Merge tag 'sound-5.6-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound
Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
"As the diffstat shows we've had again a lot of works done for this
cycle: the majority of changes are the continued componentization and
code refactoring in ASoC, the tree-wide PCM API updates and cleanups
and SOF updates while a few ASoC driver updates are seen, too.
Here we go, some highlights:
Core:
- Finally y2038 support landed to ALSA ABI; some ioctls have been
extended and lots of tricks were applied
- Applying the new managed PCM buffer API to all drivers; the API
itself was already merged in 5.5
- The already deprecated dimension support in ALSA control API is
dropped completely now
- Verification of ALSA control elements to catch API misuses
ASoC:
- Further code refactorings and moving things to the component level
- Lots of updates and improvements on SOF / Intel drivers; now
including common HDMI driver and SoundWire support
- New driver support for Ingenic JZ4770, Mediatek MT6660, Qualcomm
WCD934x and WSA881x, and Realtek RT700, RT711, RT715, RT1011,
RT1015 and RT1308
HD-audio:
- Improved ring-buffer communications using waitqueue
- Drop the superfluous buffer preallocation on x86
Others:
- Many code cleanups, mostly constifications over the whole tree
- USB-audio: quirks for MOTU, Corsair Virtuoso, Line6 Helix
- FireWire: code refactoring for oxfw and dice drivers"
