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"

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:
* This source code. This is necessarily an evolving work, and
includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
"gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.) Also, Documentation/usb has
more information.
* The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".
* Chip specifications for USB controllers. Examples include
host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.
* Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
functions. Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.
Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.
core/ - This is for the core USB host code, including the
usbfs files and the hub class driver ("hub_wq").
host/ - This is for USB host controller drivers. This
includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.
gadget/ - This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
the various gadget drivers which talk to them.
Individual USB driver directories. A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.
image/ - This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
digital cameras.
../input/ - This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/ - This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
subsystem.
../net/ - This is for network drivers.
serial/ - This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/ - This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories, and work for a range
of USB Class specified devices.
misc/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories.
