This is the 4.8.8 stable release

This is the 4.4.32 stable release

Third set of IIO new device support, features and cleanup for the 4.10 cycle.

Includes Peter Rosin's interesting drivers for a comparator. First complex
use we have had with an analog front end made from discrete components.

Brian Masney's work on moving the tsl2583 driver out of staging also
feature extensively!

New Drivers
* DAC based on a digital potentiometer
  - New driver for the use of a dpot as a DAC. Includes bindings and Axentia
  entry in vendor prefixes.
* Envelope detector baed on DAC and a comparator including device tree
  bindings.

Staging Graduation
* tsl2583.

Core new features
- Core provision for _available attributes.   This one had been stalled for
  a long time until Peter picked it up and ran with it!
- In kernel interface helpers to retrieve available info from channels.

Driver new features
* mcp4531
  - Add range of available raw values (used for the dpot dac driver).

Driver cleanups and fixes for issues introduced
* ad7766
  - Testing the wrong variable following devm_regulator_bulk_get introduced
  with the driver earlier in this cycle.
* ad9832
  - Fix a wrong ordering in the probe introduced in the previous set of
    patches.  A use before allocation bug.
* cros_ec_sensors
  - Testing for an error in a u8 will never work.
* mpu3050
  - Remove duplicate initializer for the module owner.
  - Add missing i2c dependency.
  - Inform the i2c mux core how it is used - step one in implifying device
  tree bindings.
* st-sensors
  - Get rid of large number of uninformative defines in favour of putting the
  constants where they are relevant. It is clear what they are from where
  they are used.
* tsl2583
  - Fix unused function warning when CONFIG_PM disabled and remove the
  ifdefs in favour of __maybe_unused.
  - Refactor taos_chip_on  to only read relevant registers.
  - Make sure calibscale and integration time are being set.
  - Verify chip is in ready to be used before calibration.
  - Remove some repeated checks for chip status (it's protected by a mutex
  so can't change until it's released)
  - Change current state storage from a tristate enum to a boolean seeing as
  only two values are actually used now.
  - Drop a redundant write to the control regiser in taos_probe (it's a noop)
  - Drop the FSF mailing address.
  - Clean up logging to not use hard coded function names (use __func__
  instead).
  - Cleanup up variable and function name prefixes.
  - Alignment of #define fixes.
  - Fix comparison between signed and unsigned integer warnings.
  - Add some newlines in favour of readability.
  - Combine the two sysfs ABI docs that somehow ended up in different places.
  - Fix multiline comment syntax.
  - Move a code block to inside an else statement as it makes more sense there.
  - Change tsl2583_als_calibrate to return 0 rather than a value nothing
  reads.
  - Drop some pointless brackets
  - Don't assume 32bit unsigned int.
  - Change to a per device instance lux table.
  - Add missing tsl2583 to the list of supported devices in the intro comments.
  - Improve commment on clearing of interrupts.
  - Drop some uninformative comments.
  - Drop a memset call that doesn't do anything useful any more.
  - Don't initialize some return variables that are always set.
  - Add Brian Masney as a module author after all these changes.

Linux 4.9-rc5

driver core fixes for 4.9-rc5

Here are two driver core fixes for 4.9-rc5.

The first resolves an issue with some drivers not liking to be unbound
and bound again (if CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE is enabled), which
solves some reported problems with graphics and storage drivers.  The
other resolves a smatch error with the 4.9-rc1 driver core changes
around this feature.

Both have been in linux-next with no reported issues.

Power management fixes for v4.9-rc5

 - Prevent the PM core from attempting to suspend parent devices
   if any of their children, whose suspend callbacks were invoked
   asynchronously, have failed to suspend during the "late" and
   "noirq" phases of system-wide suspend of devices (Brian Norris).

 - Prevent the boot-time system suspend test code from leaking a
   reference to the RTC device used by it (Johan Hovold).

 - Fix cpupower to use the return value of one of its library
   functions correctly and restore the correct behavior of it
   when used for setting cpufreq tunables broken during the 4.7
   development cycle (Laura Abbott).

ACPI fix for v4.9-rc5

Fix a recent regression in the 8250_dw serial driver introduced by
adding a quirk for the APM X-Gene SoC to it which uncovered an issue
related to the handling of built-in device properties in the core
ACPI device enumeration code (Heikki Krogerus).

amd, radeon, i915, imx, msm and udl fixes

This is the 4.8.7 stable release

This is the 4.4.31 stable release

This is the 3.12.67 stable release

sound fixes for 4.9-rc5

this became a largish pull-request, as we've got a bunch of pending
ASoC fixes at this time.  One noticeable change is the removal of
error directive in uapi/sound/asoc.h.  We found that the API has
been already used on Chromebooks, so we need to support it even now.

A slight big LOC is found in Qualcomm lpass driver, but the rest are
all small and easy fixes for ASoC drivers (sti, sun4i, Realtek codecs,
Intel, tas571x, etc) in addition to the patches to harden the ALSA
core proc file accesses.

IOMMU-Fixes for Linux v4.9-rc4

Two places need fixing:

	* Four patches from Robin Murphy fix several issues with the
	  recently merged generic DT-bindings support for arm-smmu
	  drivers

	* A fix for a dead-lock issue in the VT-d driver, which shows up
	  on iommu hotplug
