ACPI and power management updates for 3.14-rc1

 - ACPI core changes to make it create a struct acpi_device object for every
   device represented in the ACPI tables during all namespace scans regardless
   of the current status of that device.  In accordance with this, ACPI hotplug
   operations will not delete those objects, unless the underlying ACPI tables
   go away.

 - On top of the above, new sysfs attribute for ACPI device objects allowing
   user space to check device status by triggering the execution of _STA for
   its ACPI object.  From Srinivas Pandruvada.

 - ACPI core hotplug changes reducing code duplication, integrating the
   PCI root hotplug with the core and reworking container hotplug.

 - ACPI core simplifications making it use ACPI_COMPANION() in the code
   "glueing" ACPI device objects to "physical" devices.

 - ACPICA update to upstream version 20131218.  This adds support for the
   DBG2 and PCCT tables to ACPICA, fixes some bugs and improves debug
   facilities.  From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng and Betty Dall.

 - Init code change to carry out the early ACPI initialization earlier.
   That should allow us to use ACPI during the timekeeping initialization
   and possibly to simplify the EFI initialization too.  From Chun-Yi Lee.

 - Clenups of the inclusions of ACPI headers in many places all over from
   Lv Zheng and Rashika Kheria (work in progress).

 - New helper for ACPI _DSM execution and rework of the code in drivers
   that uses _DSM to execute it via the new helper.  From Jiang Liu.

 - New Win8 OSI blacklist entries from Takashi Iwai.

 - Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups from Al Stone, Emil Goode, Hanjun Guo,
   Lan Tianyu, Masanari Iida, Oliver Neukum, Prarit Bhargava, Rashika Kheria,
   Tang Chen, Zhang Rui.

 - intel_pstate driver updates, including proper Baytrail support, from
   Dirk Brandewie and intel_pstate documentation from Ramkumar Ramachandra.

 - Generic CPU boost ("turbo") support for cpufreq from Lukasz Majewski.

 - powernow-k6 cpufreq driver fixes from Mikulas Patocka.

 - cpufreq core fixes and cleanups from Viresh Kumar, Jane Li, Mark Brown.

 - Assorted cpufreq drivers fixes and cleanups from Anson Huang, John Tobias,
   Paul Bolle, Paul Walmsley, Sachin Kamat, Shawn Guo, Viresh Kumar.

 - cpuidle cleanups from Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz.

 - Support for hibernation APM events from Bin Shi.

 - Hibernation fix to avoid bringing up nonboot CPUs with ACPI EC disabled
   during thaw transitions from Bjørn Mork.

 - PM core fixes and cleanups from Ben Dooks, Leonardo Potenza, Ulf Hansson.

 - PNP subsystem fixes and cleanups from Dmitry Torokhov, Levente Kurusa,
   Rashika Kheria.

 - New tool for profiling system suspend from Todd E Brandt and a cpupower
   tool cleanup from One Thousand Gnomes.

Linux 3.13

Last-minute ACPI fix for 3.13

This reverts a commit that causes the Alan Cox' ASUS T100TA to "crash
and burn" during boot if the Baytrail pinctrl driver is compiled in.

This is the 3.12.8 stable release

This is the 3.10.27 stable release

This is the 3.4.77 stable release

Linux 3.13-rc8

ACPI and power management fixes for 3.13-rc8

- Recent commits modifying the lists of C-states in the intel_idle
  driver introduced bugs leading to crashes on some systems.  Two
  fixes from Jiang Liu.

- The ACPI AC driver should receive all types of notifications, but
  recent change made it ignore some of them.  Fix from Alexander Mezin.

- intel_pstate's validity checks for MSRs it depends on are not
  sufficient to catch the lack of support in nested KVM setups, so
  they are extended to cover that case.  From Dirk Brandewie.

- NEC LZ750/LS has a botched up _BIX method in its ACPI tables, so our
  ACPI battery driver needs a quirk for it.  From Lan Tianyu.

- The tpm_ppi driver sometimes leaks memory allocated by acpi_get_name().
  Fix from Jiang Liu.

This is the 3.12.7 stable release

This is the 3.10.26 stable release

omapdrm patches for 3.14

Third round of new drivers, features and cleanups for IIO in the 3.14 cycle.

One new driver a spot of new functionality and a cleanup.

* New driver for the Capella CM32181 ambient light sensor. This is the first
  driver directly from Kevin at Capella with more already in the pipeline.
* Support for configurable predividers on the mxs lradc
* Convert a field to a bitmap in mxs lradc instead of using an array of
  unsigned longs to store boolean values.

This is the 3.4.76 stable release

Second round of core additions for the Allwinner SoCs

Fixes to select missing configuration options, and update of the maintainer
file.

Second round of DT additions for 3.14

Mostly:
  - Addition of the missing PLLs and module clocks
  - Addition of the external clocks
  - Addition of the touchscreen controler
  - I2C nodes of the Cubietruck

Linux 3.13-rc7

ACPI and power management fixes and new device IDs for 3.13-rc7

- VGA switcheroo was broken for some users as a result of the ACPI-based
  PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) changes in 3.12, because some previously ignored
  hotplug events started to be handled.  The fix causes them to be
  ignored again.

- There are two more issues related to cpufreq's suspend/resume handling
  changes from the 3.12 cycle addressed by Viresh Kumar's fixes.

- intel_pstate triggers a divide error in a timer function if the P-state
  information it needs is missing during initialization.  This leads to
  kernel panics on nested KVM clients and is fixed by failing the
  initialization cleanly in those cases.

- PCI initalization code changes during the 3.9 cycle uncovered BIOS
  issues related to ACPI wakeup notifications (some BIOSes send them
  for devices that aren't supposed to support ACPI wakeup).  Work around
  them by installing an ACPI wakeup notify handler for all PCI devices
  with ACPI support.

- The Calxeda cpuilde driver's probe function is tagged as __init, which
  is incorrect and causes a section mismatch to occur during build.  Fix
  from Andre Przywara removes the __init tag from there.

- During the 3.12 cycle ACPIPHP started to print warnings about missing
  _ADR for devices that legitimately don't have it.  Fix from Toshi Kani
  makes it only print the warnings where they make sense.
