sound fixes for 4.2-final

Here are a small collecton of sound fix patches.  The most significant
one is the disablement of newly introduced topology API.  Its ABI
couldn't be stabilized enough, so we decided to delay for 4.3 in the
end.  Other than that, all oneliner fixes: a USB-audio runtime PM fix
and a couple of HD-audio quirks.

ASoC: Disable topology support for v4.2

The topology code merged in the v4.2 merge window introduced a new ABI
which was believed to be suitable for use but subsequently additional
work by the developers of this feature have revealed some problems that
need to be addressed.  In order to allow this to be done without having
to support the initial ABI add Kconfig to disable the build and also add
some #error statements to the UAPI header so users can't use them.

Major changes:

ath10k:

* add support for qca99x0 family of devices
* improve performance of tx_lock
* add support for raw mode (802.11 frame format) and software crypto
  engine enabled via a module parameter

ath9k:

* add fast-xmit support

wil6210:

* implement TSO support
* support bootloader v1 and onwards

iwlwifi:

* Deprecate -10.ucode
* Clean ups towards multiple Rx queues
* Add support for longer CMD IDs. This will be required by new
  firmwares since we are getting close to the u8 limit.
* bugfixes for the D0i3 power state
* Add basic support for FTM
* polish the Miracast operation
* fix a few power consumption issues
* scan cleanup
* fixes for D0i3 system state
* add paging for devices that support it
* add again the new RBD allocation model
* add more options to the firmware debug system
* add support for frag SKBs in Tx

media fixes for v4.2-rc8

This is the 3.14.51 stable release

This is the 4.1.6 stable release

This is the 3.10.87 stable release

Linux 4.2-rc7

Another pull request for the next cycle, this time with quite
a bit of content:
 * mesh fixes/improvements from Alexis, Bob, Chun-Yeow and Jesse
 * TDLS higher bandwidth support (Arik)
 * OCB fixes from Bertold Van den Bergh
 * suspend/resume fixes from Eliad
 * dynamic SMPS support for minstrel-HT (Krishna Chaitanya)
 * VHT bitrate mask support (Lorenzo Bianconi)
 * better regulatory support for 5/10 MHz channels (Matthias May)
 * basic support for MU-MIMO to avoid the multi-vif issue (Sara Sharon)
along with a number of other cleanups.

We have a single bugfix for an invalid memory read.

Second set of new device support, features and cleanup for the 4.3 cycle.
Take 2 also includes a fix set that was too late for the 4.2 cycle.

As we had a lot of tools and docs work in this set, I have broken those
out into their own categories in this description.

Fixes from the pull request '4th set of IIO fixes for the 4.2 cycle'.
* Poll functions for both event chardev and the buffer one were returning
  negative error codes (via a positive value).
* A recent change to lsiio adding some error handling that was wrong and
  stopped the tool working.
* bmg160 was missing some dependencies in Kconfig
* berlin2-adc had a misshandled register (wrote a value rather than a bitmap)

New device support
* TI opt3001 light sensor
* TXC PA12 ALS and proximity sensor.
* mcp3301 ADC support (in mcp320x driver)
* ST lsm303agr accelerometer and magnetometer drivers (plus some st-sensors
  common support to allow different WHOAMI register addresses, devices with
  fixed scale and allow interrupt equiped magnetometers).
* ADIS16305, ADIS16367, ADIS16445IMUs (in the adis16400 driver)
* ADIS16266 gyro (in the adis16260 driver)
* ADIS16137 gyro (in the adis16136 driver)

New functionality
* mmc35240 DT bindings.
* Inverse unit conversion macros to aid handing of values written to sysfs
  attributes.

Core cleanup
* Forward declaration of struct iio_trigger to avoid a compile warning.

Driver cleanup / fixes
* mxs-lradc
  - Clarify which parts are supported.
  - Fix spelling erorrs.
  - Missing/extra includes
  - reorder includes
  - add datasheet name listings for all usable channels (to allow them
    to be bound by name from consumer drivers)
* acpi-als - add some function prefixes as per general iio style.
* bmc150_magn - replace a magic value with the existing define.
* vf610 - determine possible sample frequencies taking into account the
  electrical characteristics (defining a minimum sample time)
* dht11
  - whitespace
  - additional docs
  - avoid mulitple assignments in one line
  - Use the new funciton ktime_get_resolution_ns to cleanup a nasty trick
    previously used for timing.
* Fix all drivers that consider 0 a valid IRQ for historical reasons.
* Export I2C module alias info where previously missing (to allow autoprobing)
* Export OF module alias info where previously missing.
* mmc35240 - switch some variables into arrays to improve readability.
* mlx90614 - define some magic numbers for readability.
* bmc150_magn
  - expand area locked by a mutex to cover all the use of the
    data->buffer.
  - use descriptive naming for a mask instead of a magic value.
* berin2-adc
  - pass up an error code rather that a generic error
  - constify the iio_chan_spec
  - some other little tidy ups.
* stk8312
  - fix a dependency on triggered buffers in kconfig
  - add a check for invalid attribute values
  - improve error handling by returning error codes where possible and
    return immediately where relevant
  - rework macro defs to use GENMASK etc
  - change some variable types to reduce unnecessary casting
  - clean up code style
  - drop a local buffer copy for bulk reads and use the one in data->buffer
     instead.
* adis16400 - the adis16448 gyroscope scale was wrong.
* adis16480 - some more wrong scales for various parts.
* adis16300 - has an undocumented product id and serial number registers so
  use them.
* iio_simple_dummy - fix some wrong code indentation.
* bmc150-accel - use the chip ID to detect the chip present rather than
  verifying the expected part was there.  This was in response to a wrong
  ACPI entry on the WinBook TW100.
* mma8452
  - fix _get_hp_filter_index
  - drop a double include
  - pass up an error code rather than rewriting it
  - range check input values to attribute writes
  - register defs tidy up using GENMASK and reordering them to be easier to
    follow.
  - various coding style cleanups
  - put the Kconfig entry in the write place (alphabetically).

Tools related
* Tools cleanup - drop an explicity NULL comparison, some unnecessary braces,
  use the ARRAY_SIZE macro, send error messages to stderr instead of dropping
  them in the middle of normal output.
* Fix tools to allow that scale and offset attributes are optional.
* More tools fixes including allowing true 32bit data (previously an overflow
  prevented more than 31bits)
* Drop a stray header guard that ended up in a c file.
* Make calc_digits static as it isn't exported or in the header.
* Set ci_array pointer to NULL after free as a protection against non safe
  usage of the tools core code.  Also convert a double pointer to a single
  one as the extra level of indirection was unnecessary.

Docs
* DocBook introduction by Daniel Baluta.  Glad we are beginning to
  draw together some more introductory docs to suplement the various
  tools / examples.
* Drop bytes_per_datum sysfs attribute docs as it no longer exists.
* A whole load of missing / fixing of kernel-doc for the core of IIO.
* Document the trigger name sysfs attribute in the ABI docs.
* Minor typos in the ABI docs related to power down modes.
