linux-kselftest-4.4-rc1

This 12 patch update for 4.4-rc1 consists of a new pstore
test and fixes to existing tests.

sound updates for 4.4-rc1

Here is the first batch of updates for sound system on 4.4-rc1.
Again at this time, the update looks fairly calm; no big changes in
either ALSA core or ASoC infrastructures, rather all small cleanups,
in addition to the new stuff as usual.

The biggest changes are about Firewire sound devices.  It gained lots
of new device support, and MIDI functionality.  Also there are updates
for a few still working-in-progress stuff (topology API and ASoC
skylake), too.  But overall, this update should give no big surprise.

Some highlight is below:

Core:
 - A few more Kconfig items for tinification; it's marked as EXPERT,
   so normal user should't be bothered :)
 - Refactoring with a new PCM hw_constraint helper
 - Removal of unused transfer_ack_{begin,end} PCM callbacks

Firewire:
 - Restructuring of code subtree, lots of refactoring
 - Support AMDTP variants
 - New driver for Digidesign 002/003 family
 - Adds support for TASCAM FireOne to ALSA OXFW driver
 - Add MIDI support to TASCAM and Digi00x devices

HD-Audio:
 - Automated modalias generation for codec drivers, finally
 - Improvement on heuristics for setting mixer name
 - A few fixes for longstanding bugs on Creative CA0132 cards
 - Addition of audio rate callback with i915 communication
 - Fix suspend issue on recent Dell XPS
 - Intel Lewisburg controller support

ASoC:
 - Updates to the topology userspace interface
 - Big updates to the Renesas support (rcar)
 - More updates for supporting Intel Sky Lake systems
 - New drivers for Asahi Kasei Microdevices AK4613, Allwinnner A10,
   Cirrus Logic WM8998, Dialog DA7219, Nuvoton NAU8825, Rockchip
   S/PDIF, and Atmel class D amplifier

USB-Audio:
 - A fix for newer Roland MIDI devices
 - Quirks and workarounds for Zoom R16/24 device

Misc:
 - A few fixes for some old Cirrus CS46xx PCI sound boards
 - Yet another fixes for some old ESS Maestro3 PCI sound boards

Linux 4.3

Linux 4.3-rc7

- 2nd attempt at atomic watermarks from Matt, but just prep for now
- fixes all over

sound fixes for 4.3-rc7

There is nothing to worry you much, only a few small & stable patches
are found for usual stuff, HD-audio (a Lenovo laptop quirk, a fix for
minor error handling) and ASoC (trivial fixes for RT298 and WM
codecs).  The only remaining major change is the fix for ASoC SX_TLV
control that was overseen during refactoring, but the fix itself is
trivial and safe.

Linux 4.3-rc6

Linux 4.3-rc5

- dmc fixes from Animesh (not yet all) for deeper sleep states
- piles of prep patches from Ville to make mmio functions type-safe
- more fbc work from Paulo all over
- w/a shuffling from Arun Siluvery
- first part of atomic watermark updates from Matt and Ville (later parts had to
  be dropped again unfortunately)
- lots of patches to prepare bxt dsi support ( Shashank Sharma)
- userptr fixes from Chris
- audio rate interface between i915/snd_hda plus kerneldoc (Libin Yang)
- shrinker improvements and fixes (Chris Wilson)
- lots and lots of small patches all over

sound fixes for 4.3-rc5

We see various small fixes, but nothing looks too scary, all are
small gentle bug fixes:
- Most of changes are for ASoC codecs: Realtek, SGTL5000, TAS2552,
  TLV320, WM8962
- A couple of dwc and imx-ssi fixes
- Usual oneliner HD-audio quirks
- An old emux synth code fix

Linux 4.3-rc4

- fastboot by default for some systems (Maarten Lankhorts)
- piles of workarounds for bxt and skl
- more fbc work from Paulo
- fix hdmi hotplug detection (Sonika)
- first few patches from Ville to parametrize register macros, prep work for
  typesafe mmio functions
- prep work for nv12 rotation (Tvrtko Ursulin)
- various other bugfixes and improvements all over

Linux 4.3-rc3

sound fixes for 4.3-rc3

This ended up with a larger set of fixes than wished, unfortunately.
As diffstat shows, the majority of changes are for various ASoC
drivers (Realtek, Wolfson codec drivers, etc), in addition to a couple
of HD-audio regression fixes.  All these are reasonably small and
nothing to scare much.

Linux 4.3-rc2

linux-kselftest-4.3-rc2-fixes

This update contains 7 fixes for problems ranging from
build failurs to incorrect error reporting.

Linux 4.3-rc1

- initialize backlight from VBT as fallback (Jani)
- hpd A support from Ville
- various atomic polish all over (mostly from Maarten)
- first parts of virtualize gpu guest support on bdw from
  Zhiyuan Lv
- GuC fixes from Alex
- polish for the chv clocks code (Ville)
- various things all over, as usual

sound fixes for 4.3-rc1

A collection of small fixes since the last update: the HD-audio
quirks as usual with a USB-audio fix and a trivial fix for the
old sparc driver.

liux-kselftest-4.3-rc1:

This update adds new zram test and fixes to problems found
during testing this new zram test. In addition, there are
a few bug fixes and ksefltest improvement patches from Linaro
developers.
