Power management and ACPI material for v4.6-rc1, part 2

 - Fix for an intel_pstate driver issue related to the handling of
   MSR updates uncovered by the recent cpufreq rework (Rafael Wysocki).

 - cpufreq core cleanups related to starting governors and frequency
   synchronization during resume from system suspend and a locking
   fix for cpufreq_quick_get() (Rafael Wysocki, Richard Cochran).

 - acpi-cpufreq and powernv cpufreq driver updates (Jisheng Zhang,
   Michael Neuling, Richard Cochran, Shilpasri Bhat).

 - intel_idle driver update preventing some Skylake-H systems
   from hanging during initialization by disabling deep C-states
   mishandled by the platform in the problematic configurations (Len
   Brown).

 - Intel Xeon Phi Processor x200 support for intel_idle (Dasaratharaman
   Chandramouli).

 - cpuidle menu governor updates to make it always honor PM QoS
   latency constraints (and prevent C1 from being used as the
   fallback C-state on x86 when they are set below its exit latency)
   and to restore the previous behavior to fall back to C1 if the next
   timer event is set far enough in the future that was changed in 4.4
   which led to an energy consumption regression (Rik van Riel, Rafael
   Wysocki).

 - New device ID for a future AMD UART controller in the ACPI driver
   for AMD SoCs (Wang Hongcheng).

 - Rockchip rk3399 support for the rockchip-io-domain adaptive voltage
   scaling (AVS) driver (David Wu).

 - ACPI PCI resources management fix for the handling of IO space
   resources on architectures where the IO space is memory mapped
   (IA64 and ARM64) broken by the introduction of common ACPI
   resources parsing for PCI host bridges in 4.4 (Lorenzo Pieralisi).

 - Fix for the ACPI backend of the generic device properties API
   to make it parse non-device (data node only) children of an
   ACPI device correctly (Irina Tirdea).

 - Fixes for the handling of global suspend flags (introduced in 4.4)
   during hibernation and resume from it (Lukas Wunner).

 - Support for obtaining configuration information from Device Trees
   in the PM clocks framework (Jon Hunter).

 - ACPI _DSM helper code and devfreq framework cleanups (Colin Ian
   King, Geert Uytterhoeven).
