Power management updates for v4.16-rc1

 - Define a PM driver flag allowing drivers to request that their
   devices be left in suspend after system-wide transitions to the
   working state if possible and add support for it to the PCI bus
   type and the ACPI PM domain (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Make the PM core carry out optimizations for devices with driver
   PM flags set in some cases and make a few drivers set those flags
   (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Fix and clean up wrapper routines allowing runtime PM device
   callbacks to be re-used for system-wide PM, change the generic
   power domains (genpd) framework to stop using those routines
   incorrectly and fix up a driver depending on that behavior of
   genpd (Rafael Wysocki, Ulf Hansson, Geert Uytterhoeven).

 - Fix and clean up the PM core's device wakeup framework and
   re-factor system-wide PM core code related to device wakeup
   (Rafael Wysocki, Ulf Hansson, Brian Norris).

 - Make more x86-based systems use the Low Power Sleep S0 _DSM
   interface by default (to fix power button wakeup from
   suspend-to-idle on Surface Pro3) and add a kernel command line
   switch to tell it to ignore the system sleep blacklist in the
   ACPI core (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Fix a race condition related to cpufreq governor module removal
   and clean up the governor management code in the cpufreq core
   (Rafael Wysocki).

   power energy usage model in the CPU cooling thermal driver along
   with the corresponding documentation (Viresh Kumar).

   with a new DT binding related to that and clean up that driver
   somewhat (Dave Gerlach).

   frequency reporting, fix that driver to deal with non-continguous
   P-states correctly and clean it up (Gautham Shenoy, Shilpasri Bhat).

   and clean up that driver somewhat (Srinivas Pandruvada).

   from the PSCI driver and drop dependency on arm_big_little from
   the SCPI cpufreq driver (Sudeep Holla).

 - Add support for system-wide suspend and resume to the RAPL power
   capping driver and drop a redundant semicolon from it (Zhen Han,
   Luis de Bethencourt).

 - Make SPI domain validation (in the SCSI SPI transport driver) and
   system-wide suspend mutually exclusive as they rely on the same
   underlying mechanism and cannot be carried out at the same time
   (Bart Van Assche).

 - Fix the computation of the amount of memory to preallocate in the
   hibernation core and clean up one function in there (Rainer Fiebig,
   Kyungsik Lee).

   used with power domains and clean up one function in it (Viresh
   Kumar, Wei Yongjun).

   Sergey Senozhatsky, gaurav jindal).

 - Make it easier to disable PM via Kconfig (Mark Brown).

 - Clean up the cpupower and intel_pstate_tracer utilities (Doug
   Smythies, Laura Abbott).

sound updates for 4.16-rc1

The major changes in the core API side in this cycle are the still
on-going ASoC componentization works.  Other than that, only few small
changes such as 20bit PCM format support are found.

Meanwhile the rest majority of changes are for ASoC drivers:
- Large cleanups of some of the TI CODEC drivers
- Continued work on Intel ASoC stuff for new quirks, ACPI GPIO
  handling, Kconfigs and lots of cleanups
- Refactoring of the Freescale SSI driver, as preliminary work for the
  upcoming changes
- Work on ST DFSDM driver, including the required IIO patches
- New drivers for Allwinner A83T, Maxim MAX89373, SocioNext UiniPhier
  EVEA Tempo Semiconductor TSCS42xx and TI PCM816x, TAS5722 and TAS6424
  devices
- Removal of dead codes for SN95031 and board drivers

Last but not least, a few HD-audio and USB-audio quirks are included
as usual, too.
