    Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
     "The rework of backlight interface selection API from Hans de Goede
      stands out from the number of commits and the number of affected
      places perspective.  The cpufreq core fixes from Viresh Kumar are
      quite significant too as far as the number of commits goes and because
      they should reduce CPU online/offline overhead quite a bit in the
      majority of cases.
    
      From the new featues point of view, the ACPICA update (to upstream
      revision 20150515) adding support for new ACPI 6 material to ACPICA is
      the one that matters the most as some new significant features will be
      based on it going forward.  Also included is an update of the ACPI
      device power management core to follow ACPI 6 (which in turn reflects
      the Windows' device PM implementation), a PM core extension to support
      wakeup interrupts in a more generic way and support for the ACPI _CCA
      device configuration object.
    
      The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups all over and some documentation
      updates, including new DT bindings for Operating Performance Points.
    
      There is one fix for a regression introduced in the 4.1 cycle, but it
      adds quite a number of lines of code, it wasn't really ready before
      Thursday and you were on vacation, so I refrained from pushing it on
      the last minute for 4.1.
    
      Specifics:
    
       - ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150515 including basic support
         for ACPI 6 features: new ACPI tables introduced by ACPI 6 (STAO,
         XENV, WPBT, NFIT, IORT), changes related to the other tables (DTRM,
         FADT, LPIT, MADT), new predefined names (_BTH, _CR3, _DSD, _LPI,
         _MTL, _PRR, _RDI, _RST, _TFP, _TSN), fixes and cleanups (Bob Moore,
         Lv Zheng).
    
       - ACPI device power management core code update to follow ACPI 6
         which reflects the ACPI device power management implementation in
         Windows (Rafael J Wysocki).
    
       - rework of the backlight interface selection logic to reduce the
         number of kernel command line options and improve the handling of
         DMI quirks that may be involved in that and to make the code
         generally more straightforward (Hans de Goede).
    
       - fixes for the ACPI Embedded Controller (EC) driver related to the
         handling of EC transactions (Lv Zheng).
    
       - fix for a regression related to the ACPI resources management and
         resulting from a recent change of ACPI initialization code ordering
         (Rafael J Wysocki).
    
       - fix for a system initialization regression related to ACPI
         introduced during the 3.14 cycle and caused by running the code
         that switches the platform over to the ACPI mode too early in the
         initialization sequence (Rafael J Wysocki).
    
       - support for the ACPI _CCA device configuration object related to
         DMA cache coherence (Suravee Suthikulpanit).
    
       - ACPI/APEI fixes and cleanups (Jiri Kosina, Borislav Petkov).
    
       - ACPI battery driver cleanups (Luis Henriques, Mathias Krause).
    
       - ACPI processor driver cleanups (Hanjun Guo).
    
       - cleanups and documentation update related to the ACPI device
         properties interface based on _DSD (Rafael J Wysocki).
    
       - ACPI device power management fixes (Rafael J Wysocki).
    
       - assorted cleanups related to ACPI (Dominik Brodowski, Fabian
         Frederick, Lorenzo Pieralisi, Mathias Krause, Rafael J Wysocki).
    
       - fix for a long-standing issue causing General Protection Faults to
         be generated occasionally on return to user space after resume from
         ACPI-based suspend-to-RAM on 32-bit x86 (Ingo Molnar).
    
       - fix to make the suspend core code return -EBUSY consistently in all
         cases when system suspend is aborted due to wakeup detection (Ruchi
         Kandoi).
    
       - support for automated device wakeup IRQ handling allowing drivers
         to make their PM support more starightforward (Tony Lindgren).
    
       - new tracepoints for suspend-to-idle tracing and rework of the
         prepare/complete callbacks tracing in the PM core (Todd E Brandt,
         Rafael J Wysocki).
    
       - wakeup sources framework enhancements (Jin Qian).
    
       - new macro for noirq system PM callbacks (Grygorii Strashko).
    
       - assorted cleanups related to system suspend (Rafael J Wysocki).
    
       - cpuidle core cleanups to make the code more efficient (Rafael J
         Wysocki).
    
       - powernv/pseries cpuidle driver update (Shilpasri G Bhat).
    
       - cpufreq core fixes related to CPU online/offline that should reduce
         the overhead of these operations quite a bit, unless the CPU in
         question is physically going away (Viresh Kumar, Saravana Kannan).
    
       - serialization of cpufreq governor callbacks to avoid race
         conditions in some cases (Viresh Kumar).
    
       - intel_pstate driver fixes and cleanups (Doug Smythies, Prarit
         Bhargava, Joe Konno).
    
       - cpufreq driver (arm_big_little, cpufreq-dt, qoriq) updates (Sudeep
         Holla, Felipe Balbi, Tang Yuantian).
    
       - assorted cleanups in cpufreq drivers and core (Shailendra Verma,
         Fabian Frederick, Wang Long).
    
       - new Device Tree bindings for representing Operating Performance
         Points (Viresh Kumar).
    
       - updates for the common clock operations support code in the PM core
         (Rajendra Nayak, Geert Uytterhoeven).
    
       - PM domains core code update (Geert Uytterhoeven).
    
       - Intel Knights Landing support for the RAPL (Running Average Power
         Limit) power capping driver (Dasaratharaman Chandramouli).
    
       - fixes related to the floor frequency setting on Atom SoCs in the
         RAPL power capping driver (Ajay Thomas).
    
       - runtime PM framework documentation update (Ben Dooks).
    
       - cpupower tool fix (Herton R Krzesinski)"
