As shown in diffstat and logs, it was again a busy development
cycle at this time, too. The most significant changes are still
on-going refactoring / modernization works for ASoC core and
drivers, but there are lots of other changes as well. Here we go,
some highlights below:
ASoC:
- Quite lots of cleanup / refactoring of ASoC core and APIs;
most of them are systematic, but also including cleanups and
modernization
- A bulk of updates for some ASoC platforms, Freescale, sunxi and
Intel SST/SOF
- Initial support for Sound Open Firmware on i.MX8
- Removal of deprecated w90x900 and nuc900 drivers
- New support for Cirrus Logic CS47L15 and CS47L92, Freescale i.MX
7ULP and 8MQ, Meson G12A and NXP UDA1334
USB-audio:
- More validations of descriptor units for hardening against bugs
reported by fuzzers
- PCM device assignment workaround for a past call-order change
- Scarlett Gen2 mixer interface, a few more more quirks
HD-audio:
- Support for audio component with AMD/ATI and Nvidia HDMI codecs
- Clean up HD-audio core and remove indirect access ops for Intel SOF
- DMIC detection at probe; it would make systems automatically falling
back to SST/SOF driver on devices that need DMIC handling.
Needs a new Kconfig to set, and beware that it's still new and a bit
experimental
FireWire:
- Lots of code refactoring and cleanups

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
