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

As there +have been a long list of flaws `due to missing "break" statements +<https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/484.html>`_, we no longer allow +"implicit fall-through". In order to identify an intentional fall-through +case, we have adopted the marking used by static analyzers: a comment +saying `/* Fall through */`. Once the C++17 `__attribute__((fallthrough))` +is more widely handled by C compilers, static analyzers, and IDEs, we can +switch to using that instead. |
