sound updates for 5.4 As shown in diffstat and logs, it was again a busy development cycle at this time, too. The most significant changes are still on-going refactoring / modernization works for ASoC core and drivers, but there are lots of other changes as well. Here we go, some highlights below: ASoC: - Quite lots of cleanup / refactoring of ASoC core and APIs; most of them are systematic, but also including cleanups and modernization - A bulk of updates for some ASoC platforms, Freescale, sunxi and Intel SST/SOF - Initial support for Sound Open Firmware on i.MX8 - Removal of deprecated w90x900 and nuc900 drivers - New support for Cirrus Logic CS47L15 and CS47L92, Freescale i.MX 7ULP and 8MQ, Meson G12A and NXP UDA1334 USB-audio: - More validations of descriptor units for hardening against bugs reported by fuzzers - PCM device assignment workaround for a past call-order change - Scarlett Gen2 mixer interface, a few more more quirks HD-audio: - Support for audio component with AMD/ATI and Nvidia HDMI codecs - Clean up HD-audio core and remove indirect access ops for Intel SOF - DMIC detection at probe; it would make systems automatically falling back to SST/SOF driver on devices that need DMIC handling. Needs a new Kconfig to set, and beware that it's still new and a bit experimental FireWire: - Lots of code refactoring and cleanups
