Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"These update the ACPICA code in the kernel to follow upstream revision
20180313 which includes fixes related to the so-called module-level
AML (mostly "if" type of statements outside of any methods) that
should improve the handling of systems that load alternative SSDTs
depending on the current configuration, for example, and event
handling fixes related to disabling and enabling GPEs on system
startup and on suspend/resume.
Moreover, the ACPICA license boilerplate is replaced with SPDX license
IDs which alone reduces the number of lines of ACPICA code in the
kernel quite a bit.
Also added is a new driver for the generic ACPI Time and Alarm Device
(TAD). At the moment it only handles the most basic capabilities of
the TAD, however.
In addition to that the ACPI battery driver is improved to handle
battery thresholds on ThinkPads, among other things, some bugs are
fixed, a new backlight quirk is added and some documentation is
updated.
Specifics:
- Update the in-kernel ACPICA code to upstream revision 20180313
including:
* Module-level AML code handling fixes and simplifications (Bob
Moore, Erik Schmauss).
* Fixes and cleanups related to messaging (Bob Moore).
* Events handling fixes related to disabling and enabling GPEs
(Erik Schmauss).
* Introduction of SPDX license identifiers and removal of license
boilerplate in multiple files (Erik Schmauss).
* Assorted fixes and cleanups (Bob Moore, Erik Schmauss, Hans de
Goede, Seunghun Han).
- Add new basic driver for the ACPI Time and Alarm Device (Rafael
Wysocki).
- Modify the ACPI battery driver to support battery thresholds on
Lenovo ThinkPads (Ognjen Galic, Colin Ian King).
- Avoid reporting battery capacity over 100 in the ACPI battery
driver in some cases (Laszlo Toth).
- Make the kernel recognize an OEM _OSI string from Dell to avoid
power management issues with NVidia GPUs in Dell platforms (Alex
Hung).
- Make the PCI IRQ management code handle missing _PRS cleanly (Alex
Hung).
- Fix uevent notifications related to device hotplut (Lee, Chun-Yi).
- Prevent the ACPI PAD driver from leaking memory (Lenny Szubowicz).
- Update the ACPI CPPC library code to include subspace IDs in the
kernel messages logged by it (George Cherian).
- Add backlight quirk for Samsung 670Z5E (Hans de Goede).
- Add the NFIT and HMAT tables to the list of ACPI tables that can be
overridden via initrd (Dan Williams).
- Fix and clean up some ACPI documentation and Kconfig help language
(Aishwarya Pant, Randy Dunlap).
- Replace license boilerplate with an SPDX license ID in the ACPI
PMIC operation region handling code (Rajmohan Mani)"
