Linux 4.8-rc1

media updates for v4.8-rc1

First set of fixes for the current cycle:
 * fix 80+80 bandwidth warning
 * fix powersave with mac80211 TXQ implementation
 * use correct way to free SKBs from multicast buffering
 * mesh: fix operation ordering to work with all drivers
 * mesh: end service period even when peer goes away
 * mesh: correct HT opmode validity checks
 * pass hw pointer from mac80211 to driver in TPT method,
   fixing a bug (in a bit the wrong way, but that's what
   we have right now)

sound fixes for 4.8-rc1

Nothing existing here: as usual a few HD-audio fixes (device fixups,
a new AMD PCI ID, and a fix for krealloc() usage), in addition to a
fix in Kconfig for legacy arm drivers.

media updates for v4.8-rc1

sound updates for 4.8

Majority of this update is about ASoC, including a few new drivers,
and the rest are mostly minor changes.  The only substantial change in
ALSA core is about the additional error handling in the
compress-offload API.  Below are highlights:

- Add the error propagating support in compress-offload API

- HD-audio: a usual Dell headset fixup, an Intel HDMI/DP fix, and the
  default mixer setup change ot turn off the loopback

- Lots of updates for ASoC Intel drivers, mostly board support and bug
  fixing, and to the NAU8825 driver

- Work on generalizing bits of simple-card to allow more code sharing
  with the Renesas rsrc-card (which can't use simple-card due to DPCM)

- Removal of the Odroid X2 driver due to replacement with simple-card

- Support for several new Mediatek platforms and associated boards

- New ASoC drivers for Allwinner A10, Analog Devices ADAU7002, Broadcom
  Cygnus, Cirrus Logic CS35L33 and CS53L30, Maxim MAX8960 and MAX98504,
  Realtek RT5514 and Wolfson WM8758

Linux 3.18.38

Linux 4.1.29

The bulk of the changes are updates and fixes to existing clk provider
drivers, along with a pretty standard number of new drivers. The core
recieved a small number of updates as well.

Core changes of note:
* Removed CLK_IS_ROOT flag

New clk provider drivers:
* Renesas r8a7796 Clock Pulse Generator / Module Standby and Software
  Reset
* Allwinner sun8i H3 Clock Controller Unit
* AmLogic meson8b clock controller (rewritten)
* AmLogic gxbb clock controller
* Support for some new ICs was added by simple changes to static data
  tables for chips sharing the same family

Driver updates of note:
* the Allwinner sunxi clock driver infrastucture was rewritten to
  comform to the state of the art at drivers/clk/sunxi-ng. The old
  implementation is still supported for backwards compatibility with the
  DT ABI

DeviceTree update for 4.8:

- Removal of most of_platform_populate() calls in arch code. Now the DT
core code calls it in the default case and platforms only need to call
it if they have special needs.

- Use pr_fmt on all the DT core print statements.

- CoreSight binding doc improvements to block name descriptions.

- Add dt_to_config script which can parse dts files and list
corresponding kernel config options.

- Fix memory leak hit with a PowerMac DT.

- Correct a bunch of STMicro compatible strings to use the correct
vendor prefix.

- Fix DA9052 PMIC binding doc to match what is actually used in dts
files.
