More power management and ACPI fixes for v4.5-rc2

 - Fix a recent cpuidle core regression that broke suspend-to-idle
   on all systems where cpuidle drivers don't provide ->enter_freeze
   callbacks for any states (Sudeep Holla).

 - Drop an unnecessary symbol definition from the cpuidle core code
   handling coupled CPU cores (Anders Roxell).

 - Fix a race condition related to governor initialization and removal
   in the cpufreq core (Viresh Kumar).

 - Clean up the cpufreq core to use list_is_last() for checking if
   the given policy object is the last element of a list instead of
   open coding that in a clumsy way (Gautham R Shenoy).

 - Fix compiler warnings in the pxa2xx and cpufreq-dt cpufreq drivers
   (Arnd Bergmann).

 - Fix two locking issues and clean up a comment in the generic power
   domains framework (Ulf Hansson, Marek Szyprowski, Moritz Fischer).

 - Fix the error code path of one function in the ACPI-based PCI
   hotplug framework (ACPIPHP) that forgets to release a lock
   acquired previously (Insu Yun).

 - Drop the ACPI backlight blacklist entry for Dell Inspiron 5737
   that is not necessary any more (Hans de Goede).

 - Clean up the top-level PM Kconfig to stop requiring APM emulation
   to depend on PM which in fact isn't necessary (Arnd Bergmann).

This is the 2.6.32.70 stable release

IOMMU Fixes for Linux v4.5-rc1

Five patches queued up:

	* Two patches for the AMD and Intel IOMMU drivers to fix alias
	  handling and ATS handling.

	* Fix build error with arm io-pgtable code

	* Two documentation fixes

sound fixes for 4.5-rc2

There are a few fixes in ALSA core for bugs that have been spotted by
fuzzer.  Also a temporary workaround for PowerPC (and possibly other)
builds with incompatible ioctls was applied to compress API.

Other than that, a few trivial fixes and quirks for FireWire BeBoB,
USB-audio and HD-audio are found, too.

iwlwifi

* Fix support for 3168 device:
  * NVM version
  * firmware file name
  * device IDs
* Fix a compilation warning in dvm calibration code
* Fix the TPC (reduced Tx Power) code. This fixes performance issues
* Add device IDs for 8265

rtx2x00

* fix monitor mode regression dating back to 4.1

brcmfmac

* fix sdio initialisation related crash

rtlwifi

* rtl8821ae: Fix 5G failure when EEPROM is incorrectly encoded

ath9k

* ignore eeprom magic mismatch on flash based devices

This is the 3.14.60 stable release

This is the 3.10.96 stable release

This is the 3.12.53 stable release

Here's a first set of fixes for the 4.5-rc cycle:
 * make regulatory messages much less verbose by default
 * various remain-on-channel fixes
 * scheduled scanning fixes with hardware restart
 * a PS-Poll handling fix; was broken just recently
 * bugfix to avoid buffering non-bufferable MMPDUs
 * world regulatory domain data fix
 * a fix for scanning causing other work to get stuck
 * hwsim: revert an older problematic patch that caused some
   userspace tools to have issues - not that big a deal as
   it's a debug only driver though

Linux 3.18.26

- support for v3 vbt dsi blocks (Jani)
- improve mmio debug checks (Mika Kuoppala)
- reorg the ddi port translation table entries and related code (Ville)
- reorg gen8 interrupt handling for future platforms (Tvrtko)
- refactor tile width/height computations for framebuffers (Ville)
- kerneldoc integration for intel_pm.c (Jani)
- move default context from engines to device-global dev_priv (Dave Gordon)
- make seqno/irq ordering coherent with execlist (Chris)
- decouple internal engine number from UABI (Chris&Tvrtko)
- tons of small fixes all over, as usual

Linux 4.5-rc1

This is the 4.3.4 stable release

This is the 4.1.16 stable release

This is the 3.14.59 stable release

This is the 3.10.95 stable release

This is the 3.2.76 stable release

sound fixes for 4.5-rc1

Here are lots of small fixes that have been collected since the
previous pull.  This time, not only trivial ones but fixes for some
serious bugs are included:
- Fix for CPU lockups by snd-hrtimer accesses
- Fix for unsafe disconnection handling in ALSA timer code
- Fix for Oops due to race at HD-audio module removal
- Fixes for possible memory corruption via 32bit PCM and sequencer
  compat ioctls
- Fix for regression in HD-audio generic model handling
- Suppress kernel warnings for invalid TLV ioctls that may flood up
- Fix the missing SSC clock handling for at73c213
- A pin fixup for ASUS N550JX

More power management and ACPI updates for v4.5-rc1

 - Modify the driver core and the USB subsystem to allow USB devices
   to stay suspended over system suspend/resume cycles if they have
   been runtime-suspended already beforehand and fix some bugs on
   top of these changes (Tomeu Vizoso, Rafael Wysocki).

 - Update ACPICA to upstream revision 20160108, including updates
   of the ACPICA's copyright notices, a code fixup resulting from
   a regression fix that was necessary in the upstream code only
   (the regression fixed by it has never been present in Linux)
   and a compiler warning fix (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng).

 - Fix a recent regression in the cpuidle menu governor that broke
   it on practically all architectures other than x86 and make a
   couple of optimizations on top of that fix (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Clean up the selection of cpuidle governors depending on whether
   or not the kernel is configured for tickless systems (Jean Delvare).

 - Revert a recent commit that introduced a regression in the ACPI
   backlight driver, address the problem it attempted to fix in a
   different way and revert one more cosmetic change depending on
   the problematic commit (Hans de Goede).

 - Add two more ACPI backlight quirks (Hans de Goede).

 - Fix a few minor problems in the core devfreq code, clean it up
   a bit and update the MAINTAINERS information related to it
   (Chanwoo Choi, MyungJoo Ham).

 - Improve an error message in the ACPI fan driver (Andy Lutomirski).

 - Fix a recent build regression in the cpupower tool (Shreyas Prabhu).
