Merge tag 'sound-4.18-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound

Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
 "We've got many code additions at this cycle as a result of quite a few
  new drivers. Below are highlights:

  Core stuff:
   - Fix the long-standing issue with the device registration order; the
     control device is now registered at last
   - PCM locking code cleanups for RT kernels
   - Fixes for possible races in ALSA timer resolution accesses
   - TLV offset definitions in uapi

  ASoC:
   - Many fixes for the topology stuff, including fixes for v4 ABI
     compatibility
   - Lots of cleanups / quirks for Intel platforms based on Realtek
     CODECs
   - Continued componentization works, removing legacy CODEC stuff
   - Conversion of OMAP DMA to the new, more standard SDMA-PCM driver
   - Fixes and updates to Cirrus Logic SoC drivers
   - New Qualcomm DSP support
   - New drivers for Analog SSM2305, Atmel I2S controllers, Mediatek
     MT6351, MT6797 and MT7622, Qualcomm DSPs, Realtek RT1305, RT1306
     and RT5668 and TI TSCS454

  HD-audio:
   - Finally better support for some CA0132 boards, allowing Windows
     firmware
   - HP Spectre x360 support along with a bulk of COEF stuff
   - Blacklisting power save default some known boards reported on
     Fedora

  USB-audio:
   - Continued improvements on UAC3 support; now BADD is supported
   - Fixes / improvements for Dell WD15 dock
   - Allow DMA coherent pages for PCM buffers for ARCH, MIPS & co

  Others:
   - New Xen sound frontend driver support
   - Cache implementation and other improvements for FireWire DICE
   - Conversions to octal permissions in allover places"

     Quirk alias list, pass strings like ``0123abcd:5678beef``, which
     applies the existing quirk for the device 5678:beef to a new
     device 0123:abcd.
+use_vmalloc
+    Use vmalloc() for allocations of the PCM buffers (default: yes).
+    For architectures with non-coherent memory like ARM or MIPS, the
+    mmap access may give inconsistent results with vmalloc'ed
+    buffers.  If mmap is used on such architectures, turn off this
+    option, so that the DMA-coherent buffers are allocated and used
+    instead.
 
 This module supports multiple devices, autoprobe and hotplugging.
