main drm pull for v4.13

netlink validation fixes for nl80211

This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.13 series:

Core:
- Export add/remove for lookup tables so that modules can export GPIO
  descriptor tables.
- Handle GPIO sleep states: it is now possible to flag that a GPIO line
  may loose its state during suspend/resume of the system to save
  power. This is used in the Wolfson Micro Arizona driver.
- ACPI-based GPIO was tightened up a lot around the edges.
- Use bitmap_fill() to speed up a loop.

New drivers:
- Exar XRA1403 SPI-based GPIO.
- MVEBU driver now supports Armada 7K and 8K.
- LP87565 PMIC GPIO.
- Renesas R-CAR R8A7743 (RZ/G1M).
- The new IOT2040 8250 serial/GPIO also comes in through this
  changeset.

Substantial driver changes:
- Seriously fix the Exar 8250 GPIO portions to work.
- The MCP23S08 was moved out to a pin control driver.
- Convert MEVEBU to use regmap for register access.
- Drop Vulcan support from the Broadcom driver.
- Serious cleanup and improvement of the mockup driver, giving us a
  better test coverage.

Misc:
- Lots of janitorial clean up.
- A bunch of documentation fixes.

DeviceTree for 4.13:

- vsprintf format specifier %pOF for device_node's. This will enable us
  to stop storing the full node names. Conversion of users will happen
  next cycle.

- Update documentation to point to DT specification instead of ePAPR.

- Split out graph and property functions to a separate file.

- New of-graph functions for ALSA

- Add vendor prefixes for RISC-V, Linksys, iWave Systems, Roofull,
  Itead, and BananaPi.

- Improve dtx_diff utility filename printing.

This is the 4.11.9 stable release

This is the 4.9.36 stable release

This is the 4.4.76 stable release

media updates for v4.13-rc1

This is the 3.18.60 stable release

sound updates for 4.13-rc1

This development cycle resulted in a fair amount of changes in both
core and driver sides.  The most significant change in ALSA core is
about PCM.  Also the support of of-graph card and the new DAPM widget
for DSP are noteworthy changes in ASoC core.  And there're lots of
small changes splat over the tree, as you can see in diffstat.

Below are a few highlights:

ALSA core:
- Removal of set_fs() hackery from PCM core stuff, and the code
  reorganization / optimization thereafter
- Improved support of PCM ack ops, and a new ABI for improved
  control/status mmap handling
- Lots of constifications in various codes

ASoC core:
- The support of of-graph card, which may work as a better generic
  device for a replacement of simple-card
- New widget types intended mainly for use with DSPs

ASoC drivers:
- New drivers for Allwinner V3s SoCs
- Ensonic ES8316 codec support
- More Intel SKL and KBL works
- More device support for Intel SST Atom (mostly for cheap tablets and
  2-in-1 devices)
- Support for Rockchip PDM controllers
- Support for STM32 I2S and S/PDIF controllers
- Support for ZTE AUD96P22 codecs

HD-audio:
- Support of new Realtek codecs (ALC215/ALC285/ALC289), more quirks
  for HP and Dell machines
- A few more fixes for i915 component binding

Note that of-graph change may bring the conflicts with a later pull
request of devicetree, as currently found in linux-next.

regulator: Updates for v4.13

A quiet release for the regulator API, a series of fairly small fixes
plus one new feature and a few new drivers:

 - Support for regulators with different settling times for rising and
   falling voltage changes.
 - New drivers for Allwinner AXP803, HiSilicon HI6421V530 and TI
   LP87565.

ACPI updates for v4.13-rc1

 - Update the ACPICA code in the kernel to upstream revision
   revision 20170531 (which covers all of the new material from
   ACPI 6.2) including:
   * Support for the PinFunction(), PinConfig(), PinGroup(),
     PinGroupFunction(), and PinGroupConfig() resource descriptors
     (Mika Westerberg).
   * Support for new subtables in HEST and SRAT, new notify value
     for HEST, header support for TPM2 table changes, and BGRT
     Status field update (Bob Moore).
   * Support for new PCCT subtables (David Box).
   * Support for _LSI, _LSR, _LSW, and _HMA as predefined methods
     (Erik Schmauss).
   * Support for the new WSMT, HMAT, and PPTT tables (Lv Zheng).
   * New UUID values for Processor Properties (Bob Moore).
   * New notify values for memory attributes and graceful shutdown
     (Bob Moore).
   * Fix related to the PCAT_COMPAT MADT flag (Janosch Hildebrand).
   * Resource to AML conversion fix for resources containing GPIOs
     (Mika Westerberg).
   * Disassembler-related updates (Bob Moore, David Box, Erik
     Schmauss).
   * Assorted fixes and cleanups (Bob Moore, Erik Schmauss, Lv Zheng,
     Cao Jin).

 - Modify ACPICA to always use designated initializers for function
   pointer structures to make the structure layout randomization GCC
   plugin work with it (Kees Cook).

 - Update the tables configfs interface to unload SSDTs on configfs
   entry removal (Jan Kiszka).

 - Add support for the GPI1 regulator to the xpower PMIC Operation
   Region handler (Hans de Goede).

 - Fix ACPI EC issues related to conflicting EC definitions in the
   ECDT and in the ACPI namespace (Lv Zheng, Carlo Caione, Chris
   Chiu).

 - Fix an interrupt storm issue in the EC driver and make its debug
   output work with dynamic debug as expected (Lv Zheng).

 - Add ACPI backlight quirk for Dell Precision 7510 (Shih-Yuan Lee).

 - Fix whitespace in pr_fmt() to align log entries properly in some
   places in the ACPI subsystem (Vincent Legoll).

Power management updates for v4.13-rc1

 - Rework suspend-to-idle to allow it to take wakeup events signaled
   by the EC into account on ACPI-based platforms in order to properly
   support power button wakeup from suspend-to-idle on recent Dell
   laptops (Rafael Wysocki).

   That includes the core suspend-to-idle code rework, support for
   the Low Power S0 _DSM interface, and support for the ACPI INT0002
   Virtual GPIO device from Hans de Goede (required for USB keyboard
   wakeup from suspend-to-idle to work on some machines).

 - Stop trying to export the current CPU frequency via /proc/cpuinfo
   on x86 as that is inaccurate and confusing (Len Brown).

 - Rework the way in which the current CPU frequency is exported by
   the kernel (over the cpufreq sysfs interface) on x86 systems with
   the APERF and MPERF registers by always using values read from
   these registers, when available, to compute the current frequency
   regardless of which cpufreq driver is in use (Len Brown).

 - Rework the PCI/ACPI device wakeup infrastructure to remove the
   questionable and artificial distinction between "devices that
   can wake up the system from sleep states" and "devices that can
   generate wakeup signals in the working state" from it, which
   allows the code to be simplified quite a bit (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Fix the wakeup IRQ framework by making it use SRCU instead of
   RCU which doesn't allow sleeping in the read-side critical
   sections, but which in turn is expected to be allowed by the
   IRQ bus locking infrastructure (Thomas Gleixner).

 - Modify some computations in the intel_pstate driver to avoid
   rounding errors resulting from them (Srinivas Pandruvada).

 - Reduce the overhead of the intel_pstate driver in the HWP
   (hardware-managed P-states) mode and when the "performance"
   P-state selection algorithm is in use by making it avoid
   registering scheduler callbacks in those cases (Len Brown).

 - Rework the energy_performance_preference sysfs knob in
   intel_pstate by changing the values that correspond to
   different symbolic hint names used by it (Len Brown).

 - Make it possible to use more than one cpuidle driver at the same
   time on ARM (Daniel Lezcano).

 - Make it possible to prevent the cpuidle menu governor from using
   the 0 state by disabling it via sysfs (Nicholas Piggin).

 - Add support for FFH (Fixed Functional Hardware) MWAIT in ACPI C1
   on AMD systems (Yazen Ghannam).

 - Make the CPPC cpufreq driver take the lowest nonlinear performance
   information into account (Prashanth Prakash).

 - Add support for hi3660 to the cpufreq-dt driver, fix the
   imx6q driver and clean up the sfi, exynos5440 and intel_pstate
   drivers (Colin Ian King, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Octavian Purdila,
   Rafael Wysocki, Tao Wang).

 - Fix a few minor issues in the generic power domains (genpd)
   framework and clean it up somewhat (Krzysztof Kozlowski,
   Mikko Perttunen, Viresh Kumar).

 - Fix a couple of minor issues in the operating performance points
   (OPP) framework and clean it up somewhat (Viresh Kumar).

 - Fix a CONFIG dependency in the hibernation core and clean it up
   slightly (Balbir Singh, Arvind Yadav, BaoJun Luo).

 - Add rk3228 support to the rockchip-io adaptive voltage scaling
   (AVS) driver (David Wu).

 - Fix an incorrect bit shift operation in the RAPL power capping
   driver (Adam Lessnau).

 - Add support for the EPP field in the HWP (hardware managed
   P-states) control register, HWP.EPP, to the x86_energy_perf_policy
   tool and update msr-index.h with HWP.EPP values (Len Brown).

 - Fix some minor issues in the turbostat tool (Len Brown).

 - Add support for AMD family 0x17 CPUs to the cpupower tool and fix
   a minor issue in it (Sherry Hurwitz).

 - Assorted cleanups, mostly related to the constification of some
   data structures (Arvind Yadav, Joe Perches, Kees Cook, Krzysztof
   Kozlowski).

ASoC: Updates for v4.13

The big news with this release is the of-graph card, this provides a
replacement for simple-card that is much more flexibile and scalable,
allowing many more systems to use a generic sound card than was possible
before:

 - The of-graph card, finally merged after a long and dedicated effort
   by Morimoto-san.
 - New widget types intended mainly for use with DSPs.
 - New drivers for Allwinner V3s SoCs, Ensonic ES8316, several classes
   of x86 machine, Rockchip PDM controllers, STM32 I2S and S/PDIF
   controllers and ZTE AUD96P22 CODECs.
