Linus Torvalds 46c1345062 ACPI material for v4.7-rc1
- In-kernel ACPICA code update to the upstream release 20160422
    adding support for ACPI 6.1 along with some previously missing
    bits of ACPI 6.0 support, making a fair amount of fixes and
    cleanups and reducing divergences between the upstream ACPICA
    and the in-kernel code (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, Al Stone, Aleksey
    Makarov, Will Miles).
 
  - ACPI Generic Event Device (GED) support and a fix for it (Sinan Kaya,
    Paul Gortmaker).
 
  - INT3406 thermal driver for display thermal management and ACPI
    backlight support code reorganization related to it (Aaron Lu,
    Arnd Bergmann).
 
  - Support for exporting the value returned by the _HRV (hardware
    revision) ACPI object via sysfs (Betty Dall).
 
  - Removal of the EXPERT dependency for ACPI on ARM64 (Mark Brown).
 
  - Rework of the handling of ACPI _OSI mechanism allowing the
    _OSI("Darwin") support to be overridden from the kernel command
    line among other things (Lv Zheng, Chen Yu).
 
  - Rework of the ACPI tables override mechanism to prepare it for
    the introduction of overlays support going forward (Lv Zheng,
    Rafael Wysocki).
 
  - Fixes related to the ECDT support and module-level execution
    of AML (Lv Zheng).
 
  - ACPI PCI interrupts management update to make it work better on
    ARM64 mostly (Sinan Kaya).
 
  - ACPI SRAT handling update to make the code process all entires
    in the table order regardless of the entry type (Lukasz Anaczkowski).
 
  - EFI power off support for full-hardware ACPI platforms that don't
    support ACPI S5 (Chen Yu).
 
  - Fixes and cleanups related to the ACPI core's sysfs interface
    (Dan Carpenter, Betty Dall).
 
  - acpi_dev_present() API rework to reduce possible confusion related
    to it (Lukas Wunner).
 
  - Removal of CLK_IS_ROOT from two ACPI drivers (Stephen Boyd).

Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The new features here are ACPI 6.1 support (and some previously
  missing bits of ACPI 6.0 support) in ACPICA and two new drivers, a
  driver for the ACPI Generic Event Device (GED) feature introduced by
  ACPI 6.1 and the INT3406 thermal driver for display thermal
  management.  Also the value returned by the _HRV (hardware revision)
  ACPI object will be exported to user space via sysfs now.

  In addition to that, ACPI on ARM64 will not depend on EXPERT any more.

  The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups and some code reorganization.

  Specifics:
