ACPI and power management fixes for 3.11-rc5

- ACPI-based memory hotplug stopped working after a recent change,
  because it's not possible to associate sufficiently many "physical"
  devices with one ACPI device object due to an artificial limit.
  Fix from Rafael J Wysocki removes that limit and makes memory
  hotplug work again.

- A change made in 3.9 uncovered a bug in the ACPI processor driver
  preventing NUMA nodes from being put offline due to an ordering
  issue.  Fix from Yasuaki Ishimatsu changes the ordering to make
  things work again.

- One of the recent ACPI video commits (that hasn't been reverted
  so far) uncovered a bug in the code handling quirky BIOSes that
  caused some Asus machines to boot with backlight completely off
  which made it quite difficult to use them afterward.  Fix from
  Felipe Contreras improves the quirk to cover this particular
  case correctly.

- A cpufreq user space interface change made in 3.10 inadvertently
  renamed the ignore_nice_load sysfs attribute to ignore_nice which
  resulted in some confusion.  Fix from Viresh Kumar changes the name
  back to ignore_nice_load.

- An initialization ordering change made in 3.9 broke cpufreq on
  loongson2 boards.  Fix from Aaro Koskinen restores the correct
  initialization ordering there.

- Fix breakage resulting from a mistake made in 3.9 and causing the
  detection of some graphics adapters (that were detected correctly
  before) to fail.  There are two objects representing the same PCIe
  port in the affected systems' ACPI tables and both appear as
  "enabled" and we are expected to guess which one to use.  We used
  to choose the right one before by pure luck, but when we tried to
  address another similar corner case, the luck went away.  This time
  we try to make our guessing a bit more educated which is reported
  to work on those systems.

- The /proc/acpi/wakeup interface code is missing some locking
  which may lead to breakage if that file is written or read during
  hotplug of wakeup devices.  That should be rare but still possible,
  so it's better to start using the appropriate locking there.

fbdev fixes:

- omapdss: compilation fix and DVI fix for PandaBoard
- mxsfb: fix colors when using 18bit LCD bus

regulator: DT binding fixes for v3.11

A couple of fixes to bring the DT binding documentation for Palmas into
sync with the code.

General cleanups for MSM for 3.12

This is a series of cleanups to the MSM code.  These are a healthy
start to bringing the MSM code closer to the state of current ARM code
and getting more of it ready for conversion to devicetree.

Linux 3.11-rc4

First round of new IIO drivers, features and cleanups for the 3.12 cycle.

There has been a lot of good work going into IIO recently, some of which
missed this pull request purely because I haven't caught up with all my
emails.

Core changes

1) Introduction of devm_iio_device_alloc/free and conversions of lots of
   drivers (37 + patches so far mostly from Sachin)
2) A Kconfig option to enabled some debug logging subsystem wide.

New drivers

1) Nuvoton NAU7802 adc driver
2) Avago APDS9300 ambient light sensor driver.

Staging graduations
1) ADIS16260 gyroscope (after a lot fo cleaning up from Lars-Peter)

New driver features

1) ST-sensors gain control of which pin is used for dataready.
2) mcp4725 gains eeprom saving (a later fix deals with a wrong return type
   bug in that patch)
3) A number of drivers have gained module alias' to aid autoloading.

Cleanups and minor bug fixes.

1) A number of typos in Kconfig comments
2) Drop remaining mentions of ring buffers (now just buffers)
3) Overrestrictive i2c function checking in the invensense mpu6050 driver
4) Some help text clarifications.
5) store_eeprom is now used in several drivers so move to generic abi docs.
6) Update dac power down options.
7) Add some error handlign to mxs-lradc on stmp_reset_block call.
8) Lars fixed the alphabetical order in various files and added comments
   to try and prevent them getting messed up again.
9) Dropped some remaining 'reset' attributes for drivers.  We have never
   seen a reason why these should be available.  Finally the macro
   used to define many of these has gone.
10) lps331ap gets an easier to check temperature scale implementation.
11) Various cleanups for the hmc5843 from Peter with a view to getting
    it ready for a staging graduation.

Quite a few other little typo fixes etc.

Second round of IIO fixes for the 3.11 cycle.

1) Fix a long term race in the IIO trigger handling.
   This only effects cases where a single trigger is in use
   by multiple devices.
2) ti_am335x fix an issue with incorrect data due to reading before
   the sequencer is finished.

This is the 3.10.5 stable release

This is the 3.2.50 stable release

ACPI and power management fixes for 3.11-rc4

- Revert two cpuidle commits added during the 3.8 development cycle that
  turn out to have introduced a significant performance regression as
  requested by Jeremy Eder.

- The recent patches that made the freezer less heavy-weight introduced
  a regression causing user-space-driven hibernation using the ioctl()
  interface to block indefinitely when the hibernate process executes
  try_to_freeze().  Fix from Colin Cross addresses this by adding a
  process flag to mark the hibernate/suspend process to inform the
  freezer that that process should be ignored.

- One of the recent cpufreq reverts uncovered a problem in the core
  causing the cpufreq driver module refcount to become negative after
  a system suspend-resume cycle.  Fix from Rafael J Wysocki.

- The evaluation of the ACPI battery _BIX method has never worked
  correctly, because the commit that added support for it forgot to
  take the "Revision" field in the return package into account.  As
  a result, the reading of battery info doesn't work at all on some
  systems, which is addressed by a fix from Lan Tianyu.
