Merge tag 'asoc-v5.12' of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound into for-linus
ASoC: Updates for v5.12 Another quiet release in terms of features, though several of the drivers got quite a bit of work and there were a lot of general changes resulting from Morimoto-san's ongoing cleanup work. - As ever, lots of hard work by Morimoto-san cleaning up the code and making it more consistent. - Many improvements in the Intel drivers including a wide range of quirks and bug fixes. - A KUnit testsuite for the topology code. - Support for Ingenic JZ4760(B), Intel AlderLake-P, DT configured nVidia cards, Qualcomm lpass-rx-macro and lpass-tx-macro - Removal of obsolete SIRF prima/atlas, Txx9 and ZTE zx drivers.

This section covers ``SYM_FUNC_*`` and ``SYM_CODE_*`` enumerated above.
+``objtool`` requires that all code must be contained in an ELF symbol. Symbol
+names that have a ``.L`` prefix do not emit symbol table entries. ``.L``
+prefixed symbols can be used within a code region, but should be avoided for
+denoting a range of code via ``SYM_*_START/END`` annotations.

* ``SYM_FUNC_START`` and ``SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL`` are supposed to be **the
most frequent markings**. They are used for functions with standard calling
conventions -- global and local. Like in C, they both align the functions to
