device wakeup in order to avoid disabling wakeup for bridges
prematurely (Rafael Wysocki).

Apple device properties to the device properties framework and
use these properties for the handling of I2C and SPI devices on
Apple systems (Lukas Wunner).

code and make it possible to use the information from there to
configure DMA regions on ARM64 systems (Lorenzo Pieralisi).
