Merge tag 'sound-4.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound

Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
 "There have been major modernization with the standard bus: in ALSA
  sequencer core and HD-audio.  Also, HD-audio receives the regmap
  support replacing the in-house cache register cache code.  These
  changes shouldn't impact the existing behavior, but rather
  refactoring.

  In addition, HD-audio got the code split to a core library part and
  the "legacy" driver parts.  This is a preliminary work for adapting
  the upcoming ASoC HD-audio driver, and the whole transition is still
  work in progress, likely finished in 4.1.

  Along with them, there are many updates in ASoC area as usual, too:
  lots of cleanups, Intel code shuffling, etc.

  Here are some highlights:

  ALSA core:
   - PCM: the audio timestamp / wallclock enhancement
   - PCM: fixes in DPCM management
   - Fixes / cleanups of user-space control element management
   - Sequencer: modernization using the standard bus

  HD-audio:
   - Modernization using the standard bus
   - Regmap support
   - Use standard runtime PM for codec power saving
   - Widget-path based power-saving for IDT, VIA and Realtek codecs
   - Reorganized sysfs entries for each codec object
   - More Dell headset support

  ASoC:
   - Move of jack registration to the card level
   - Lots of ASoC cleanups, mainly moving things from the CODEC level to
     the card level
   - Support for DAPM routes specified by both the machine driver and DT
   - Continuing improvements to rcar
   - pcm512x enhacements
   - Intel platforms updates
   - rt5670 updates / fixes
   - New platforms / devices: some non-DSP Qualcomm platforms, Google's
     Storm platform, Maxmim MAX98925 CODECs and the Ingenic JZ4780 SoC

  Misc:
   - ice1724: Improved ESI W192M support
   - emu10k1: Emu 1010 fixes/enhancement"
