Linus Torvalds 67990608c8 Power management and ACPI updates for v4.5-rc1
- Add a debugfs-based interface for interacting with the ACPICA's
    AML debugger introduced in the previous cycle and a new user
    space tool for that, fix some bugs related to the AML debugger
    and clean up the code in question (Lv Zheng, Dan Carpenter,
    Colin Ian King, Markus Elfring).
 
  - Update ACPICA to upstream revision 20151218 including a number
    of fixes and cleanups in the ACPICA core (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng,
    Labbe Corentin, Prarit Bhargava, Colin Ian King, David E Box,
    Rafael Wysocki).
 
    In particular, the previously added erroneous support for the
    _SUB object is dropped, the concatenate operator will support
    all ACPI objects now, the Debug Object handling is improved,
    the SuperName handling of parameters being control methods is
    fixed, the ObjectType operator handling is updated to follow
    ACPI 5.0A and the handling of CondRefOf and RefOf is updated
    accordingly, module-level code will be executed after loading
    each ACPI table now (instead of being run once after all tables
    containing AML have been loaded), the Operation Region handlers
    management is updated to fix some reported problems and a the
    ACPICA code in the kernel is more in line with the upstream
    now.
 
  - Update the ACPI backlight driver to provide information on
    whether or not it will generate key-presses for brightness
    change hotkeys and update some platform drivers (dell-wmi,
    thinkpad_acpi) to use that information to avoid sending double
    key-events to users pace for these, add new ACPI backlight
    quirks (Hans de Goede, Aaron Lu, Adrien Schildknecht).
 
  - Improve the ACPI handling of interrupt GPIOs (Christophe Ricard).
 
  - Fix the handling of the list of device IDs of device objects
    found in the ACPI namespace and add a helper for checking if
    there is a device object for a given device ID (Lukas Wunner).
 
  - Change the logic in the ACPI namespace scanning code to create
    struct acpi_device objects for all ACPI device objects found in
    the namespace even if _STA fails for them which helps to avoid
    device enumeration problems on Microsoft Surface 3 (Aaron Lu).
 
  - Add support for the APM X-Gene ACPI I2C device to the ACPI
    driver for AMD SoCs (Loc Ho).
 
  - Fix the long-standing issue with the DMA controller on Intel
    SoCs where ACPI tables have no power management support for
    the DMA controller itself, but it can be powered off automatically
    when the last (other) device on the SoC is powered off via ACPI
    and clean up the ACPI driver for Intel SoCs (acpi-lpss) after
    previous attempts to fix that problem (Andy Shevchenko).
 
  - Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups (Andy Lutomirski, Colin Ian King,
    Javier Martinez Canillas, Ken Xue, Mathias Krause, Rafael Wysocki,
    Sinan Kaya).
 
  - Update the device properties framework for better handling of
    built-in properties, add support for built-in properties to
    the platform bus type, update the MFD subsystem's handling
    of device properties and add support for passing default
    configuration data as device properties to the intel-lpss MFD
    drivers, convert the designware I2C driver to use the unified
    device properties API and add a fallback mechanism for using
    default built-in properties if the platform firmware fails
    to provide the properties as expected by drivers (Andy Shevchenko,
    Mika Westerberg, Heikki Krogerus, Andrew Morton).
 
  - Add new Device Tree bindings to the Operating Performance Points
    (OPP) framework and update the exynos4412 DT binding accordingly,
    introduce debugfs support for the OPP framework (Viresh Kumar,
    Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz).
 
  - Migrate the mt8173 cpufreq driver to the new OPP bindings
    (Pi-Cheng Chen).
 
  - Update the cpufreq core to make the handling of governors
    more efficient, especially on systems where policy objects
    are shared between multiple CPUs (Viresh Kumar, Rafael Wysocki).
 
  - Fix cpufreq governor handling on configurations with
    CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC set (Chen Yu).
 
  - Clean up the cpufreq core code related to the boost sysfs knob
    support and update the ACPI cpufreq driver accordingly (Rafael
    Wysocki).
 
  - Add a new cpufreq driver for ST platforms and corresponding
    Device Tree bindings (Lee Jones).
 
  - Update the intel_pstate driver to allow the P-state selection
    algorithm used by it to depend on the CPU ID of the processor it
    is running on, make it use a special P-state selection algorithm
    (with an IO wait time compensation tweak) on Atom CPUs based on
    the Airmont and Silvermont cores so as to reduce their energy
    consumption and improve intel_pstate documentation (Philippe
    Longepe, Srinivas Pandruvada).
 
  - Update the cpufreq-dt driver to support registering cooling
    devices that use the (P * V^2 * f) dynamic power draw formula
    where V is the voltage, f is the frequency and P is a constant
    coefficient provided by Device Tree and update the arm_big_little
    cpufreq driver to use that support (Punit Agrawal).
 
  - Assorted cpufreq driver (cpufreq-dt, qoriq, pcc-cpufreq,
    blackfin-cpufreq) updates (Andrzej Hajda, Hongtao Jia,
    Jacob Tanenbaum, Markus Elfring).
 
  - cpuidle core tweaks related to polling and measured_us
    calculation (Rik van Riel).
 
  - Removal of modularity from a few cpuidle drivers (clps711x,
    ux500, exynos) that cannot be built as modules in practice
    (Paul Gortmaker).
 
  - PM core update to prevent devices from being probed during
    system suspend/resume which is generally problematic and may
    lead to inconsistent behavior (Grygorii Strashko).
 
  - Assorted updates of the PM core and related code (Julia Lawall,
    Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard, Maruthi Bayyavarapu, Rafael Wysocki,
    Ulf Hansson).
 
  - PNP bus type updates (Christophe Le Roy, Heiner Kallweit).
 
  - PCI PM code cleanups (Jarkko Nikula, Julia Lawall).
 
  - cpupower tool updates (Jacob Tanenbaum, Thomas Renninger).

Merge tag 'pm+acpi-4.5-rc1-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm

Pull oower management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "As far as the number of commits goes, ACPICA takes the lead this time,
  followed by cpufreq and the device properties framework changes.

  The most significant new feature is the debugfs-based interface to the
  ACPICA's AML debugger added in the previous cycle and a new user space
  tool for accessing it.

  On the cpufreq front, the core is updated to handle governors more
  efficiently, particularly on systems where a single cpufreq policy
  object is shared between multiple CPUs, and there are quite a few
  changes in drivers (intel_pstate, cpufreq-dt etc).

  The device properties framework is updated to handle built-in (ie
  included in the kernel itself) device properties better, among other
  things by adding a fallback mechanism that will allow drivers to
  provide default properties to be used in case the plaform firmware
  doesn't provide the properties expected by them.

  The Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework gets new DT bindings
  and debugfs support.

  A new cpufreq driver for ST platforms is added and the ACPI driver for
  AMD SoCs will now support the APM X-Gene ACPI I2C device.

  The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups all over.

  Specifics:

   - Add a debugfs-based interface for interacting with the ACPICA's AML
     debugger introduced in the previous cycle and a new user space tool
     for that, fix some bugs related to the AML debugger and clean up
     the code in question (Lv Zheng, Dan Carpenter, Colin Ian King,
