media updates for v4.12-rc1

drm docs pointer to freedesktop code of conduct.

extra pull request because I missed tegra.

This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.12 kernel cycle:

Core changes

- Return NULL from gpiod_get_optional() when GPIOLIB is disabled.
  This was a much discussed change. It affects use cases where people
  write drivers that might or might not be using GPIO resources.
  I have decided that this is the lesser evil right now.

- Make gpiod_count() behave consistently across different hardware
  descriptions.

- Fix the syntax around open drain/open source to not infer active
  high/low semantics.

New drivers

- A new single-register fixed-direction framework driver for hardware
  that have lines controlled by a single register that just work in
  one direction (out or in), including IRQ support.

- Support the Fintek F71889A GPIO SuperIO controller.

- Support the National NI 169445 MMIO GPIO.

- Support for the X-Gene derivative of the DWC GPIO controller

- Support for the Rohm BD9571MWV-M PMIC GPIO controller.

- Refactor the Gemini GPIO driver to a generic Faraday FTGPIO driver
  and replace both the Gemini and the Moxa ART custom drivers with
  this driver.

Driver improvements

- A whole slew of drivers have their spinlocks chaned to raw spinlocks
  as they provide irqchips, and thus we are progressing on realtime
  compliance.

- Use devm_irq_alloc_descs() in a slew of drivers, getting managed
  resources.

- Support for the embedded PWM controller inside the MVEBU driver.

- Debounce, open source and open drain support for the Aspeed driver.

- Misc smaller fixes like spelling and syntax and whatnot.

This is the 4.10.14 stable release

This is the 4.9.26 stable release

regulator: Updates for v4.12

Quite a lot going on with the regulator API for this release, much more
in the core than in the drivers for a change:

 - Fixes for voltage change propagation through dumb power switches.
 - A notification when regulators are enabled.
 - A new settling time property for regulators where the time taken to
   move to a new voltage is not related to the size of the change.
 - Some reorganization of the Arizona drivers in preparation for sharing
   the code with the next generation devices they've been integrated
   with.
 - Support for newer Freescale chips in the Anatop regulator.
 - A new driver for voltage controlled regulators to cope with some
   exciting ChromeOS hardware designs.
 - Support for Rohm BD9571MWV-M and TI TPS65132.

This is the 4.4.66 stable release

sound updates for 4.12-rc1

It was a relatively calm development cycle, and no scaring changes are
seen in both core and driver sides.  Here are some highlights:

ASoC:
- A new API for hooking up jacks more generically and easily
- Card longname is set based on DMI for a unique UCM profile
- Lots of Intel driver fixes: Atom, Broxton, Skylake and newer chips
- New drivers for Cirrus CS35L35, DIO DIO2125, Everest ES7132,
  HiSilicon hi6210, Maxim MAX98927, MT2701 systems with WM8960, Nuvoton
  NAU8824, Odroid systems, ST STM32 SAI controllers and x86 systems with
  DA7213

HD-audio:
- Many new quirks to support headset for various devices (mostly ASUS
  ones) as usual
- Support for dual codecs on some Gigabyte mobos and Lenovo laptop
- Improvement on PCM position reporting for Skylake and newer

FireWire:
- New drivers for MOTU and RME Fireface series
- Updates for Digidesign Digi00x and TASCAM series
- Support for tracepoints

Others:
- USB-audio: improved support for quirk_alias option
- Cleanups, constification allover the places

Somehow not much these 2 weeks ...

- (hopefully) stability fixes for byt/bsw gt wake (Chris)
- tighten up requests (especially restarts) checks and debug tracking
  (Chris)
- unify context handling more for gen5+ (Chris+Joonas)
- oddball bugfixes as usual

ASoC: Updates for v4.12

A quiet release for the core, but lots of new drivers this time around:

 - A new, generalized, API for hooking up jacks which makes it easier to
   write generic machine drivers for simple cases.
 - Continuing fixes for issues with the x86 CPU drivers.
 - New drivers for Cirrus CS35L35, DIO DIO2125, Everest ES7132,
   HiSilicon hi6210, Maxim MAX98927, MT2701 systems with WM8960, Nuvoton
   NAU8824, Odroid systems, ST STM32 SAI controllers and x86 systems with
   DA7213

Generic device properties framework updates for v4.12-rc1

 - Extend the ACPI _DSD properties code and the generic device
   properties framework to support the concept of remote endponts
   (Mika Westerberg, Sakari Ailus).

 - Document the support for ports and endpoints in _DSD properties
   and extend the generic device properties framework to make it
   more suitable for the handling of ports and endpoints (Sakari
   Ailus).

ACPI updates for v4.12-rc1

 - Update the core device enumeration code to make it more internally
   consistent and robust and drop the force_remove sysfs attribute
   that could be used to tell it to ignore errors on device
   hot-removal which was dangerous in general and no real and
   still relevant use cases for it could be found (Rafael Wysocki,
   Michal Hocko).

 - Make the core device enumeration code use _PXM to associate
   platform devices created by it with specific NUMA nodes (Shanker
   Donthineni).

 - Extend the CPPC library by adding more sysfs entries for
   performance capabilities to it and making it use the lowest
   nonlinear performance parameter (Prashanth Prakash).

 - Make the CPU online more consistent with CPU initialization in
   the ACPI processor driver (Prashanth Prakash).

 - Update the AC and battery drivers to help them avoid attaching to
   devices that cannot be handled by them and update the axp288_charger
   power supply driver to work correctly on ACPI systems without the
   INT3496 device (Hans de Goede).

 - Add an ACPI operation region driver for the Intel CHT Whiskey Cove
   PMIC and update the xpower operation region driver to work without
   IIO which isn't really necessary for it to work (Hans de Goede).

 - Add a new entry for Dell Inspiron 7537 to the _REV quirk blacklist
   (Kai Heng Feng).

 - Make the code in the ACPI video driver easier to follow by adding
   symbols and comments to it (Dmitry Frank).

 - Update ACPI documentation and drop a function that has no users
   from the tables-handling code (Cao jin, Baoquan He).

Power management updates for v4.12-rc1

 - Rework the intel_pstate driver's sysfs interface to make it
   more straightforward and more intuitive (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Make intel_pstate support all processors which advertise HWP
   (hardware-managed P-states) to the kernel in all operation modes
   and make it use the load-based P-state selection algorithm on a
   wider range of systems in the active mode (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Add cpufreq driver for Tegra186 (Mikko Perttunen).

 - Add support for Gemini Lake SoCs to intel_pstate (David Box).

 - Add support for MT8176 and MT817x to the Mediatek cpufreq driver
   and clean up that driver a bit (Daniel Kurtz).

 - Clean up intel_pstate and optimize it slightly (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Update the schedutil cpufreq governor, mostly to fix a couple of
   issues with it related to specific workloads, and rework its sysfs
   tunable and initialization a bit (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar).

 - Fix minor issues in the imx6q, dbx500 and qoriq cpufreq drivers
   (Christophe Jaillet, Irina Tirdea, Leonard Crestez, Viresh Kumar,
   YuanTian Tang).

 - Add file patterns for cpufreq DT bindings to MAINTAINERS (Geert
   Uytterhoeven).

 - Add support for "always on" power domains to the genpd (generic
   power domains) framework and clean up that code somewhat (Ulf
   Hansson, Lina Iyer, Viresh Kumar).

 - Fix minor issues in the powernv cpuidle driver and clean it up
   (Anton Blanchard, Gautham Shenoy).

 - Move the AnalyzeSuspend utility under tools/power/pm-graph/ and
   add an analogous boot-profiling utility called AnalyzeBoot to it
   (Todd Brandt).

 - Add rk3328 support to the rockchip-io AVS (Adaptive Voltage
   Scaling) driver (David Wu).

 - Fix minor issues in the cpuidle core, the intel_pstate_tracer
   utility, the devfreq framework and the PM core documentation
   (Chanwoo Choi, Doug Smythies, Johan Hovold, Marcin Nowakowski).
