Linux 4.7-rc5

sound fixes for 4.7-rc5

Again pretty calm weeks: we've had only a few trivial / stable
HD-audio fixes in addition to a possible race fix for snd-dummy
driver spotted by syzkaller.

Linux 4.7-rc4

- Infrastructure for GVT-g (paravirtualized gpu on gen8+), from Zhi Wang
- another attemp at nonblocking atomic plane updates
- bugfixes and refactoring for GuC doorbell code (Dave Gordon)
- GuC command submission enabled by default, if fw available (Dave Gordon)
- more bxt w/a (Arun Siluvery)
- bxt phy improvements (Imre Deak)
- prep work for stolen objects support (Ankitprasa Sharma & Chris Wilson)
- skl/bkl w/a update from Mika Kuoppala
- bunch of small improvements and fixes all over, as usual

Linux 4.7-rc3

sound fixes for 4.7-rc3

We have only few, mainly HD-audio device-specific fixes.
Realtek codec driver got a slightly more LOC, but they are all for the
new codec chip, and won't affect others at all.

- some polish for the guc code (Dave Gordon)
- big refactoring of gen9 display clock handling code (Ville)
- refactoring work in the context code (Chris Wilson)
- give encoder/crtc/planes useful names for debug output (Ville)
- improvements to skl/kbl wm computation code (Mahesh Kumar)
- bunch of smaller improvements all over as usual

Linux 4.7-rc2

Linux 4.7-rc1

sound updates #2 for 4.7-rc1

This is the second update round for 4.7-rc1.  Most of changes are
about the pending ASoC updates and fixes, including a few new
drivers.  Below are some highlights:

ASoC:
- New drivers for MAX98371 and TAS5720
- SPI support for TLV320AIC32x4, along with the module split
- TDM support for STI Uniperf IPs
- Remaining topology API fixes / updates

HDA:
- A couple of Dell quirks and new Realtek codec support

linux-kselftest-4.7-rc1

This update for Kselftest adds:

- a new ftrace testcase
- fixes for ftrace and intel_pstate tests

- cmd-parser support for direct reg->reg loads (Ken Graunke)
- better handle DP++ smart dongles (Ville)
- bxt guc fw loading support (Nick Hoathe)
- remove a bunch of struct typedefs from dpll code (Ander)
- tons of small work all over to avoid casting between drm_device and the i915
  dev struct (Tvrtko&Chris)
- untangle request retiring from other operations, also fixes reset stat corner
  cases (Chris)
- skl atomic watermark support from Matt Roper, yay!
- various wm handling bugfixes from Ville
- big pile of cdclck rework for bxt/skl (Ville)
- CABC (Content Adaptive Brigthness Control) for dsi panels (Jani&Deepak M)
- nonblocking atomic commits for plane-only updates (Maarten Lankhorst)
- bunch of PSR fixes&improvements
- untangle our map/pin/sg_iter code a bit (Dave Gordon)

sound updates for 4.7-rc1

This time was again a relatively calm development cycle; most of
updates are about drivers, and no radical changes are seen in any
core code.  Here are some highlights:

ALSA core:
- Continued hardening of ALSA hrtimer
- A few leak fixes in timer interface
- Fix poll error handling in PCM and compress
- Add error propagation in compress API
- Removal of dead rtctimer driver

HD-audio:
- Native ELD notify support for i915 HDMI
- Realtek ALC234 & co support
- Code refactoring to standardize chmap support
- Continued development for SKL HDMI core support

Firewire:
- Apply delayed card registration to all drivers
- Improved / stabilized the handling of PCM stream start / stop
- Add tracepoints to dump a part of isochronous packet data
- Fixed incoming/outgoing packet parameter usages
- Add support for M-Audio profire series

USB-audio:
- Fixes for UAC2 clock source
- SS+ support
- Workaround for oft-seen repeated sample rate read errors

ASoC:
- Further slow progress on the topology code
- Substantial updates and improvements for the da7219, es8328,
  fsl-ssi, Intel and rcar drivers.
- Compress error handling in WM ADSP driver

Linux 4.6

sound fixes for 4.6

This is a pretty boring pull request as you wish: including a few
small and trivial HD-audio and USB-audio quirks and a couple of small
regression fixes in HD-audio.

Linux 4.6-rc7

- refactor stolen quirks to share code between early quirks and i915 (Joonas)
- refactor gem BO/vma funcstion (Tvrtko&Dave)
- backlight over DPCD support (Yetunde Abedisi)
- more dsi panel sequence support (Jani)
- lots of refactoring around handling iomaps, vma, ring access and related
  topics culmulating in removing the duplicated request tracking in the execlist
  code (Chris & Tvrtko) includes a small patch for core iomapping code
- hw state readout for bxt dsi (Ramalingam C)
- cdclk cleanups (Ville)
- dedupe chv pll code a bit (Ander)
- enable semaphores on gen8+ for legacy submission, to be able to have a direct
  comparison against execlist on the same platform (Chris) Not meant to be used
  for anything else but performance tuning
- lvds border bit hw state checker fix (Jani)
- rpm vs. shrinker/oom-notifier fixes (Praveen Paneri)
- l3 tuning (Imre)
- revert mst dp audio, it's totally non-functional and crash-y (Lyude)
- first official dmc for kbl (Rodrigo)
- and tons of small things all over as usual

Linux 4.6-rc6

sound fixes for 4.6-rc6

Usually we get a big collection of fixes for ASoC once during rc.
And this is it.

At this time, most of fixes are about Intel Skylake ASoC driver, which
is a new and still on-going development.  Along with it, a slight
large LOC is seen in legacy HD-audio driver, but it's merely a code
move to the upper layer.

Other than that, the rest are small or trivial fixes to various
drivers, in addition to an ASoC dapm debugfs code fix.
