This is the 3.10.28 stable release

DeviceTree updates for 3.14:

- Add new documents with guidelines for DT binding stability and review
  process. This is one of the outcomes of Kernel Summit DT discussions.
- Remove a bunch of device_type usage which is only for OF and
  deprecated with FDT.
- Fix a long standing issue with compatible string match ordering.
- Various minor binding documentation updates.

regulator: Updates for v3.14

A respin of the merges in the previous pull request with one extra fix.
A quiet release for the regulator API, quite a large number of small
improvements all over but other than the addition of new drivers for the
AS3722 and MAX14577 there is nothing of substantial non-local impact.

sound updates for 3.14-rc1

It was holiday season, so no wonder that there are little changes in
framework level, although diffstat shows quite many changes spreaded
over sound/* directories.  Most of changes are cleanups, code
refactoring and fixes.

Some highlights:

- Removal of OSS sleep_on usages by Arnd

- Simplified memalloc helper codes, drop obsoleted features;
  now it's built into PCM driver instead of an individual module

- Warn if PCM buffer preallocation fails, which will show page
  allocation issues more clearly

- Compress offload API updates for sample rates by Vinod

- PCM glitch workaround on ctxfi emu20k1 by Sarah

- Drop cs46xx DSP blobs, using firmware loader now

- USB-audio quitks for Plantronics Gamecom 780, Creative VF0420,
  and Focusrite Saffire 6

HD-audio specifics:

- Standardize Kconfigs of HD-audio codec drivers;
  now "make localmodconfig" recognizes configs properly (finally!)

- Parallel PM implementation by Mengdong

- BayleyBay/ValleyView2 board fixups

- Broadwell audio support

- Runtime PM improvement (PantherPoint, etc)

- Quirks: Dell subwooer, Gigabyte mobo jack detection oddity,
  Dell AiO click noise fixes, Dell headset mic fixes, etc

- Automatic bind with HDMI codec parser without generic parser

- More AD codec fixes (since 3.12 regression) including the automatic
  stereo mix support

- Common Thinkpad ACPI helper for Realtek and Conexant codecs

ASoC specifics:

- Update to the generic DMA code to support deferred probe and managed
  resources

- New drivers for BCM2835 (used in Raspberry Pi), Tegra with MAX98090
  and Analog Devices AXI I2S and S/PDIF controller IPs

- Device tree support for the simple card, max98090 and cs42l52

- Conversion of the Samsung drivers to native dmaengine, making them
  multiplatform compatible and hopefully helping keep them more modern
  and up to date.

- More regmap conversions, including a very welcome one for twl6040
  from Peter Ujfalusi

- A big overhaul of the DaVinci drivers also from Peter Ujfalusi

- Lots of DMA updates from Lars-Peter

- Improvements to the constraints handling code from Lars-Peter

- A very helpful conversion of the TWL4030 driver to regmap from Peter

- A new driver for the Freescale ESAI controller from Nicolin Chen

- Conversion of some of the drivers to use params_width()

- Extensions to DPCM for use with compressed audio from Liam

GPIO tree bulk changes for v3.14

A big set this merge window, as we have much going on in
this subsystem. Major changes this time:

- Some core improvements and cleanups to the new GPIO
  descriptor API. This seems to be working now so we can
  start the exodus to this API, moving gradually away from
  the global GPIO numberspace.

- Incremental improvements to the ACPI GPIO core, and move
  the few GPIO ACPI clients we have to the GPIO descriptor
  API right *now* before we go any further. We actually
  managed to contain this *before* we started to litter
  the kernel with yet another hackish global numberspace for
  the ACPI GPIOs, which is a big win.

- The RFkill GPIO driver and all platforms using it have
  been migrated to use the GPIO descriptors rather than
  fixed number assignments. Tegra machine has been migrated
  as part of this.

- New drivers for MOXA ART, Xtensa GPIO32 and SMSC SCH311x.
  Those should be really good examples of how I expect a
  nice GPIO driver to look these days.

- Do away with custom GPIO implementations on a major
  part of the ARM machines: ks8695, lpc32xx, mv78xx0.
  Make a first step towards the same in the horribly
  convoluted Samsung S3C include forest. We expect to
  continue to clean this up as we move forward.

- Flag GPIO lines used for IRQ on adnp, bcm-kona, em,
  intel-mid and lynxpoint.
  This makes the GPIOlib core aware that a certain GPIO line
  is used for IRQs and can then enforce some semantics such
  as disallowing a GPIO line marked as in use for IRQ to be
  switched to output mode.

- Drop all use of irq_set_chip_and_handler_name().
  The name provided in these cases were just unhelpful
  tags like "mux" or "demux".

- Extend the MCP23s08 driver to handle interrupts.

- Minor incremental improvements for rcar, lynxpoint, em
  74x164 and msm drivers.

- Some non-urgent bug fixes here and there, duplicate
  #includes and that usual kind of cleanups.
