mainlining shenanigans

For SoundWire support, we added a 'link_mask' to describe the PCB hardware layout. This helped form a signature that can be used as a first-order way of detecting the hardware and selecting the machine driver. The concept of link_mask is however not enough. Some BIOS enable all links, even when there are no devices physically connected. We can also see variations with multiple devices attached on one link, or different types of devices connected on the same link. To accurately represent the hardware, we need to build static tables where each link exposes a list of expected devices represented by the 64-bit _ADR field (which uniquely identifies each device). The new 'links' field is optional when the link_mask is sufficient to represent a platform in a unique way. The existing mechanism to support I2C devices is left as is, it'd be too invasive to change the existing support for _HID and the notion of link is not relevant either.

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.
