sound fixes for 4.4-rc1

Here are a collection of small fixes tha have been gathered for
4.4-rc1.  The only significant changes are those in PCI drivers
Kconfig, to use "depends on" instead of "select" for CONFIG_ZONE_DMA.
A reverse select is often more user-friendly, but in this case, it
makes hard to manage with the conflict with ZONE_DEVICE, so changed in
such a way for now.

Others are all small fixes and quirks: an error check in soundcore
reigster_chrdev(), HD-audio HDMI/DP phantom jack fix, Intel Broxton DP
quirk, USB-audio DSD device quirk, some constifications, etc.

DeviceTree fixes for 4.4-rc1:

- Add empty of_translate_address needed for HiSilicon network driver.

- Fix alignment requirements for CMA regions in DT.

- Fix booting on PPC systems which can't do WARN() early.

- Rename ak4554 binding doc from .c to .txt.

This is the 4.2.6 stable release

This is the 4.1.13 stable release

This is the 3.14.57 stable release

This is the 3.10.93 stable release

sound updates for 4.4-rc1

Here is the first batch of updates for sound system on 4.4-rc1.
Again at this time, the update looks fairly calm; no big changes in
either ALSA core or ASoC infrastructures, rather all small cleanups,
in addition to the new stuff as usual.

The biggest changes are about Firewire sound devices.  It gained lots
of new device support, and MIDI functionality.  Also there are updates
for a few still working-in-progress stuff (topology API and ASoC
skylake), too.  But overall, this update should give no big surprise.

Some highlight is below:

Core:
 - A few more Kconfig items for tinification; it's marked as EXPERT,
   so normal user should't be bothered :)
 - Refactoring with a new PCM hw_constraint helper
 - Removal of unused transfer_ack_{begin,end} PCM callbacks

Firewire:
 - Restructuring of code subtree, lots of refactoring
 - Support AMDTP variants
 - New driver for Digidesign 002/003 family
 - Adds support for TASCAM FireOne to ALSA OXFW driver
 - Add MIDI support to TASCAM and Digi00x devices

HD-Audio:
 - Automated modalias generation for codec drivers, finally
 - Improvement on heuristics for setting mixer name
 - A few fixes for longstanding bugs on Creative CA0132 cards
 - Addition of audio rate callback with i915 communication
 - Fix suspend issue on recent Dell XPS
 - Intel Lewisburg controller support

ASoC:
 - Updates to the topology userspace interface
 - Big updates to the Renesas support (rcar)
 - More updates for supporting Intel Sky Lake systems
 - New drivers for Asahi Kasei Microdevices AK4613, Allwinnner A10,
   Cirrus Logic WM8998, Dialog DA7219, Nuvoton NAU8825, Rockchip
   S/PDIF, and Atmel class D amplifier

USB-Audio:
 - A fix for newer Roland MIDI devices
 - Quirks and workarounds for Zoom R16/24 device

Misc:
 - A few fixes for some old Cirrus CS46xx PCI sound boards
 - Yet another fixes for some old ESS Maestro3 PCI sound boards

DeviceTree updates for 4.4:

- DT binding doc consolidation moving similar bindings to common
  locations. The majority of these are display related which were
  scattered in video/, fb/, drm/, gpu/, and panel/ directories.
- Add new config option, CONFIG_OF_ALL_DTBS, to enable building all dtbs
  in the tree for most arches with dts files (except powerpc for now).
- OF_IRQ=n fixes for user enabled CONFIG_OF.
- of_node_put ref counting fixes from Julia Lawall.
- Common DT binding for wakeup-source and deprecation of all similar
  bindings.
- DT binding for PXA LCD controller.
- Allow ignoring failed PCI resource translations in order to ignore
  64-bit addresses on non-LPAE 32-bit kernels.
- Support setting the NUMA node from DT instead of only from parent
  device.
- Couple of earlycon DT parsing fixes for address and options.

The majority of the changes are driver updates and new device
support. The core framework is mostly unchanged this time
around, with only a couple patches to expose a clk provider
API and make getting clk parent names from DT more robust.

Driver updates:

- Support for clock controllers found on Broadcom Northstar
  SoCs and bcm2835 SoC

- Support for Allwinner audio clocks

- A few cleanup patches for Tegra drivers and support for the
  highest DFLL frequencies on Tegra124

- Samsung exynos7 fixes and improvements

- i.Mx SoC updates to add a few missing clocks and keep debug
  uart clocks on during kernel intialization

- Some mediatek cleanups and support for more subsystem clocks

- Support for msm8916 gpu/audio clocks and qcom's GDSC power domain
  controllers

- A new driver for the Silabs si514 clock chip

regulator: Updates for v4.4

This is quite a quiet release in terms of volume of patches but it
includes a couple of really nice core changes - the work Sascha has done
in particular is something I've wanted to get done for a long time but
just never got round to myself.  Highlights include:

 - Support from Sascha Hauer for setting the voltage of parent supplies
   based on requests from their children.  This is used both to allow
   set_voltage() to work through a dumb switch and to improve the
   efficiency of systems where DCDCs are used to supply LDOs by minimising
   the voltage drop over the LDOs.
 - Removal of regulator_list by Tomeu Vizoso, meaning we're not
   duplicating the device list maintained by the driver core.
 - Support for Wolfson/Cirrus WM8998 and WM1818.

Android 6.0.0 Release 0.9

Android 6.0.0 Release 0.10

Android 6.0.0 Release 0.8

Android 6.0.0 Release 0.7

Another set of fixes:
 * remove a warning on a check that can trigger without any
   errors having happened (Andrei)
 * correctly handle deauth request while in the process of
   associating (Andrei)
 * fix TDLS HT operation (Arik)
 * allow changing AID/listen interval during client setup (Ayala)
 * be more forgiving with WMM parameters to get HT/VHT in case of
   broken APs with bad WMM settings (Emmanuel, myself)
 * a number of other fixes (some in documentation)

media updates for v4.4-rc1

This is the bulk of GPIO changes for v4.4:

GPIO core:
- Define and handle flags for open drain/open collector
  and open source/open emitter, also know as "single-ended"
  configurations.
- Generic request/free operations that handle calling out
  to the (optional) pin control backend.
- Some refactoring related to an ABI change that did not
  happen, yet provide useful.
- Added a real-time compliance checklist. Many GPIO chips
  have irqchips, and need to think this over with the RT
  patches going upstream.
- Restructure, fix and clean up Kconfig menus a bit.

New drivers:
- New driver for AMD Promony.
- New driver for ACCES 104-IDIO-16, a port-mapped I/O
  card, ISA-style. Very retro.

Subdriver changes:
- OMAP changes to handle real time requirements.
- Handle trigger types for edge and level IRQs on PL061
  properly. As this hardware is very common it needs to
  set a proper example for others to follow.
- Some container_of() cleanups.
- Delete the unused MSM driver in favor of the driver that
  is embedded inside the pin control driver.
- Cleanup of the ath79 GPIO driver used by many, many
  OpenWRT router targets.
- A consolidated IT87xx driver replacing the earlier
  very specific IT8761e driver.
- Handle the TI TCA9539 in the PCA953x driver. Also
  handle ACPI devices in this subdriver.
- Drop xilinx arch dependencies as these FPGAs seem to
  profilate over a few different architectures. MIPS and
  ARM come to mind.
