The changes to the common clock framework for 4.2 are dominated by new
drivers and updates to existing ones, as usual. There are some fixes to
the framework itself and several cleanups for sparse warnings, etc.
Please consider pulling.

sound fixes for 4.2-rc1

Here are a bunch of small fixes, mostly for HD-audio quirks, in
addition to a few regression fixes and trivial cleanups.

This is the 4.1.1 stable release

This is the 4.0.7 stable release

This is the 3.14.46 stable release

This is the 3.10.82 stable release

Android 5.1.1 Release 0.13

Linux 3.18.17

media updates for v4.2-rc1

sound updates for 4.2-rc1

It was a busy development cycle at this time, as you can see a wide
range of changes in diffstat.  There are no big changes but many
refactoring and improvements.  Here we go some highlights:

* ALSA core:
- Procfs codes were cleaned up to use seq_file
- Procfs can be opt out via Kconfig (only for EXPERT)
- Two types of jack API were unified finally; now both kctl and input
  jack devs are handled via a single function call.

* HD-audio
- Continued code restructuring for the future ASoC driver; now HDA
  controller driver is split to a core helper module.
- Preliminary codes for Skylake audio support in HDA core.
- Proper i915 gfx power well management for SKL & co
- Enabled runtime PM as default for Intel HDMI/DP codecs
- Newer Tegra chip supports
- More quirks for Dell headsets, Alienware (with CA0132), etc.
- A couple of DRM ELD helper API functions

* ASoC
- Support for loading ASoC topology maps from firmware, intended to be
  used to allow self-describing DSP firmware images to be built which
  can map controls added by the DSP to userspace without the kernel
  needing to know about individual DSP firmwares
- Lots of refactoring to avoid direct access to snd_soc_codec where
  it's not needed supporting future refactoring
- Big refactoring, cleanup and enhancement for the Wolfson ADSP driver
- Cleanup series for TI TAS2552 and R-CAR drivers
- Fixes and improvements on RT56xx codecs
- Support for TI TAS571x power amplifiers
- Support for Qualcomm APQ8016 and ZTE ZX296702 SoCs
- Support for x86 systems with RT5650 and Qualcomm Storm
- Support for Mediatek AFE (Audio Front End) unit
- Other various small fixes to ASoC codec drivers

* Firewire
- Enhanced to allow non-blocking streams to use timestamp
  synchronization
- Improve support for DM1500 and BeBoBv3

* Misc
- Cleanup of old pci API functions over all PCI sound drivers
- Fix long-standing regression of the old powermac i2c setup

regulator: Updates for v4.2

Another fairly quiet release, some new drivers with generic handling for
minor features but nothing that makes a substantial difference outside
of the subsystem or for most boards:

 - Support for a bunch of new parameters which are present on enough
   regulators to be worth having generic handling for in the framework.
 - Fixes for some issues with printing constraints during boot which
   should probably have gone in for v4.1 but didn't.
 - New drivers for Dialog DA9062, Maxim MAX77621 and Qualcomm SPMI regulators.

DeviceTree updates for 4.2:

- dtc import script improvements and sync with upstream dtc.

- Make CONFIG_OF user selectable enabling overlays and unittests on any
architecture.

- Constify FDT blob pointers.

- Add driver helper to directly match and return match data.

- Various DT binding documentation updates.

This is the 4.0.6 stable release

This is the 3.14.45 stable release

This is the 3.10.81 stable release

This is the big bulk of GPIO changes queued for the v4.2
kernel series:

- A big set of cleanups to the aged sysfs interface from
  Johan Hovold. To get these in, v4.1-rc3 was merged into
  the tree as the first patch in that series had to go
  into stable. This makes the locking much more fine-grained
  (get rid of the "big GPIO lock(s)" and store states in the
  GPIO descriptors.

- Rename gpiod_[g|s]et_array() to gpiod_[g|s]et_array_value()
  to avoid confusions.

- New drivers for:
  - NXP LPC18xx (currently LPC1850)
  - NetLogic XLP
  - Broadcom STB SoC's
  - Axis ETRAXFS
  - Zynq Ultrascale+ (subdriver)

- ACPI:
  - Make it possible to retrieve GpioInt resources from
    a GPIO device using acpi_dev_gpio_irq_get()
  - Merge some dependent I2C changes exploiting this.
  - Support the ARM X-Gene GPIO standby driver.

- Make it possible for the generic GPIO driver to read
  back the value set registers to reflect current
  status.

- Loads of OMAP IRQ handling fixes.

- Incremental improvements to Kona, max732x, OMAP, MXC, RCAR,
  PCA953x, STP-XWAY, PCF857x, Crystalcove, TB10x.

- Janitorial (contification, checkpatch cleanups)
