sound updates for 4.5-rc1
We've had quite busy weeks in this cycle. Looking at ALSA core, the significant changes are a few fixes wrt timer and sequencer ioctls that have been revealed by fuzzer recently. Other than that, ASoC core got a few updates about DAI link handling, but these are rather straightforward refactoring. In drivers scene, ASoC received quite lots of new drivers in addition to bunch of updates for still ongoing Intel Skylake support and topology API. HD-audio gained a new HDMI/DP hotplug notification via component. FireWire got a pile of code refactoring/updates with SCS.1x driver integration. More highlights are shown below. [NOTE: this contains also many commits for DRM. This is due to the pull of drm stable branch into sound tree, as the base of i915 audio component work for HD-audio. The highlights below don't contain these DRM changes, as these are supposed to be pulled via drm tree in anyway sooner or later.] Core - Handful fixes to harden ALSA timer and sequencer ioctls against races reported by syzkaller fuzzer - Irq description string can be unique to each card; only for HD-audio for now ASoC - Conversion of the array of DAI links to a list for supporting dynamically adding and removing DAI links - Topology API enhancements to make everything more component based and being able to specify PCM links via topology - Some more fixes for the topology code, though it is still not final and ready for enabling in production; we really need to get to the point where that can be done - A pile of changes for Intel SkyLake drivers which hopefully deliver some useful initial functionality for systems with this chipset, though there is more work still to come - Lots of new features and cleanups for the Renesas drivers - ANC support for WM5110 - New drivers: Imagination Technologies IPs, Atmel class D speaker, Cirrus CS47L24 and WM1831, Dialog DA7128, Realtek RT5659 and RT56156, Rockchip RK3036, TI PC3168A, and AMD ACP - Rename PCM1792a driver to be generic pcm179x HD-Audio - Use audio component for i915 HDMI/DP hotplug handling - On-demand binding with i915 driver - bdl_pos_adj parameter adjustment for Baytrail controllers - Enable power_save_node for CX20722; this shouldn't lead to regression, hopefully - Kabylake HDMI/DP codec support - Quirks for Lenovo E50-80, Dell Latitude E-series, and other Dell machines - A few code refactoring FireWire - Lots of code cleanup and refactoring - Integrate the support of SCS.1x devices into snd-oxfw driver; snd-scs1x driver is obsoleted USB-audio - Fix possible NULL dereference at disconnection - A regression fix for Native Instruments devices Misc - A few code cleanups of fm801 driver -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAABCAAGBQJWmmhNAAoJEGwxgFQ9KSmk/wsP/3eO+giAT9VRPa6qxR6VdT6I dZwTxcp4ZzUrgLxk9k5VYjqey6QL+1xWfl3Abrd+NzXDj1wo4KsDh2XCKG1btO9K UpIZf76Nzt7o91pzHbsU6mrjDeoVNqloZoGbg1utAmmegaXH3owd18p/ZHfE3sz2 BbaHmYW/R8lnaBgBhzqJB97+zRaLJmMWpWHfpHaIPjdfw8/V4j76jtPnpmv2hDZl BHXVHcQXjVGunFRzxdzBLuTC+FmhzUeTAbbAdOT4fEoOCv5MtZqYppNxdhj+b9l5 mrsXe5FBTNmrt9Z5TtfCuzgJPkzoDperFb0aKd7wI1jVMtLzkNCMlanHr9U6B6fr jSrs6l25xrpF1BBfRMfHjNudA5vng/XC5dtW00JofXSrIxtwPNUoDDiqJgw7xVm5 aVWK7KkQIjRbHdCQaeTymv70oHHKei92hbCrXUobXZ7wLeJMXNVPT25ttChWrgAI 7cu5h+K5PjReI/sJFTMPL4aHZ+jAn9quQl7vK8EXiL9E6G8lLiuBiVW6hjGd9At+ Z6UyGV+nCM6O3qZcyParMuLkNtWx9uT7Pcn8oTZAdKPngNhsf8+yl9qmsFkNLDC4 LKPx0+rdCjtMKn2du3krsHhG3EN9pLDrE6g5U3d6Cz83e69Y7fCuSjl31SjD91H0 bZDcM/ejYSbid3yKN4TL =Gvgb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
