intel, amd and mxsfb fixes.

Power management updates for v4.11-rc2

 - Three fixes for intel_pstate problems related to the passive
   mode (in which it acts as a regular cpufreq scaling driver), two
   for the handling of global P-state limits and one for the handling
   of the cpu_frequency tracepoint in that mode (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Three fixes for the handling of P-state limits in intel_pstate in
   the active mode (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Introduction of a new cpufreq.off=1 kernel command line argument
   that will disable cpufreq entirely if passed to the kernel and
   is simply hooked up to the existing code used by Xen (Len Brown).

 - Fix for the schedutil cpufreq governor to prevent it from using
   stale raw frequency values in configurations with mutiple CPUs
   sharing one policy object and a cleanup for it reducing its
   overhead slightly (Viresh Kumar).

This is the 3.12.71 stable release

flushing out gvt-g fixes

media fixes for v4.11-rc2

First slice of drm-misc-next for 4.12:

Core/subsystem-wide:
- link status core patch from Manasi, for signalling link train fail
  to userspace. I also had the i915 patch in here, but that had a
  small buglet in our CI, so reverted.
- more debugfs_remove removal from Noralf, almost there now (Noralf
  said he'll try to follow up with the stragglers).
- drm todo moved into kerneldoc, for better visibility (see
  Documentation/gpu/todo.rst), lots of starter tasks in there.
- devm_ of helpers + use it in sti (from Ben Gaignard, acked by Rob
  Herring)
- extended framebuffer fbdev support (for fbdev flipping), and vblank
  wait ioctl fbdev support (Maxime Ripard)
- misc small things all over, as usual
- add vblank callbacks to drm_crtc_funcs, plus make lots of good use
  of this to simplify drivers (Shawn Guo)
- new atomic iterator macros to unconfuse old vs. new state

Small drivers:
- vc4 improvements from Eric
- vc4 kerneldocs (Eric)!
- tons of improvements for dw-mipi-dsi in rockchip from John Keeping
  and Chris Zhong.
- MAINTAINERS entries for drivers managed in drm-misc. It's not yet
  official, still an experiment, but definitely not complete fail and
  better to avoid confusion. We kinda screwed that up with drm-misc a
  bit when we started committers last year.
- qxl atomic conversion (Gabriel Krisman)
- bunch of virtual driver polish (qxl, virgl, ...)
- misc tiny patches all over

This is the first time we've done the same merge-window blackout for
drm-misc as we've done for drm-intel for ages, hence why we have a
_lot_ of stuff queued already. But it's still only half of drm-intel
(room to grow!), and the drivers in drm-misc experiment seems to work
at least insofar as that you also get lots of driver updates here
alredy.

4 weeks worth of stuff since I was traveling&lazy:

- lspcon improvements (Imre)
- proper atomic state for cdclk handling (Ville)
- gpu reset improvements (Chris)
- lots and lots of polish around fences, requests, waiting and
  everything related all over (both gem and modeset code), from Chris
- atomic by default on gen5+ minus byt/bsw (Maarten did the patch to
  flip the default, really this is a massive joint team effort)
- moar power domains, now 64bit (Ander)
- big pile of in-kernel unit tests for various gem subsystems (Chris),
  including simple mock objects for i915 device and and the ggtt
  manager.
- i915_gpu_info in debugfs, for taking a snapshot of the current gpu
  state. Same thing as i915_error_state, but useful if the kernel didn't
  notice something is stick. From Chris.
- bxt dsi fixes (Umar Shankar)
- bxt w/a updates (Jani)
- no more struct_mutex for gem object unreference (Chris)
- some execlist refactoring (Tvrtko)
- color manager support for glk (Ander)
- improve the power-well sync code to better take over from the
  firmware (Imre)
- gem tracepoint polish (Tvrtko)
- lots of glk fixes all around (Ander)
- ctx switch improvements (Chris)
- glk dsi support&fixes (Deepak M)
- dsi fixes for vlv and clanups, lots of them (Hans de Goede)
- switch to i915.ko types in lots of our internal modeset code (Ander)
- byt/bsw atomic wm update code, yay (Ville)

Just 1 8bpc quirk from Ville, cc: stable

Linux 4.11-rc1

First set of IIO new device support, features and cleanup for the 4.12 cycle.

Quite a bit of outreachy activity here with a driver from a current intern
and a number of cleanup patches as part of the next round.

Getting a pull request in early this cycle as it's looking like another large
cycle for IIO.

New device support
* adxl345
  - initial device support. Note, once complete support is done the intent
    is to superceded the driver in input/misc.
  - bindings.
  - conversion from i2c direct calls to regmap and driver split.
  - spi support.
* chromeos light and proximity.
  - new driver.
* devantech srf04 ultrasonic ranger
  - new driver with device tree bindings.
* hid temperature
  - new driver for environemntal temperature support from hid devices.
* max30102 oximeter
  - new driver with device tree bindings.
* st lsm6dsx
  - refactor and addition of device support for lsm6dsl and lsm6ds3h.

Staging graduation
* isl29028 including copyright notice update to reflect Brian's work.
* lpc32xx_adc.
* spear adc. It's not perfect and there are some datasheet disagreements, but
  it works and is good enough to graduate.

New features
* documentation
  - abi docs for in_proximity_sampling_frequency_available.
  - generalise counting direction ABI docs as a second driver is going to
  use them.
* hid-sensor-prox
  - Add support for HID_USAGE_SENSOR_HUMAN_PRESENCE if used on a particular
  device.
* isl29028
  - runtime pm.
* meson-saradc
  - switch from polling to interrupt mode and improved read_raw_sample function
  to avoid unnecessary loop.
* tmp007
  - interrupt and threshold event support.

Additional ACPI update for v4.11-rc1

This fixes an apparent, but actually artificial, resource conflict
between the ACPI NVS memory region and the ACPI BERT (Boot Error
Record Table) address range (Huang Ying).
