Merge tag 'sound-4.7-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound

Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
 "This time was again a relatively calm development cycle; most of
  updates are about drivers, and no radical changes are seen in any core
  code.  Here are some highlights:

  ALSA core:
   - Continued hardening of ALSA hrtimer
   - A few leak fixes in timer interface
   - Fix poll error handling in PCM and compress
   - Add error propagation in compress API
   - Removal of dead rtctimer driver

  HD-audio:
   - Native ELD notify support for i915 HDMI
   - Realtek ALC234 & co support
   - Code refactoring to standardize chmap support
   - Continued development for SKL HDMI core support

  Firewire:
   - Apply delayed card registration to all drivers
   - Improved / stabilized the handling of PCM stream start / stop
   - Add tracepoints to dump a part of isochronous packet data
   - Fixed incoming/outgoing packet parameter usages
   - Add support for M-Audio profire series

  USB-audio:
   - Fixes for UAC2 clock source
   - SS+ support
   - Workaround for oft-seen repeated sample rate read errors

  ASoC:
   - Further slow progress on the topology code
   - Substantial updates and improvements for the da7219, es8328,
     fsl-ssi, Intel and rcar drivers.
   - Compress error handling in WM ADSP driver"

* tag 'sound-4.7-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound: (177 commits)
  ALSA: firewire-lib: change a member of event structure to suppress sparse wanings to bool type

  ALSA: au88x0: Fix zero clear of stream->resources
  ASoC: rt298: Add DMI match for Broxton-P reference platform
  ASoC: rt298: fix null deref on acpi driver data
  ASoC: dapm: deprecate MICBIAS widget type
  ALSA: firewire-lib: drop skip argument from helper functions to queue a packet
  ALSA: firewire-lib: add context information to tracepoints
