These update the ACPICA code in the kernel to the 20180508 upstream
revision and make it support the RT patch, add CPPC v3 support to the
ACPI CPPC library, add a WDAT-based watchdog quirk to prevent clashes
with the RTC, add quirks to the ACPI AC and battery drivers, and
update the ACPI SoC drivers.
