Just a few trivial small fixes.

linux-kselftest-4.9-rc1-update

  tests from Documentation to selftests.

  Moves mic/mpssd, misc-devices/mei, timers, watchdog, auxdisplay, and
  blackfin examples from Documentation to samples.

  Moves accounting, laptops/dslm, and pcmcia/crc32hash tools from
  Documentation to tools.

  Deletes BUILD_DOCSRC and its dependencies.

- dsi/backlight fixes (Jani&Shawn)
- a few reset improvements (Ben, Chris, Imre)
- refactor port tracking for audio support (Dhinakaran)
- a pile of gen9 wm fixes from Paulo
- drop skl pre-production w/a (Jani)

sound updates for 4.9-rc1

Again the diffstat shows a widely distributed pattern at this cycle,
as there've been many code cleanups and refactoring allover the places.
Other than that, the development was relatively calm, and no big
surprise shouldn't be expected.  Here are some highlights:

Core:
- Sequencer code refactoring / documentation updates
- TLV code moved to uapi, following some relevant cleanups

USB-Audio:
- Lots of LINE6 driver fixes / updates
- DragonFly and TEAC device quirk updates

HD-audio:
- Usual fixupes for Dell, Lenovo and HP machines
- Link-audio time reporting capability

ASoC:
- Large refactoring of simple-card code to be shared with rcar
  driver
- Removal of some duplicated ops over lots of CODEC drivers
- Again quite a few Intel SKL driver updates
- New drivers for Nuvoton NAU88C10, Realtek RT5660 and RT5663

Linux 4.8

drm fixes for final 4.8, udl, amdgpu/radeon and nouveau

Linux 4.8-rc8

exynos and one stable ABI fix

- refactor the sseu code (Imre)
- refine guc dmesg output (Dave Gordon)
- more vgpu work
- more skl wm fixes (Lyude)
- refactor dpll code in prep for upfront link training (Jim Bride et al)
- consolidate all platform feature checks into intel_device_info (Carlos Santa)
- refactor elsp/execlist submission as prep for re-submission after hang
  recovery and eventually scheduling (Chris Wilson)
- allow synchronous gpu reset handling, to remove tricky/impossible/fragile
  error recovery code (Chris Wilson)
- prep work for nonblocking (execlist) submission, using fences to track
  depencies and drive elsp submission (Chris Wilson)
- partial error recover/resubmission of non-guilty batches after hangs (Chris Wilson)
- full dma-buf implicit fencing support (Chris Wilson)
- dp link training fixes (Jim, Dhinkaran, Navare, ...)
- obey dp branch device pixel rate/bpc/clock limits (Mika Kahola), needed for
  many vga dongles
- bunch of small cleanups and polish all over, as usual

Linux 4.8-rc7

drm fixes for 4.8-rc6

i915, vc4 and atmel.

Linux 4.8-rc6

sound fixes for 4.8-rc6

We've got quite a few fixes at this time, and all are stable patches.
syzkaller strikes back again (episode 19 or so), and we had to plug
some holes in ALSA core part (mostly timer).  In addition, a couple of
FireWire audio fixes for the invalid copy user calls in locks, and a
few quirks for HD-audio and USB-audio as usual are included.

Linux 4.8-rc5

- skl wm fixes (Lyude, Matt, Maarten)
- cleanup of kdev/drm_dev/i915_dev handling (David Weinehall)
- make (most) encoders take advantage of atomic states (Maarten)
- MMAP_GTT_VERSION driver param to announce that gtt mmaps are reliable (Chris)
- allow contexts on all rings (Chris)
- a few fixes (around diagnostic messages) to make BAT less noisy
- misc fixes and cleanups all over, as usual
