a great extent.

- Some API cleanup and closure: gpiod_get_array() and
  gpiod_put_array() has been added to get and put GPIOs
  in bulk as was possible with the non-descriptor API.

- Encapsulate cross-calls to the pin control subsystem in
  <linux/gpio/driver.h>. Now this should be the only header
  any GPIO driver needs to include or something is wrong.
  Cleanups restricting drivers to this include are welcomed
  if tested.

- Sort the GPIO Kconfig and split it into submenus, as
  it was becoming and unstructured, illogical and
  unnavigatable mess. I hope this is easier to follow.
  Menus that require a certain subsystem like I2C can
  now be hidden nicely for example, still working on
  others.

- New drivers:

    - New driver for the Altera Soft GPIO.

    - The F7188x driver now handles the F71869 and
      F71869A variants.

    - The MIPS Loongson driver has been moved to
      drivers/gpio for consolidation and cleanup.

- Cleanups:

   - The MAX732x is converted to use the GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP
     infrastructure.

   - The PCF857x is converted to use the GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP
     infrastructure.

   - Radical cleanup of the OMAP driver.

- Misc:

   - Enable the DWAPB GPIO for all architectures. This is
     a "hard IP" block from Synopsys which has started to
     turn up in so diverse architectures as X86 Quark, ARC
     and a slew of ARM systems. So even though it's not an
     expander, it's generic enough to be available for all.

   - We add a mock GPIO on Crystalcove PMIC after a long
     discussion with Daniel Vetter et al, tracing back to
     the shootout at the kernel summit where DRM drivers
     and sub-componentization was discussed. In this case
     a mock GPIO is assumed to be the best compromise
     gaining some reuse of infrastructure without making
     DRM drivers overly complex at the same time. Let's
     see.

ASoC: Updates for v4.1

More updates for v4.1, pretty much all drivers:

 - Lots of cleanups from Lars, mainly moving things from the CODEC level
   to the card level.
 - Continuing improvements to rcar from Morimoto-san, pcm512x from
   Howard and Peter, the Intel platforms from Vinod, Jie, Jin and Han,
   and to rt5670 from Bard.
 - Support for some non-DSP Qualcomm platforms, Google's Storm
   platform, Maxmim MAX98925 CODECs and the Ingenic JZ4780 SoC.

ASoC: Last minute fix for v4.0

This patch backs out a change that came in during the merge window which
selects a configuration for GPIO4 on pcm512x CODECs that may not be
suitable for all systems using the device.  Changes for v4.1 will make
this properly configurable but for now it's safest to revert to the
v3.19 behaviour and leave the pin configuration alone.

Sorry for sending this direct at the last minute but due to the GPIO
misuse it'd be really good to get it in the release and I'd not realised
it hadn't been sent yet - between some travel, a job change and other
non-urgent fixes coming in I'd lost track of the urgency.  It's been in
-next for several weeks now, is isolated to the driver and fairly clear
to inspection.

The most interesting bit here is irqfd/ioeventfd support for ARM and ARM64.

ARM/ARM64: fixes for live migration, irqfd and ioeventfd support (enabling
vhost, too), page aging

s390: interrupt handling rework, allowing to inject all local interrupts
via new ioctl and to get/set the full local irq state for migration
and introspection.  New ioctls to access memory by virtual address,
and to get/set the guest storage keys.  SIMD support.

MIPS: FPU and MIPS SIMD Architecture (MSA) support.  Includes some patches
from Ralf Baechle's MIPS tree.

x86: bugfixes (notably for pvclock, the others are small) and cleanups.
Another small latency improvement for the TSC deadline timer.

- cdclk handling cleanup and fixes from Ville
- more prep patches for olr removal from John Harrison
- gmbus pin naming rework from Jani (prep for bxt)
- remove ->new_config from Ander (more atomic conversion work)
- rps (boost) tuning and unification with byt/bsw from Chris
- cmd parser batch bool tuning from Chris
- gen8 dynamic pte allocation (Michel Thierry, based on work from Ben Widawsky)
- execlist tuning (not yet all of it) from Chris
- add drm_plane_from_index (Chandra)
- various small things all over
