Merge tag 'asoc-v5.7' of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound into for-linus
ASoC: Updates for v5.7 This is a very big update for the core since Morimoto-san has been rather busy continuing his refactorings to clean up a lot of the cruft that we have accumilated over the years. We've also gained several new drivers, including initial (but still not complete) parts of the Intel SoundWire support. - Lots of refactorings to modernize the code from Morimoto-san. - Conversion of SND_SOC_ALL_CODECS to use imply from Geert Uytterhoeven. - Continued refactoring and fixing of the Intel support. - Soundwire and more advanced clocking support for Realtek RT5682. - Support for amlogic GX, Meson 8, Meson 8B and T9015 DAC, Broadcom DSL/PON, Ingenic JZ4760 and JZ4770, Realtek RL6231, and TI TAS2563 and TLV320ADCX140.
