Linux 3.18.38

Linux 4.1.29

The bulk of the changes are updates and fixes to existing clk provider
drivers, along with a pretty standard number of new drivers. The core
recieved a small number of updates as well.

Core changes of note:
* Removed CLK_IS_ROOT flag

New clk provider drivers:
* Renesas r8a7796 Clock Pulse Generator / Module Standby and Software
  Reset
* Allwinner sun8i H3 Clock Controller Unit
* AmLogic meson8b clock controller (rewritten)
* AmLogic gxbb clock controller
* Support for some new ICs was added by simple changes to static data
  tables for chips sharing the same family

Driver updates of note:
* the Allwinner sunxi clock driver infrastucture was rewritten to
  comform to the state of the art at drivers/clk/sunxi-ng. The old
  implementation is still supported for backwards compatibility with the
  DT ABI

DeviceTree update for 4.8:

- Removal of most of_platform_populate() calls in arch code. Now the DT
core code calls it in the default case and platforms only need to call
it if they have special needs.

- Use pr_fmt on all the DT core print statements.

- CoreSight binding doc improvements to block name descriptions.

- Add dt_to_config script which can parse dts files and list
corresponding kernel config options.

- Fix memory leak hit with a PowerMac DT.

- Correct a bunch of STMicro compatible strings to use the correct
vendor prefix.

- Fix DA9052 PMIC binding doc to match what is actually used in dts
files.

This is the 3.14.74 stable release

This is the 4.4.16 stable release

This is the 4.6.5 stable release

media updates for v4.8-rc1

media updates for v4.8-rc1

Android Lego 6.0.1 Release 0.5 (M3D91)

regulator: Updates for v4.8

A quiet regulator API release, a few new drivers and some fixes but
nothing too notable.  There will also be some updates for the PWM
regulator coming through the PWM tree which provide much smoother
operation when taking over an already running PWM regulator after boot
using some new PWM APIs.

 - Support for configuration of the initial suspend state from DT.
 - New drivers for Mediatek MT6323, Ricoh RN5T567 and X-Powers AXP809.

linaro-android for Linux-4.7

media updates for v4.8-rc1

This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.8 kernel cycle.

Core changes:

- The big item is of course the completion of the character
  device ABI. It has now replaced and surpassed the former
  unmaintainable sysfs ABI: we can now hammer (bitbang)
  individual lines or sets of lines and read individual lines
  or sets of lines from userspace, and we can also register
  to listen to GPIO events from userspace. As a tie-in we
  have two new tools in tools/gpio: gpio-hammer and
  gpio-event-mon that illustrate the proper use of the new
  ABI. As someone said: the wild west days of GPIO are now
  over.

- Continued to remove the pointless
  ARCH_[WANT_OPTIONAL|REQUIRE]_GPIOLIB Kconfig symbols.
  I'm patching hexagon, openrisc, powerpc, sh, unicore,
  ia64 and microblaze. These are either ACKed by their
  maintainers or patched anyways after a grace period and
  no response from maintainers. Some archs (ARM) come in from
  their trees, and others (x86) are still not fixed, so I
  might send a second pull request to root it out later in
  this merge window, or just defer to v4.9.

- The GPIO tools are moved to the tools build system.

New drivers:

- New driver for the MAX77620/MAX20024.

- New driver for the Intel Merrifield.

- Enabled PCA953x for the TI PCA9536.

- Enabled PCA953x for the Intel Edison.

- Enabled R8A7792 in the RCAR driver.

Driver improvements:

- The STMPE and F7188x now supports the .get_direction()
  callback.

- The Xilinx driver supports setting multiple lines at
  once.

- ACPI support for the Vulcan GPIO controller.

- The MMIO GPIO driver supports device tree probing.

- The Acer One 10 is supported through the _DEP ACPI
  attribute.

Cleanups:

- A major cleanup of the OF/DT support code. It is way
  easier to read and understand now, probably this improves
  performance too.

- Drop a few redundant .owner assignments.

- Remove CLPS711x boardfile support: we are 100% DT.

- more engine code unification (Tvrtko)
- reorganize rps&rc6 setup (Chris Wilson)
- hotplug polling when in deep rpm states, especially fixes vls (Lyude)
- mocs fix for bxt (Imre)
- convert i915 request to use dma fences (Chris)
- prep work for lockless i915 requests/fences (needed for full sync integration)
  from Chris Wilson
- wait for external rendering/fences attached to dma_bufs (Chris)
- tons of small bugfixes all over

Linux 4.7

sound fixes #2 for 4.7-final

Now one more regression fix in addition to the previous pull request:
two changes in the core part are for unusual error paths, while the
rest are the regular HD-audio fixes and one USB-audio regression fix.
