Merge tag 'asoc-v5.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound into for-next
ASoC: Updates for v5.4 Quite a big update this time around, particularly in the core where we've had a lot of cleanups from Morimoto-san - there's not much functional change but quite a bit of modernization going on. We've also seen a lot of driver work, a lot of it cleanups but also some particular drivers. - Lots and lots of cleanups from Morimoto-san and Yue Haibing. - Lots of cleanups and enhancements to the Freescale, sunxi dnd Intel rivers. - Initial Sound Open Firmware suppot for i.MX8. - Removal of w90x900 and nuc900 drivers as the platforms are being removed. - New support for Cirrus Logic CS47L15 and CS47L92, Freescale i.MX 7ULP and 8MQ, Meson G12A and NXP UDA1334

+VFIO virtual device
+===================
+
+Device types supported:
+ KVM_DEV_TYPE_VFIO
+
+Only one VFIO instance may be created per VM. The created device
+tracks VFIO groups in use by the VM and features of those groups
+important to the correctness and acceleration of the VM. As groups
+are enabled and disabled for use by the VM, KVM should be updated
+about their presence. When registered with KVM, a reference to the
+VFIO-group is held by KVM.
+
+Groups:
+ KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP
+
+KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP attributes:
+ KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_ADD: Add a VFIO group to VFIO-KVM device tracking
+ kvm_device_attr.addr points to an int32_t file descriptor
+ for the VFIO group.
+ KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_DEL: Remove a VFIO group from VFIO-KVM device tracking
+ kvm_device_attr.addr points to an int32_t file descriptor
+ for the VFIO group.
+ KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_SET_SPAPR_TCE: attaches a guest visible TCE table
+ allocated by sPAPR KVM.
+ kvm_device_attr.addr points to a struct:
+
+ struct kvm_vfio_spapr_tce {
+ __s32 groupfd;
+ __s32 tablefd;
+ };
+
+ where
+ @groupfd is a file descriptor for a VFIO group;
+ @tablefd is a file descriptor for a TCE table allocated via
+ KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE.
