mainlining shenanigans

A client in the SOF (Sound Open Firmware) context is a driver that needs to communicate with the DSP via IPC messages. The SOF core is responsible for serializing the IPC messages to the DSP from the different clients. One example of an SOF client would be an IPC test client that floods the DSP with test IPC messages to validate if the serialization works as expected. Multi-client support will also add the ability to split the existing audio cards into multiple ones, so as to e.g. to deal with HDMI with a dedicated client instead of adding HDMI to all cards. This patch introduces descriptors for SOF client driver and SOF client device along with APIs for registering and unregistering a SOF client driver, sending IPCs from a client device and accessing the SOF core debugfs root entry. Along with this, add a couple of new members to struct snd_sof_dev that will be used for maintaining the list of clients.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
