wireless-drivers-next patches for 4.17

The biggest changes are the bluetooth related patches to the rsi
driver. It adds a new bluetooth driver which communicates directly
with the wireless driver and the interface is defined in
include/net/rsi_91x.h.

Major changes:

wl1251

* read the MAC address from the NVS file

rtlwifi

* enable mac80211 fast-tx support

mt76

* add capability to select tx/rx antennas

mt7601

* let mac80211 validate rx CCMP Packet Number (PN)

rsi

* bluetooth: add new btrsi driver

* btcoex support with the new btrsi driver

* fix an issue with the multicast queue

* fix IGTK handling

* fix some missing return value checks

* add support for a HW workaround for issues on some platforms

* a couple of fixes for channel-switch

* a few fixes for the aggregation handling code

brcmfmac

sound fixes for 4.16-rc7

Things look calming down, but people were still busy to plaster over
small holes:

- Two fixes to harden against races in aloop driver
- A correction of a long-standing bug in USB-audio UAC2 processing
  unit parser
- As usual suspects, HD-audio: a workaround for Coffee Lake
  controller and a few other device-specific fixes

All small and for stable.

core, i915, amdgpu, imx, sun4i, ast, tegra, vmwgfx fixes.

ACPI fixes for v4.16-rc7

 - Revert the recent change adding battery quirks for Asus GL502VSK
   and UX305LA as these quirks turn out to be inadequate and possibly
   premature (Daniel Drake).

 - Fix an off-by-one error in the resource allocation part of the
   watchdog driver based on the ACPI WDAT table (Takashi Iwai).

Main change is a patch to reject getfb call for multiplanar framebuffers,
then we have a couple of error path fixes on the sun4i driver. Still on that
driver there is a clk fix and finally a mmap offset fix on the udl driver.

Allwinner clock changes for 4.17

Our usual bunch of changes for the next merge window. The most significant
addition is the support of the H6 clock unit. Other than that, there's a
bunch of fixes for the video clocks on the H3 and H5, and some Kconfig
cleanup.

Allwinner H3/H5 changes for 4.17

Here is our usual bunch of changes to the common DTSI shared between arm
and arm64, and their associated device trees.

Even though the diffstat is quite big, it's been mostly just cleanups. The
big feature is that the HDMI is now suported on H3 and H5 boards.

Allwinner core changes for 4.17

Here is our bunch of changes for mach-sunxi for this release cycle. This is
basically only about bringing the SMP support to the A80, which has a bug
in hardware and cannot use PSCI like the other SoCs we have.

Allwinner arm64 DT changes for 4.17

We've had for this release a pretty good progress on the arm64 front as
well:
  - The A64 now has SPDIF support
  - The H6 is now supported (even though at an early stage)
  - The TERES-I laptop from Olimex has seen some early support as well

Allwinner DT changes for 4.17

There is a bunch of significant additions for this release cycle:
  - The A83t now has HDMI support
  - The A80 finally has SMP support (without PSCI, unfortunately)
  - The A80 has preliminary display support

And also:
  - a number of boards based on old (A10, A20) SoCs now have the HDMI
    support enabled.
  - The display frontend is enabled on the A33, allowing to use it for
    hardware display scaling
  - New boards: Olimex A20-SOM204 variants
