Linux 34.0-rc1

The clock framework changes for 3.20 contain the usual driver additions,
enhancements and fixes mostly for ARM32, ARM64, MIPS and Power-based
devices. Additionaly the framework core underwent a bit of surgery with
two major changes. The boundary between the clock core and clock
providers (e.g clock drivers) is now more well defined with dedicated
provider helper functions. struct clk no longer maps 1:1 with the
hardware clock but is a true per-user cookie which helps us tracker
users of hardware clocks and debug bad behavior. The second major change
is the addition of rate constraints for clocks. Rate ranges are now
supported which are analogous to the voltage ranges in the regulator
framework. Unfortunately these changes to the core created some
breakeage. We think we fixed it all up but for this reason there are
lots of last minute commits trying to undo the damage.

This is the 3.2.67 stable release

sound fixes for 3.20-rc1

Here are a few small fix patches for 3.20-rc1:
- Quirks for Denon and Lifecam USB-audio devices and HD-audio
  on HP laptops
- A long-time regression fix for HDSP eMADI
- Add missing DRAIN_TRIGGER flag set for ASoC intel-sst
- Trivial fixes for sequencer core and HD-audio Tegra, a LINE6
  cleanup

This is the 3.12.38 stable release

Staging drivers patches for 3.20-rc1

Here's the big staging driver tree update for 3.20-rc1.  Lots of little
things in here, adding up to lots of overall cleanups.  The IIO driver
updates are also in here as they cross the staging tree boundry a lot.
I2O has moved into staging as well, as a plan to drop it from the tree
eventually as that's a dead subsystem.

All of this has been in linux-next with no reported issues for a while.

- use the atomic helpers for plane_upate/disable hooks (Matt Roper)
- refactor the initial plane config code (Damien)
- ppgtt prep patches for dynamic pagetable alloc (Ben Widawsky, reworked and
  rebased by a lot of other people)
- framebuffer modifier support from Tvrtko Ursulin, drm core code from Rob Clark
- piles of workaround patches for skl from Damien and Nick Hoath
- vGPU support for xengt on the client side (Yu Zhang)
- and the usual smaller things all over

IOMMU Updates for Linux v3.20

This time with:

	* Generic page-table framework for ARM IOMMUs using the LPAE page-table
	  format, ARM-SMMU and Renesas IPMMU make use of it already.

	* Break out of the IO virtual address allocator from the Intel IOMMU so
	  that it can be used by other DMA-API implementations too. The first
	  user will be the ARM64 common DMA-API implementation for IOMMUs

	* Device tree support for Renesas IPMMU

	* Various fixes and cleanups all over the place

DeviceTree changes for 3.20:

- DT unittests for I2C probing and overlays from Pantelis Antoniou
- Remove DT unittest dependency on OF_DYNAMIC from Gaurav Minocha
- Add Tegra compatible strings missing for newer parts from Paul
Walmsley
- Various vendor prefix additions

Fairly small update, but there are some interesting new features.

Common: Optional support for adding a small amount of polling on each HLT
instruction executed in the guest (or equivalent for other architectures).
This can improve latency up to 50% on some scenarios (e.g. O_DSYNC writes
or TCP_RR netperf tests).  This also has to be enabled manually for now,
but the plan is to auto-tune this in the future.

ARM/ARM64: the highlights are support for GICv3 emulation and dirty page
tracking

s390: several optimizations and bugfixes.  Also a first: a feature
exposed by KVM (UUID and long guest name in /proc/sysinfo) before
it is available in IBM's hypervisor! :)

MIPS: Bugfixes.

x86: Support for PML (page modification logging, a new feature in
Broadwell Xeons that speeds up dirty page tracking), nested virtualization
improvements (nested APICv---a nice optimization), usual round of emulation
fixes.  There is also a new option to reduce latency of the TSC deadline
timer in the guest; this needs to be tuned manually.

Some commits are common between this pull and Catalin's; I see you
have already included his tree.

ARM has other conflicts where functions are added in the same place
by 3.19-rc and 3.20 patches.  These are not large though, and entirely
within KVM.

rtlwifi:

* remove superfluous warning message which is not needed anymore

sound updates for 3.20-rc1

In this batch, you can find lots of cleanups through the whole
subsystem, as our good New Year's resolution.  Lots of LOCs and
commits are about LINE6 driver that was promoted finally from staging
tree, and as usual, there've been widely spread ASoC changes.

Here some highlights:

ALSA core changes
  - Embedding struct device into ALSA core structures
  - sequencer core cleanups / fixes
  - PCM msbits constraints cleanups / fixes
  - New SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_DRAIN command
  - PCM kerneldoc fixes, header cleanups
  - PCM code cleanups using more standard codes
  - Control notification ID fixes

Driver cleanups
  - Cleanups of PCI PM callbacks
  - Timer helper usages cleanups
  - Simplification (e.g. argument reduction) of many driver codes

HD-audio
  - Hotkey and LED support on HP laptops with Realtek codecs
  - Dock station support on HP laptops
  - Toshiba Satellite S50D fixup
  - Enhanced wallclock timestamp handling for HD-audio
  - Componentization to simplify the linkage between i915 and hd-audio
    drivers for Intel HDMI/DP

USB-audio
  - Akai MPC Element support
  - Enhanced timestamp handling

ASoC
  - Lots of refactoringin ASoC core, moving drivers to more data
    driven initialization and rationalizing a lot of DAPM usage
  - Much improved handling of CDCLK clocks on Samsung I2S controllers
  - Lots of driver specific cleanups and feature improvements
  - CODEC support for TI PCM514x and TLV320AIC3104 devices
  - Board support for Tegra systems with Realtek RT5677
  - New driver for Maxim max98357a
  - More enhancements / fixes for Intel SST driver

Others
  - Promotion of LINE6 driver from staging along with lots of rewrites
    and cleanups
  - DT support for old non-ASoC atmel driver
  - oxygen cleanups, XIO2001 init, Studio Evolution SE6x support
  - Emu8000 DRAM size detection fix on ISA(!!) AWE64 boards
  - A few more ak411x fixes for ice1724 boards
