Merge tag 'acpi-5.5-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm
Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki: "These update the ACPICA code in the kernel to upstream revision 20191018, add support for EFI specific purpose memory, update the ACPI EC driver to make it work on systems with hardware-reduced ACPI, improve ACPI-based device enumeration for some platforms, rework the lid blacklist handling in the button driver and add more lid quirks to it, unify ACPI _HID/_UID matching, fix assorted issues and clean up the code and documentation. Specifics: - Update the ACPICA code in the kernel to upstream revision 20191018 including: * Fixes for Clang warnings (Bob Moore) * Fix for possible overflow in get_tick_count() (Bob Moore) * Introduction of acpi_unload_table() (Bob Moore) * Debugger and utilities updates (Erik Schmauss) * Fix for unloading tables loaded via configfs (Nikolaus Voss) - Add support for EFI specific purpose memory to optionally allow either application-exclusive or core-kernel-mm managed access to differentiated memory (Dan Williams) - Fix and clean up processing of the HMAT table (Brice Goglin, Qian Cai, Tao Xu) - Update the ACPI EC driver to make it work on systems with hardware-reduced ACPI (Daniel Drake) - Always build in support for the Generic Event Device (GED) to allow one kernel binary to work both on systems with full hardware ACPI and hardware-reduced ACPI (Arjan van de Ven) - Fix the table unload mechanism to unregister platform devices created when the given table was loaded (Andy Shevchenko) - Rework the lid blacklist handling in the button driver and add more lid quirks to it (Hans de Goede) - Improve ACPI-based device enumeration for some platforms based on Intel BayTrail SoCs (Hans de Goede) - Add an OpRegion driver for the Cherry Trail Crystal Cove PMIC and prevent handlers from being registered for unhandled PMIC OpRegions (Hans de Goede) - Unify ACPI _HID/_UID matching (Andy Shevchenko) - Clean up documentation and comments (Cao jin, James Pack, Kacper PiwiƄski)" * tag 'acpi-5.5-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (52 commits) ACPI: OSI: Shoot duplicate word ACPI: HMAT: use %u instead of %d to print u32 values ACPI: NUMA: HMAT: fix a section mismatch ACPI: HMAT: don't mix pxm and nid when setting memory target processor_pxm ACPI: NUMA: HMAT: Register "soft reserved" memory as an "hmem" device ACPI: NUMA: HMAT: Register HMAT at device_initcall level device-dax: Add a driver for "hmem" devices dax: Fix alloc_dax_region() compile warning lib: Uplevel the pmem "region" ida to a global allocator x86/efi: Add efi_fake_mem support for EFI_MEMORY_SP arm/efi: EFI soft reservation to memblock x86/efi: EFI soft reservation to E820 enumeration efi: Common enable/disable infrastructure for EFI soft reservation x86/efi: Push EFI_MEMMAP check into leaf routines efi: Enumerate EFI_MEMORY_SP ACPI: NUMA: Establish a new drivers/acpi/numa/ directory ACPICA: Update version to 20191018 ACPICA: debugger: remove leading whitespaces when converting a string to a buffer ACPICA: acpiexec: initialize all simple types and field units from user input ACPICA: debugger: add field unit support for acpi_db_get_next_token ...
