sound updates for 3.17-rc1

There've been many updates in ASoC side at this time, especially the
framework enhancement for multiple CODECs on a single DAI and more
componentization works.  The only major change in ALSA core is the
addition of timestamp type in sw_params field.  This should behave in
backward compatible way.  Other than that, there are lots of small
changes and new drivers in wide range, including a large code cut in
HD-audio driver for deprecated static quirks.  Some highlights are
below:

ALSA Core:
- Add the new timestamp type field to sw_params to choose
  MONOTONIC_RAW type

HD-audio:
- Continued conversion to standard printk macros, generic code
  cleanups
- Removal of obsoleted static quirk codes for Conexant and C-Media
  codecs
- Fixups for HP Envy TS, Dell XPS 15, HP and Dell mute/mic LED,
  Gigabyte BXBT-2807 mobo
- Intel Braswell support

ASoC:
- Support for multiple CODECs attached to a single DAI, enabling
  systems with for example multiple DAC/speaker drivers on a single
 link, contributed by Benoit Cousson based on work from Misael Lopez
 Cruz
- Support for byte controls larger than 256 bytes based on the use of
  TLVs contributed by Omair Mohammed Abdullah
- More componentisation work from Lars-Peter Clausen
- The remainder of the conversions of CODEC drivers to params_width()
