USB SS and SSP hubs provide wHubDelay values on their hub descriptor
which we should inform the USB Device about.

The USB Specification 3.0 explains, on section 9.4.11, how to
calculate the value and how to issue the request. Note that a
USB_REQ_SET_ISOCH_DELAY is valid on all device states (Default,
Address, Configured), we just *chose* to issue it from Address state
right after successfully fetching the USB Device Descriptor.

<title>USB: remove the URB_NO_FSBR flag</title>

<content type='text'>
The URB_NO_FSBR flag has never really been used.  It was introduced as
a potential way for UHCI to minimize PCI bus usage (by not attempting
full-speed bulk and control transfers more than once per frame), but
the flag was not set by any drivers.

There's no point in keeping it around.  This patch simplifies the API
by removing it.  Unfortunately, it does have to be kept as part of the
usbfs ABI, but at least we can document in
include/uapi/linux/usbdevice_fs.h that it doesn't do anything.

Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
 "There are no big surprising changes in this cycle, yet not too boring,
  either. The biggest change from diffstat POV is the removal of the
  legacy OSS driver codes that have been already disabled for a long
  time. This will bring a few trivial merge conflicts.

  As new features in ASoC side, there are two things: a new AC97 bus
  implementation and AMD Stony platform support. Both include the
  relevant changes shared with other subsystems, e.g. AC97 MFD changes
  and DRM AMD changes.

  Some other highlighted topics are:

   - A bunch of USB-audio drivers got the hardening against the
     malicious device accesses with a new helper code for endpoint
     sanity check

   - Lots of cleanups for ASoC Intel platform code, including support
     for their open source audio firmware

   - Continued ASoC core componentization works

   - Support for scaling MCLK with sample rate in ASoC simple-card

   - Stabler PCM hot-unplug capability, especially for ASoC usages"

ASoC: Updates for v4.15

The biggest thing this release has been the conversion of the AC98 bus
to the driver model, that's been a long time coming so thanks to Robert
Jarzmik for his dedication there.  Due to there being some AC97 MFD
there's a few fairly large changes in input and the MFD layer, mainly to
the wm97xx driver.

There's also some drivers/drm changes to support the new AMD Stoney
platform, these are shared with the DRM subsystem and should be being
merged via both.

Within the subsystem the overwhelming bulk of the changes is in the
Intel drivers which continue to need lots of cleanups and fixes, this
release they've also gained support for their open source firmware.
There's also some large changs in the core as Morimoto-san continues to
mirror operations into the component level in preparation for conversion
of drivers to that.

 - The AC97 bus has finally caught up with the driver model thanks to
   some dedicated and persistent work from Robert Jarzmik.
 - Continued work from Morimoto-san on moving us towards being able to
   use components for everything.
 - Lots of cleanups for the Intel platform code, including support for
   their open source audio firmware.
 - Support for scaling MCLK with sample rate in simple-card.
 - Support for AMD Stoney platform.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
