Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
 "Unsurprisingly, we've had a fairly busy development cycle with various
  fixes and enhancements. While the majority of changes consist of
  device-specific fixes, a significant number of cleanups, hardening,
  and modernizations have been applied to the core frameworks as well.

  Below are some highlights:

  ALSA Core:
   - Hardening, race condition, and UAF/leak fixes in the ALSA timer and
     sequencer cores
   - Widespread adoption of flexible array members across core
     structures
   - Integration of new simple refcount helper functions to simplify
     code

  ASoC Core:
   - Introduction of a unified SoundWire enumeration helper to clean up
     redundant device initialization across codecs
   - Enhancements to SDCA support, including handling devices with
     multiple functions of the same type and proper jack reporting masks
   - Continued refactoring of ASoC component debugfs and DAPM structures
   - Simplification and improvements to the format auto-selection
     mechanism
   - Added shared BCLK rate constraints for cross-DAI coordination

  ASoC Platforms & Codecs:
   - Initial bring-up and power management support for AMD ACP 7.x
   - Support for Everest Semi ES9356 (SDCA), Mediatek MT2701 (on-chip
     HDMI) and MT8196 SoCs, Renesas RZ/G3E, SpacemiT K3, and TI
     TAC5xx2/TAS67524
   - Added a new generic driver for GPIO-driven amplifiers
   - Continued mass conversion of locking code to guard() helpers across
     numerous platform drivers (MediaTek, Rockchip, STM32, Samsung, etc)
   - Cleanup of legacy non-DT platform data and rollbacks for obsolete
     SH Ecovec24/7724se boards

  HD- and USB-Audio:
   - Device-specific hardware quirks and fixes for various Realtek
     HD-Audio devices (Lenovo, HP, ASUS, Acer, Clevo)
   - Refinements to Qualcomm USB-audio offloading support
   - Front-panel controls and autogain status support for Scarlett Gen 4
   - Quirks for XIBERIA (K03S), Sennheiser (MOMENTUM 3), Edifier
     (MF200), Novation (Mininova), and Behringer (Flow 8) USB-audio
     devices
   - Improved robustness by rolling back or propagating write errors to
     the mixer control caches (Babyface Pro, US-16x08, Scarlett)

  Others:
   - Support for the HT-Omega eClaro PCI sound card in the Oxygen driver
   - Robustness improvements and fixes for Virtio-audio, Xen-front, and
     legacy OSS dmasound drivers"
