* fix P2P rates (and possibly other issues)

Linux 4.6-rc7

- refactor stolen quirks to share code between early quirks and i915 (Joonas)
- refactor gem BO/vma funcstion (Tvrtko&Dave)
- backlight over DPCD support (Yetunde Abedisi)
- more dsi panel sequence support (Jani)
- lots of refactoring around handling iomaps, vma, ring access and related
  topics culmulating in removing the duplicated request tracking in the execlist
  code (Chris & Tvrtko) includes a small patch for core iomapping code
- hw state readout for bxt dsi (Ramalingam C)
- cdclk cleanups (Ville)
- dedupe chv pll code a bit (Ander)
- enable semaphores on gen8+ for legacy submission, to be able to have a direct
  comparison against execlist on the same platform (Chris) Not meant to be used
  for anything else but performance tuning
- lvds border bit hw state checker fix (Jani)
- rpm vs. shrinker/oom-notifier fixes (Praveen Paneri)
- l3 tuning (Imre)
- revert mst dp audio, it's totally non-functional and crash-y (Lyude)
- first official dmc for kbl (Rodrigo)
- and tons of small things all over as usual

media fixes for v4.6-rc7

Power management and ACPI fixes for v4.6-rc7

 - Fix for a recent regression in the intel_pstate driver causing
   it to fail to restore the HWP (HW-managed P-states) configuration
   of the boot CPU after suspend-to-RAM (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Fix for two recent regressions in the intel_pstate driver, one
   that can trigger a divide by zero if the driver is accessed via
   sysfs before it manages to take the first sample and one causing
   it to fail to update a structure field used in a trace point, so
   the information coming from it is less useful (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Fix for a problem in the sti-cpufreq driver introduced during
   the 4.5 cycle that causes it to break CPU PM in multi-platform
   kernels by registering cpufreq-dt (which subsequently doesn't
   work) unconditionally and preventing the driver that would
   actually work from registering (Sudeep Holla).

 - Stable-candidate fix for an ARM64 cpuidle issue causing idle
   state usage counters to be incorrectly updated for idle states
   that were not entered due to errors (James Morse).

 - Fix for a recently introduced issue in the OPP (Operating
   Performance Points) framework causing it to print bogus error
   messages for missing optional regulators (Viresh Kumar).

 - Fix for a recently introduced issue in the generic device
   properties framework that may cause it to attempt to dereferece
   and invalid pointer in some cases (Heikki Krogerus).

 - Fix for a deadlock in the ACPICA core that may be triggered
   by device (eg. Thunderbolt) hotplug (Prarit Bhargava).

Fourth set of IIO fixes for the 4.6 cycle.

This last minute set is concerned with a regression in the mpu6050 driver.
The regression causes a null pointer dereference on any ACPI device
that has one of these present such as the ASUS T100TA Baytrail/T.

The issue was known but thought (i.e. missunderstood by me)
to only be a possible with no reports, so was routed via the normal merge
window.  Turns out this was wrong (thanks to Alan for reporting the crash).

The pull is just for the null dereference fix and a followup fix
that also stops the reported name of the device being NULL.

* mpu6050
  - Fix a 'possible' NULL dereference introduced as part of splitting the
  driver to allow both i2c and spi to be supported.  The issue affects ACPI
  systems with this device.
  - Fix a follow up issue where the name and chip id both get set to null if
  the device driver instance is instantiated from ACPI tables.
