ASoC: Updates for v4.1

More updates for v4.1, pretty much all drivers:

 - Lots of cleanups from Lars, mainly moving things from the CODEC level
   to the card level.
 - Continuing improvements to rcar from Morimoto-san, pcm512x from
   Howard and Peter, the Intel platforms from Vinod, Jie, Jin and Han,
   and to rt5670 from Bard.
 - Support for some non-DSP Qualcomm platforms, Google's Storm
   platform, Maxmim MAX98925 CODECs and the Ingenic JZ4780 SoC.

<title>ALSA: ControlName.txt: Add 'Analogue' as a prefix for volume controls</title>

Currently 'Playback Volume' is the correct way to express an analogue
volume control. However, this control name has initialisation defaults
applied when using 'alsactl restore' and in some cases this is not
appropriate. An example would be a control that has a selection of
0db and -6dB of gain that is intended to set the fullscale ouput
voltage of a DAC. The TI pcm512x family of DAcs have such a control.
In this case the device/driver reset defaults are preferred.

David suggested that the name "power_mgmt" is too ambiguous.  Rename
the flag with a bit clearer one "power_save_node".

Also, add the corresponding description to HD-Audio.txt, too.

<title>ALSA: core: selection of audio_tstamp type and accuracy reports</title>

Audio timestamps can be extracted from sample counters, wall clocks,
PHC clocks (Ethernet AVB), on-demand synchronized snapshots. This
patch provides the ability to report timestamping capabilities, select
timestamp types and retrieve timestamp accuracy, if supported.
Details can be found in Documentations/sound/alsa/timestamping.txt

This functionality is introduced by reclaiming the reserved_aligned
field introduced by commit9c7066aef4a5eb8e4063de28f06c508bf6f2963a
in snd_pcm_status to provide userspace with selection/query capabilities.
Additional driver_tstamp and audio_tstamp_accuracy fields are also added.

snd_pcm_mmap_status remains a read-only structure with only
the audio timestamp value accessible from user space. The selection
of audio timestamp type is done through snd_pcm_status only

This commit does not impact ABI and does not impact the default
behavior. By default audio timestamp is aligned with hw_pointer and
reports the DMA position. Backwards compatibility is handled by using
the HDAudio wall clock for playback and the hw_ptr for all other
cases.

For timestamp selection a new STATUS_EXT ioctl is introduced with
read/write parameters. Alsa-lib will be modified to make use of
STATUS_EXT.

This patch adds a new proc entry for PCM substreams to inject an
XRUN.  When a PCM substream is running and any value is written to its
xrun_injection proc file, the driver triggers XRUN.  This is a useful
feature for debugging XRUN and error handling code paths.

Note that this entry is enabled only when CONFIG_SND_PCM_XRUN_DEBUG is
set.

<title>ALSA: pcm: Replace PCM hwptr tracking with tracepoints</title>

<id>f5914908a5b7b2338f210e56827a1ef35585dc6d</id>
<content type='text'>
ALSA PCM core has a mechanism tracking the PCM hwptr updates for
analyzing XRUNs.  But its log is limited (up to 10) and its log output
is a kernel message, which is hard to handle.

In this patch, the hwptr logging is moved to the tracing
infrastructure instead of its own.  Not only the hwptr updates but
also XRUN and hwptr errors are recorded on the trace log, so that user
can see such events at the exact timing.

The new "snd_pcm" entry will appear in the tracing events:
  # ls -F /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/snd_pcm
  enable  filter  hw_ptr_error/  hwptr/  xrun/

The hwptr is for the regular hwptr update events.  An event trace
looks like:

  aplay-26187 [004] d..3  4012.834761: hwptr: pcmC0D0p/sub0: POS: pos=488, old=0, base=0, period=1024, buf=16384

"POS" shows the hwptr update by the explicit position update call and
"IRQ" means the hwptr update by the interrupt,
i.e. snd_pcm_period_elapsed() call.  The "pos" is the passed
ring-buffer offset by the caller, "old" is the previous hwptr, "base"
is the hwptr base position, "period" and "buf" are period- and
buffer-size of the target PCM substream.
(Note that the hwptr position displayed here isn't the ring-buffer
 offset.  It increments up to the PCM position boundary.)

The XRUN event appears similarly, but without "pos" field.
The hwptr error events appear with the PCM identifier and its reason
string, such as "Lost interrupt?".

The XRUN and hwptr error reports on kernel message are still left, can
be turned on/off via xrun_debug proc like before.  But the bit 3, 4, 5
and 6 bits of xrun_debug proc are dropped by this patch.  Also, along
with the change, the message strings have been reformatted to be a bit
more consistent.

Last but not least, the hwptr reporting is enabled only when
CONFIG_SND_PCM_XRUN_DEBUG is set.

Just add the PCI ID for the STX II.  It appears to work the same as the
STX, except for the addition of the not-yet-supported daughterboard.
