wireless-drivers-next patches for 4.16

The most important here is the ssb fix, it has been reported by the
users frequently and the fix just missed the final v4.15. Also
numerous other fixes, mt76 had multiple problems with aggregation and
a long standing unaligned access bug in rtlwifi is finally fixed.

Major changes:

ath10k

* correct firmware RAM dump length for QCA6174/QCA9377

* add new QCA988X device id

* fix a kernel panic during pci probe

* revert a recent commit which broke ath10k firmware metadata parsing

ath9k

* fix a noise floor regression introduced during the merge window

* add new device id

rtlwifi

* fix unaligned access seen on ARM architecture

mt76

* various aggregation fixes which fix connection stalls

ssb

* fix b43 and b44 on non-MIPS which broke in v4.15-rc9

More ACPI updates for v4.16-rc1

 - Update the ACPICA kernel code to upstream revision 20180105 including:

   * Update of ACPICA copyrights to 2018 (Bob Moore).

 - Prepare for future modifications to avoid executing the _STA control
   method too early (Hans de Goede).

 - Make the processor performance control library code ignore _PPC
   notifications if they cannot be handled and fix up the C1 idle
   state definition when it is used as a fallback state (Chen Yu,
   Yazen Ghannam).

 - Make it possible to use the SPCR table on x86 and to replace the
   original IORT table with a new one from initrd (Prarit Bhargava,
   Shunyong Yang).

 - Add battery-related quirks for Asus UX360UA and UX410UAK and add
   quirks for table parsing on Dell XPS 9570 and Precision M5530
   (Kai Heng Feng).

 - Address static checker warnings in the CPPC code (Gustavo Silva).

 - Avoid printing a raw pointer to the kernel log in the smart
   battery driver (Greg Kroah-Hartman).

More power management updates for v4.16-rc1

 - Drop the at32ap-cpufreq driver which is useless after the
   removal of the corresponding arch (Corentin LABBE).

 - Fix a regression from the 4.14 cycle in the APM idle driver by
   making it initialize the polling state properly (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Fix a crash on failing system suspend due to a missing check in
   the cpufreq core (Bo Yan).

 - Make the intel_pstate driver initialize the hardware-managed
   P-state control (HWP) feature on CPU0 upon resume from system
   suspend if HWP had been enabled before the system was suspended
   (Chen Yu).

 - Fix up the SCPI cpufreq driver after recent changes (Sudeep Holla,
   Wei Yongjun).

 - Avoid pointer subtractions during frequency table walks in cpufreq
   (Dominik Brodowski).

 - Avoid the check for ProcFeedback in ST/CZ in the cpufreq driver
   for AMD processors and add a MODULE_ALIAS for cpufreq on ARM IMX
   (Akshu Agrawal, Nicolas Chauvet).
