This development cycle resulted in a fair amount of changes in both
core and driver sides. The most significant change in ALSA core is
about PCM. Also the support of of-graph card and the new DAPM widget
for DSP are noteworthy changes in ASoC core. And there're lots of
small changes splat over the tree, as you can see in diffstat.
Below are a few highlights:
ALSA core:
- Removal of set_fs() hackery from PCM core stuff, and the code
reorganization / optimization thereafter
- Improved support of PCM ack ops, and a new ABI for improved
control/status mmap handling
- Lots of constifications in various codes
ASoC core:
- The support of of-graph card, which may work as a better generic
device for a replacement of simple-card
- New widget types intended mainly for use with DSPs
ASoC drivers:
- New drivers for Allwinner V3s SoCs
- Ensonic ES8316 codec support
- More Intel SKL and KBL works
- More device support for Intel SST Atom (mostly for cheap tablets and
2-in-1 devices)
- Support for Rockchip PDM controllers
- Support for STM32 I2S and S/PDIF controllers
- Support for ZTE AUD96P22 codecs
HD-audio:
- Support of new Realtek codecs (ALC215/ALC285/ALC289), more quirks
for HP and Dell machines
- A few more fixes for i915 component binding
Note that of-graph change may bring the conflicts with a later pull
request of devicetree, as currently found in linux-next.

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:
* This source code. This is necessarily an evolving work, and
includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
"gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.) Also, Documentation/usb has
more information.
* The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".
* Chip specifications for USB controllers. Examples include
host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.
* Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
functions. Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.
Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.
core/ - This is for the core USB host code, including the
usbfs files and the hub class driver ("hub_wq").
host/ - This is for USB host controller drivers. This
includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.
gadget/ - This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
the various gadget drivers which talk to them.
Individual USB driver directories. A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.
image/ - This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
digital cameras.
../input/ - This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/ - This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
subsystem.
../net/ - This is for network drivers.
serial/ - This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/ - This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories, and work for a range
of USB Class specified devices.
misc/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories.
