ASoC: Updates for v4.17

This is a *very* big release for ASoC.  Not much change in the core but
there s the transition of all the individual drivers over to components
which is intended to support further core work.  The goal is to make it
easier to do further core work by removing the need to special case all
the different driver classes in the core, many of the devices end up
being used in multiple roles in modern systems.

We also have quite a lot of new drivers added this month of all kinds,
quite a few for simple devices but also some more advanced ones with
more substantial code.

 - The biggest thing is the huge series from Morimoto-san which
   converted everything over to components.  This is a huge change by
   code volume but was fairly mechanical
 - Many fixes for some of the Realtek based Baytrail systems covering
   both the CODECs and the CPUs, contributed by Hans de Goode.
 - Lots of cleanups for Samsung based Odroid systems from Sylwester
   Nawrocki.
 - The Freescale SSI driver also got a lot of cleanups from Nicolin
   Chen.
 - The Blackfin drivers have been removed as part of the removal of the
   architecture.
 - New drivers for AKM AK4458 and AK5558, several AMD based machines,
   several Intel based machines, Maxim MAX9759, Motorola CPCAP,
   Socionext Uniphier SoCs, and TI PCM1789 and TDA7419

Power management updates for 4.17-rc1

 - Modify the cpuidle poll state implementation to prevent CPUs from
   staying in the loop in there for excessive times (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Add Intel Cannon Lake chips support to the RAPL power capping
   driver (Joe Konno).

   PM core (Lukas Wunner).

 - Avoid reconfiguring GPEs on suspend-to-idle in the ACPI system
   suspend code (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Allow devices to be put into deeper low-power states via ACPI
   if both _SxD and _SxW are missing (Daniel Drake).

 - Reorganize the core ACPI suspend-to-idle wakeup code to avoid a
   keyboard wakeup issue on Asus UX331UA (Chris Chiu).

 - Prevent the PCMCIA library code from aborting suspend-to-idle due
   to noirq suspend failures resulting from incorrect assumptions
   (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Add coupled cpuidle supprt to the Exynos3250 platform (Marek
   Szyprowski).

 - Add new sysfs file to make it easier to specify the image storage
   location during hibernation (Mario Limonciello).

 - Add sysfs files for collecting suspend-to-idle usage and time
   statistics for CPU idle states (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Update the pm-graph utilities (Todd Brandt).

 - Reduce the kernel log noise related to reporting Low-power Idle
   constraings by the ACPI system suspend code (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Make it easier to distinguish dedicated wakeup IRQs in the
   /proc/interrupts output (Tony Lindgren).

 - Add the frequency table validation in cpufreq to the core and
   drop it from a number of cpufreq drivers (Viresh Kumar).

 - Drop "cooling-{min|max}-level" for CPU nodes from a couple of
   DT bindings (Viresh Kumar).

 - Clean up the CPU online error code path in the cpufreq core
   (Viresh Kumar).

 - Fix assorted issues in the SCPI, CPPC, mediatek and tegra186
   cpufreq drivers (Arnd Bergmann, Chunyu Hu, George Cherian,
   Viresh Kumar).

 - Drop memory allocation error messages from a few places in
   cpufreq and cpuildle drivers (Markus Elfring).

ACPI updates for 4.17-rc1

 - Update the in-kernel ACPICA code to upstream revision 20180313
   including:
   * Module-level AML code handling fixes and simplifications (Bob
     Moore, Erik Schmauss).
   * Fixes and cleanups related to messaging (Bob Moore).
   * Events handling fixes related to disabling and enabling GPEs
     (Erik Schmauss).
   * Introduction of SPDX license identifiers and removal of license
     boilerplate in multiple files (Erik Schmauss).
   * Assorted fixes and cleanups (Bob Moore, Erik Schmauss, Hans
     de Goede, Seunghun Han).

 - Add new basic driver for the ACPI Time and Alarm Device (Rafael
   Wysocki).

 - Modify the ACPI battery driver to support battery thresholds on
   Lenovo ThinkPads (Ognjen Galic, Colin Ian King).

 - Avoid reporting battery capacity over 100 in the ACPI battery
   driver in some cases (Laszlo Toth).

 - Make the kernel recognize an OEM _OSI string from Dell to avoid
   power management issues with NVidia GPUs in Dell platforms (Alex
   Hung).

 - Make the PCI IRQ management code handle missing _PRS cleanly (Alex
   Hung).

 - Fix uevent notifications related to device hotplut (Lee, Chun-Yi).

 - Prevent the ACPI PAD driver from leaking memory (Lenny Szubowicz).

 - Update the ACPI CPPC library code to include subspace IDs in the
   kernel messages logged by it (George Cherian).

 - Add backlight quirk for Samsung 670Z5E (Hans de Goede).

 - Add the NFIT and HMAT tables to the list of ACPI tables that can
   be overridden via initrd (Dan Williams).

 - Fix and clean up some ACPI documentation and Kconfig help language
   (Aishwarya Pant, Randy Dunlap).

 - Replace license boilerplate with an SPDX license ID in the ACPI
   PMIC operation region handling code (Rajmohan Mani).

This is the 4.4.126 stable release

This is the 4.9.92 stable release

This is the 4.14.32 stable release

This is the 4.15.15 stable release

We have a fair number of patches, but many of them are from the
first bullet here:
 * EAPoL-over-nl80211 from Denis - this will let us fix
   some long-standing issues with bridging, races with
   encryption and more
 * DFS offload support from the qtnfmac folks
 * regulatory database changes for the new ETSI adaptivity
   requirements
 * various other fixes and small enhancements

wireless-drivers-next patches for 4.17

Smaller new features to various drivers but nothing really out of
ordinary.

Major changes:

ath10k

* enable chip temperature measurement for QCA6174/QCA9377

* add firmware memory dump for QCA9984

* enable buffer STA on TDLS link for QCA6174

* support different beacon internals in multiple interface scenario
  for QCA988X/QCA99X0/QCA9984/QCA4019

sound fixes for 4.16-final

Very small fixes (all one-liners) at this time.
One fix is for a PCM core stuff to correct the mmap behavior on
non-x86.  It doesn't show on most machines but mostly only for
exotic non-interleaved formats.
