ASoC: Fixes for v6.18

A moderately large collection of driver specific fixes, plus a few new
quirks and device IDs. The NAU8821 changes are a little large but more
in mechanical ways than in ways that are complex.

Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v6.18-1-2025-10-08' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools

Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

- Extended 'perf annotate' with DWARF type information
(--code-with-type) integration in the TUI, including a 'T'
hotkey to toggle it

- Enhanced 'perf bench mem' with new mmap() workloads and control
over page/chunk sizes

- Fix 'perf stat' error handling to correctly display unsupported
events

- Improved support for Clang cross-compilation

- Refactored LLVM and Capstone disasm for modularity

- Introduced the :X modifier to exclude an event from automatic
regrouping

- Adjusted KVM sampling defaults to use the "cycles" event to prevent
failures

- Added comprehensive support for decoding PowerPC Dispatch Trace Log
(DTL)

- Updated Arm SPE tracing logic for better analysis of memory and snoop
details

- Synchronized Intel PMU events and metrics with TMA 5.1 across
multiple processor generations

- Converted dependencies like libperl and libtracefs to be opt-in

- Handle more Rust symbols in kallsyms ('N', debugging)

- Improve the python binding to allow for python based tools to use
more of the libraries, add a 'ilist' utility to test those new
bindings

- Various 'perf test' fixes

- Kan Liang no longer a perf tools reviewer

perf test: Extend branch stack sampling test for Arm64 BRBE

BRBE emits IRQ and ERET branches for branching and returning from
trapped instructions. Add a test that loops on a trapped instruction
(MRS - Read special register) for this.

Extend the expected 'any_call' branches to include FAULT_DATA and
FAULT_INST as these are emitted by BRBE.
