media updates for v4.15-rc1

DeviceTree for 4.15:

- kbuild cleanups and improvements for dtbs

- Code clean-up of overlay code and fixing for some long standing memory
  leak and race condition in applying overlays

- Improvements to DT memory usage making sysfs/kobjects optional and
  skipping unflattening of disabled nodes. This is part of kernel
  tinification efforts.

- Final piece of removing storing the full path for every DT node. The
  prerequisite conversion of printk's to use device_node format
  specifier happened in 4.14.

- Sync with current upstream dtc. This brings additional checks to dtb
  compiling.

- Binding doc tree wide removal of leading 0s from examples

- RTC binding documentation adding missing devices and some
  consolidation of duplicated bindings

- Vendor prefix documentation for nutsboard, Silicon Storage Technology,
  shimafuji, Tecon Microprocessor Technologies, DH electronics GmbH,
  Opal Kelly, and Next Thing

sound updates for 4.15-rc1

There are no big surprising changes in this cycle, yet not too
boring, either.  The biggest change from diffstat POV is the removal
of the legacy OSS driver codes that have been already disabled for a
long time.  This will bring a few trivial merge conflicts.

As new features in ASoC side, there are two things: a new AC97 bus
implementation and AMD Stony platform support.  Both include the
relevant changes shared with other subsystems, e.g. AC97 MFD changes
and DRM AMD changes.

Some other highlighted topics are:
- A bunch of USB-audio drivers got the hardening against the malicious
  device accesses with a new helper code for endpoint sanity check.
- Lots of cleanups for ASoC Intel platform code, including support for
  their open source audio firmware.
- Continued ASoC core componentization works.
- Support for scaling MCLK with sample rate in ASoC simple-card.
- Stabler PCM hot-unplug capability, especially for ASoC usages.

This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.15 kernel cycle:

CORE:
- Fix the semantics of raw GPIO to actually be raw. No
  inversion semantics as before, but also no open draining,
  and allow the raw operations to affect lines used for
  interrupts as the caller supposedly knows what they are
  doing if they are getting the big hammer.

- Rewrote the __inner_function() notation calls to names that
  make more sense. I just find this kind of code disturbing.

- Drop the .irq_base() field from the gpiochip since now all
  IRQs are mapped dynamically. This is nice.

- Support for .get_multiple() in the core driver API. This
  allows us to read several GPIO lines with a single
  register read. This has high value for some usecases: it
  can be used to create oscilloscopes and signal analyzers
  and other things that rely on reading several lines at
  exactly the same instant. Also a generally nice
  optimization. This uses the new assign_bit() macro from
  the bitops lib that was ACKed by Andrew Morton and
  is implemented for two drivers, one of them being the
  generic MMIO driver so everyone using that will be able
  to benefit from this.

- Do not allow requests of Open Drain and Open Source
  setting of a GPIO line simultaneously. If the hardware
  actually supports enabling both at the same time the
  electrical result would be disastrous.

- A new interrupt chip core helper. This will be helpful
  to deal with "banked" GPIOs, which means GPIO controllers
  with several logical blocks of GPIO inside them. This
  is several gpiochips per device in the device model, in
  contrast to the case when there is a 1-to-1 relationship
  between a device and a gpiochip.

NEW DRIVERS:

- Maxim MAX3191x industrial serializer, a very interesting
  piece of professional I/O hardware.

- Uniphier GPIO driver. This is the GPIO block from the
  recent Socionext (ex Fujitsu and Panasonic) platform.

- Tegra 186 driver. This is based on the new banked GPIO
  infrastructure.

OTHER IMPROVEMENTS:

- Some documentation improvements.

- Wakeup support for the DesignWare DWAPB GPIO controller.

- Reset line support on the DesignWare DWAPB GPIO controller.

- Several non-critical bug fixes and improvements for the
  Broadcom BRCMSTB driver.

- Misc non-critical bug fixes like exotic errorpaths, removal
  of dead code etc.

- Explicit comments on fall-through switch() statements.
