Linux 5.0

wireless-drivers-next patches for 5.1

Last set of patches. A new hardware support for mt76 otherwise quite
normal.

Major changes:

mt76

* add driver for MT7603E/MT7628

ath10k

* more preparation for SDIO support

wil6210

* support up to 20 stations in AP mode

sound updates for 5.1

We had again a busy development cycle with many new drivers as well as
lots of core improvements / cleanups.  Let's go for highlights:

ALSA core:
- PCM locking scheme was refactored for reducing a global rwlock
- PCM suspend is handled in the device type PM ops now; lots of
  explicit calls were reduced by this action
- Cleanups about PCM buffer preallocation calls
- Kill NULL device object in memory allocations
- Lots of procfs API cleanups

ASoC core:
- Support for only powering up channels that are actively being used
- Cleanups / fixes of topology API

ASoC drivers:
- MediaTek BTCVSD for a Bluetooth radio chip, which is the first such
  driver we've had upstream!
- Quite a few improvements to simplify the generic card drivers,
  especially the merge of the SCU cards into the main generic drivers
- Lots of fixes for probing on Intel systems to follow more standard
  styles
- A big refresh and cleanup of the Samsung drivers
- New drivers: Asahi Kasei Microdevices AK4497, Cirrus Logic CS4341
  and CS35L26, Google ChromeOS embedded controllers, Ingenic JZ4725B,
  MediaTek BTCVSD, MT8183 and MT6358, NXP MICFIL, Rockchip RK3328,
  Spreadtrum DMA controllers, Qualcomm WCD9335, Xilinx S/PDIF and PCM
  formatters

ALSA drivers:
- Improvements of Tegra HD-audio controller driver for supporting new
  chips
- HD-audio codec quirks for ALC294 S4 resume, ASUS laptop, Chrome
  headset button support and Dell workstations
- Improved DSD support on USB-audio
- Quirk for MOTU MicroBook II USB-audio
- Support for Fireface UCX support and Solid State Logic Duende
  Classic/Mini

ASoC: More changes for v5.1

Another batch of changes for ASoC, no big core changes - it's mainly
small fixes and improvements for individual drivers.

 - A big refresh and cleanup of the Samsung drivers, fixing a number of
   issues which allow the driver to be used with a wider range of
   userspaces.
 - Fixes for the Intel drivers to make them more standard so less likely
   to get bitten by core issues.
 - New driver for Cirrus Logic CS35L26.

wireless-drivers-next patches for 5.1

Most likely the last set of patches for 5.1. WPA3 support to ath10k
and qtnfmac. FTM support to iwlwifi and ath10k. And of course other
new features and bugfixes.

wireless-drivers was merged due to dependency in mt76.

Major changes:

iwlwifi

* HE radiotap

* FTM (Fine Timing Measurement) initiator and responder implementation

* bump supported firmware API to 46

* VHT extended NSS support

* new PCI IDs for 9260 and 22000 series

  interface from HL3.1 and used in recent HL2.0 branch firmware
  releases

* support WPA3 with WCN3990

* support for mac80211 airtime fairness based on transmit rate
  estimation, the firmware needs to support WMI_SERVICE_PEER_STATS to
  enable this

* report transmit airtime to mac80211 with firmwares having
  WMI_SERVICE_REPORT_AIRTIME feature, this to have more accurate
  airtime fairness based on real transmit time (instead of just
  estimated from transmit rate)

* support Fine Timing Measurement (FTM) responder role

* add dynamic VLAN support with firmware having WMI_SERVICE_PER_PACKET_SW_ENCRYPT

* switch to use SPDX license identifiers

ath

* add new country codes for US

brcmfmac

* support monitor frames with the hardware/ucode header

qtnfmac

* enable WPA3 SAE and OWE support

mt76

* beacon support for USB devices (mesh+ad-hoc only)

rtlwifi

* convert to use SPDX license identifiers

libertas_tf

* get the MAC address before registering the device
