Bulk GPIO changes for the v4.10 kernel cycle:

Core changes:

- Simplify threaded interrupt handling: instead of passing
  numbed parameters to gpiochip_irqchip_add_chained() we
  create a new call: gpiochip_irqchip_add_nested() so the two
  types are clearly semantically different. Also make sure
  that all nested chips call gpiochip_set_nested_irqchip()
  which is necessary for IRQ resend to work properly if
  it happens.

- Return error on seek operations for the chardev.

- Clamp values set as part of gpio[d]_direction_output() so
  that anything != 0 will be send down to the driver as "1"
  not the value passed in.

- ACPI can now support naming of GPIO lines, hogs and holes
  in the GPIO lists.

New drivers:

- The SX150x driver was deemed unfit for the GPIO subsystem
  and was moved over to a combined GPIO+pinctrl driver in the
  pinctrl subsystem.

New features:

- Various cleanups to various drivers.

Linux 4.9

This is the 4.8.14 stable release

This is the 4.4.38 stable release

Three fixes:
 * fix a logic bug introduced by a previous cleanup
 * fix nl80211 attribute confusing (trying to use
   a single attribute for two purposes)
 * fix a long-standing BSS leak that happens when an
   association attempt is abandoned

one AMD fix

ASoC: Pin enable controls for components

Provide an interface for devices to manipulate their own pins in DAPM
without being affected by the renaming facilities provided by ASoC for
machine drivers.
