More ACPI updates for v4.12-rc1

 - Update the ACPICA code in the kernel to upstream revision
   20170303 which includes:
   * Minor fixes and improvements in the core code (Bob Moore,
     Seunghun Han).
   * Debugger fixes (Colin Ian King, Lv Zheng).
   * Compiler/disassembler improvements (Bob Moore, David Box,
     Lv Zheng).
   * Build-related update (Lv Zheng).

 - Add new device IDs and platform-related information to the
   ACPI drivers for Intel (LPSS) and AMD (APD) SoCs (Hanjun Guo,
   Hans de Goede).

 - Make it possible to quirk ACPI-enumerated devices as "always
   present" on platforms where they are incorrectly reported as not
   present by the AML and add the INT0002 device ID to the list of
   "always present" devices (Hans de Goede).

 - Fix the register information in the xpower PMIC driver and add
   comments to map the registers to symbols used by AML to it
   (Hans de Goede).

 - Move the code turning off unused ACPI power resources during
   system resume to a point after all devices have been resumed
   to avoid issues with power resources that do not behave as
   expected (Hans de Goede).

More power management updates for v4.12-rc1

 - Add Intel Gemini Lake CPU IDs to the intel_idle and intel_rapl
   drivers (David Box).

 - Add a NULL pointer check to the cpuidle core to prevent it from
   crashing on platforms with incomplete cpuidle configuration (Fei
   Li).

 - Fix DT-related documentation in the generic power domains (genpd)
   framework and add a MAINTAINERS entry for DT-related material in
   genpd (Viresh Kumar).

 - Update the system suspend/resume infrastructure to improve the
   handling of aborts of suspend transitions in progress in the
   wakeup framework and rework the suspend-to-idle core loop to make
   it possible to filter out spurious wakeup events (specifically the
   ones coming from ACPI) without resuming all the way up to user
   space every time (Rafael Wysocki).

This is the 3.12.74 stable release

IOMMU Updates for Linux v4.12

This includes:

	* Some code optimizations for the Intel VT-d driver

	* Code to switch off a previously enabled Intel IOMMU

	* Support for 'struct iommu_device' for OMAP, Rockchip and
	  Mediatek IOMMUs

	* Some header optimizations for IOMMU core code headers and a
	  few fixes that became necessary in other parts of the kernel
	  because of that

	* ACPI/IORT updates and fixes

	* Some Exynos IOMMU optimizations

	* Code updates for the IOMMU dma-api code to bring it closer to
	  use per-cpu iova caches

	* New command-line option to set default domain type allocated
	  by the iommu core code

	* Another command line option to allow the Intel IOMMU switched
	  off in a tboot environment

	* ARM/SMMU: TLB sync optimisations for SMMUv2, Support for using
	  an IDENTITY domain in conjunction with DMA ops, Support for
	  SMR masking, Support for 16-bit ASIDs (was previously broken)

	* Various other small fixes and improvements

A couple more fixes:
 * don't try to authenticate during reconfiguration, which causes
   drivers to get confused
 * fix a kernel-doc warning for a recently merged change
 * fix MU-MIMO group configuration (relevant only for monitor mode)
 * more rate flags fix: remove stray RX_ENC_FLAG_40MHZ
 * fix IBSS probe response allocation size

This is the 4.10.15 stable release

media updates for v4.12-rc1

drm docs pointer to freedesktop code of conduct.

extra pull request because I missed tegra.

This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.12 kernel cycle:

Core changes

- Return NULL from gpiod_get_optional() when GPIOLIB is disabled.
  This was a much discussed change. It affects use cases where people
  write drivers that might or might not be using GPIO resources.
  I have decided that this is the lesser evil right now.

- Make gpiod_count() behave consistently across different hardware
  descriptions.

- Fix the syntax around open drain/open source to not infer active
  high/low semantics.

New drivers

- A new single-register fixed-direction framework driver for hardware
  that have lines controlled by a single register that just work in
  one direction (out or in), including IRQ support.

- Support the Fintek F71889A GPIO SuperIO controller.

- Support the National NI 169445 MMIO GPIO.

- Support for the X-Gene derivative of the DWC GPIO controller

- Support for the Rohm BD9571MWV-M PMIC GPIO controller.

- Refactor the Gemini GPIO driver to a generic Faraday FTGPIO driver
  and replace both the Gemini and the Moxa ART custom drivers with
  this driver.

Driver improvements

- A whole slew of drivers have their spinlocks chaned to raw spinlocks
  as they provide irqchips, and thus we are progressing on realtime
  compliance.

- Use devm_irq_alloc_descs() in a slew of drivers, getting managed
  resources.

- Support for the embedded PWM controller inside the MVEBU driver.

- Debounce, open source and open drain support for the Aspeed driver.

- Misc smaller fixes like spelling and syntax and whatnot.

This is the 4.10.14 stable release

This is the 4.9.26 stable release

regulator: Updates for v4.12

Quite a lot going on with the regulator API for this release, much more
in the core than in the drivers for a change:

 - Fixes for voltage change propagation through dumb power switches.
 - A notification when regulators are enabled.
 - A new settling time property for regulators where the time taken to
   move to a new voltage is not related to the size of the change.
 - Some reorganization of the Arizona drivers in preparation for sharing
   the code with the next generation devices they've been integrated
   with.
 - Support for newer Freescale chips in the Anatop regulator.
 - A new driver for voltage controlled regulators to cope with some
   exciting ChromeOS hardware designs.
 - Support for Rohm BD9571MWV-M and TI TPS65132.

This is the 4.4.66 stable release
