Fixes for MSM for 3.11

Two small fixes for MSM.

The first fixes the a gpio controller register address.  I didn't see
any acks from the devicetree maintainers, so I've copied them on this
pull request.  The change itself is minor, and just to the register
address.

The second change removes the gpiomux V1 code from MSM.  This was
breaking compilation for some of the targets.

ACPI and power management fixes for 3.11-rc3

- Revert of the ACPI video commit that I hoped would help fix
  backlight problems related to Windows 8 compatibility on some
  systems.  Unfortunately, it turned out to cause problems to happen
  too.

- Fix for two problems in intel_pstate, a possible failure to respond
  to a load change on a quiet system and a possible failure to select
  the highest available P-state on some systems.  From Dirk Brandewie.

ACPI video support fixes for 3.11

- Change from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export a variable which can be
  used by driver code to determine whether or not the BIOS believes
  that we are compatible with Windows 8.

- Change from Matthew Garrett makes the ACPI video driver initialize
  the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to be used afterward
  (that is needed for backlight control to work on Thinkpads).

- Fix from Rafael J Wysocki implements Windows 8 backlight support
  workaround making i915 take over bakclight control if the firmware
  thinks it's dealing with Windows 8.  Based on the work of multiple
  developers including Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee, Seth Forshee,
  and Aaron Lu.

- Fix from Aaron Lu makes the kernel follow Windows 8 by informing
  the firmware through the _DOS method that it should not carry out
  automatic brightness changes, so that brightness can be controlled
  by GUI.

Power management and ACPI fixes for 3.11-rc2

- Two cpufreq commits from the 3.10 cycle introduced regressions.
  The first of them was buggy (it did way much more than it needed
  to do) and the second one attempted to fix an issue introduced by
  the first one.  Fixes from Srivatsa S Bhat revert both.

- If autosleep triggers during system shutdown and the shutdown
  callbacks of some device drivers have been called already, it may
  crash the system.  Fix from Liu Shuo prevents that from happening
  by making try_to_suspend() check system_state.

- The ACPI memory hotplug driver doesn't clear its driver_data on
  errors which may cause a NULL poiter dereference to happen later.
  Fix from Toshi Kani.

- The ACPI namespace scanning code should not try to attach scan
  handlers to device objects that have them already, which may confuse
  things quite a bit, and it should rescan the whole namespace branch
  starting at the given node after receiving a bus check notify event
  even if the device at that particular node has been discovered
  already.  Fixes from Rafael J Wysocki.

- New ACPI video blacklist entry for a system whose initial backlight
  setting from the BIOS doesn't make sense.  From Lan Tianyu.

- Garbage string output avoindance for ACPI PNP from Liu Shuo.

- Two Kconfig fixes for issues introduced recently in the s3c24xx
  cpufreq driver (when moving the driver to drivers/cpufreq) from
  Paul Bolle.

- Trivial comment fix in pm_wakeup.h from Chanwoo Choi.

More power management and ACPI updates for 3.11-rc1

- Fix for a recent cpufreq regression that caused WARN() to trigger
  overzealously in a couple of places and spam the kernel log with
  useless garbage as a result.  From Viresh Kumar.

- ACPI dock fix removing a discrepancy between the definition of
  acpi_dock_init(), which says that the function returns int, and
  its header in the header file, which says that it is a void
  function.  The function is now defined as void too.

- ACPI PM fix for failures to update device power states as needed,
  for example, during resume from system suspend, because the old
  state was deeper than the new one, but the new one is not D0.

- Fix for two debug messages in the ACPI power resources code that
  don't have a newline at the end and make the kernel log difficult
  to read.  From Mika Westerberg.

- Two ACPI cleanups from Naresh Bhat and Haicheng Li.

- cpupower updates from Thomas Renninger, including Intel Haswell
  support improvements and a new idle-set subcommand among other
  things.
