Power management material for v4.7-rc1

 - New cpufreq "schedutil" governor (making decisions based on CPU
   utilization information provided by the scheduler and capable of
   switching CPU frequencies right away if the underlying driver
   supports that) and support for fast frequency switching in the
   acpi-cpufreq driver (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Consolidation of CPU frequency management on ARM platforms allowing
   them to get rid of some platform-specific boilerplate code if they
   are going to use the cpufreq-dt driver (Viresh Kumar, Finley Xiao,
   Marc Gonzalez).

 - Support for ACPI _PPC and CPU frequency limits in the intel_pstate
   driver (Srinivas Pandruvada).

 - Fixes and cleanups in the cpufreq core and generic governor code
   (Rafael Wysocki, Sai Gurrappadi).

 - intel_pstate driver optimizations and cleanups (Rafael Wysocki,
   Philippe Longepe, Chen Yu, Joe Perches).

 - cpufreq powernv driver fixes and cleanups (Akshay Adiga, Shilpasri
   Bhat).

 - cpufreq qoriq driver fixes and cleanups (Jia Hongtao).

 - ACPI cpufreq driver cleanups (Viresh Kumar).

 - Assorted cpufreq driver updates (Ashwin Chaugule, Geliang Tang,
   Javier Martinez Canillas, Paul Gortmaker, Sudeep Holla).

 - Assorted cpufreq fixes and cleanups (Joe Perches, Arnd Bergmann).

 - Fixes and cleanups in the OPP (Operating Performance Points)
   framework, mostly related to OPP sharing, and reorganization of
   OF-dependent code in it (Viresh Kumar, Arnd Bergmann, Sudeep Holla).

 - New "passive" governor for devfreq (for SoC subsystems that will
   rely on someone else for the management of their power resources)
   and consolidation of devfreq support for Exynos platforms, coding
   style and typo fixes for devfreq (Chanwoo Choi, MyungJoo Ham).

 - PM core fixes and cleanups, mostly to make it work better with the
   generic power domains (genpd) framework, and updates for that
   framework (Ulf Hansson, Thierry Reding, Colin Ian King).

 - Intel Broxton support for the intel_idle driver (Len Brown).

 - cpuidle core optimization and fix (Daniel Lezcano, Dave Gerlach).

 - ARM cpuidle cleanups (Jisheng Zhang).

 - Intel Kabylake support for the RAPL power capping driver (Jacob Pan).

 - AVS (Adaptive Voltage Switching) rockchip-io driver update (Heiko
   Stuebner).

 - Updates for the cpupower tool (Arjun Sreedharan, Colin Ian King,
   Mattia Dongili, Thomas Renninger).
