ACPI and power management fixes and cleanups for 3.14-rc1

 - ACPI device hotplug fix preventing ACPI drivers from binding to device
   objects that acpi_bus_trim() has been called for and the devices
   represented by them may not be operational.

 - Recent cpufreq changes related to the "boost" (turbo) feature broke
   the acpi-cpufreq error code path causing a NULL pointer dereference
   to occur on some systems.  Fix from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk.

 - The log level of a CPU initialization error message added recently
   needs to be reduced, because the particular BIOS issue indicated by
   it turns out to be widespread and doesn't really matter for the
   majority of systems having it.  From Jiang Liu.

 - The regulator API needs to be told to stay away from things on systems
   with ACPI BIOSes or it may conflict with the BIOS' own handling of
   voltage regulators.  Fix from Mark Brown that works around a 3.13
   regression in lm90 on PCs occuring if the regulator API is enabled.

 - Prevent the Exynos4 devfreq driver from being built on multiplatform,
   because it depends on things that aren't available during such builds.
   From Sachin Kamat.

 - Upstream ACPICA doesn't use the bool type as defined in the kernel,
   so modify the kernel's ACPICA code to follow the upstream in that
   respect (only one variable definition is affected) to reduce
   divergences between the two.  From Lv Zheng.

 - Make the ACPI device PM code use ACPI_COMPANION() instead of its own
   routine doing the same thing (and invokng ACPI_COMPANION() in the
   process).

 - Modify some routines in the ACPI processor driver to follow the
   common convention and return negative integers on errors.  From
   Hanjun Guo.

* Improve the NOR erasure quirk - now it tries to do as little writes as
  possible, because the eraseblock may be in an "unstable" state and write
  operation sometimes causes NOR chip lock-ups.
* Both UBI and UBIFS changes are now maintainer in one single tree, because the
  amount of changes dropped significantly.

IOMMU Updates for Linux v3.14

A few patches have been queued up for this merge window:

	* Improvements for the ARM-SMMU driver
	  (IOMMU_EXEC support, IOMMU group support)
	* Updates and fixes for the shmobile IOMMU driver
	* Various fixes to generic IOMMU code and the
	  Intel IOMMU driver
	* Some cleanups in IOMMU drivers (dev_is_pci() usage)

fbdev changes for 3.14

This is a rather boring pull request. There is one new fb driver, OpenCores
VGA/LCD, but other than that it's just minor cleanups and fixes.

DeviceTree updates for 3.14:

- Add new documents with guidelines for DT binding stability and review
  process. This is one of the outcomes of Kernel Summit DT discussions.
- Remove a bunch of device_type usage which is only for OF and
  deprecated with FDT.
- Fix a long standing issue with compatible string match ordering.
- Various minor binding documentation updates.

- Convert to misc driver to support module auto loading
- Remove unnecessary and dangerous use of device_lock

drm/tegra: Changes for v3.14-rc1 (update)

These patches fix some issues caused by the DRM panel support from the
previous pull request and add two more panels (for the Toshiba AC100 as
well as the Seaboard and Ventana).

ACPI and power management updates for 3.14-rc1

 - ACPI core changes to make it create a struct acpi_device object for every
   device represented in the ACPI tables during all namespace scans regardless
   of the current status of that device.  In accordance with this, ACPI hotplug
   operations will not delete those objects, unless the underlying ACPI tables
   go away.

 - On top of the above, new sysfs attribute for ACPI device objects allowing
   user space to check device status by triggering the execution of _STA for
   its ACPI object.  From Srinivas Pandruvada.

 - ACPI core hotplug changes reducing code duplication, integrating the
   PCI root hotplug with the core and reworking container hotplug.

 - ACPI core simplifications making it use ACPI_COMPANION() in the code
   "glueing" ACPI device objects to "physical" devices.

 - ACPICA update to upstream version 20131218.  This adds support for the
   DBG2 and PCCT tables to ACPICA, fixes some bugs and improves debug
   facilities.  From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng and Betty Dall.

 - Init code change to carry out the early ACPI initialization earlier.
   That should allow us to use ACPI during the timekeeping initialization
   and possibly to simplify the EFI initialization too.  From Chun-Yi Lee.

 - Clenups of the inclusions of ACPI headers in many places all over from
   Lv Zheng and Rashika Kheria (work in progress).

 - New helper for ACPI _DSM execution and rework of the code in drivers
   that uses _DSM to execute it via the new helper.  From Jiang Liu.

 - New Win8 OSI blacklist entries from Takashi Iwai.

 - Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups from Al Stone, Emil Goode, Hanjun Guo,
   Lan Tianyu, Masanari Iida, Oliver Neukum, Prarit Bhargava, Rashika Kheria,
   Tang Chen, Zhang Rui.

 - intel_pstate driver updates, including proper Baytrail support, from
   Dirk Brandewie and intel_pstate documentation from Ramkumar Ramachandra.

 - Generic CPU boost ("turbo") support for cpufreq from Lukasz Majewski.

 - powernow-k6 cpufreq driver fixes from Mikulas Patocka.

 - cpufreq core fixes and cleanups from Viresh Kumar, Jane Li, Mark Brown.

 - Assorted cpufreq drivers fixes and cleanups from Anson Huang, John Tobias,
   Paul Bolle, Paul Walmsley, Sachin Kamat, Shawn Guo, Viresh Kumar.

 - cpuidle cleanups from Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz.

 - Support for hibernation APM events from Bin Shi.

 - Hibernation fix to avoid bringing up nonboot CPUs with ACPI EC disabled
   during thaw transitions from Bjørn Mork.

 - PM core fixes and cleanups from Ben Dooks, Leonardo Potenza, Ulf Hansson.

 - PNP subsystem fixes and cleanups from Dmitry Torokhov, Levente Kurusa,
   Rashika Kheria.

 - New tool for profiling system suspend from Todd E Brandt and a cpupower
   tool cleanup from One Thousand Gnomes.

Linux 3.13

Last-minute ACPI fix for 3.13

This reverts a commit that causes the Alan Cox' ASUS T100TA to "crash
and burn" during boot if the Baytrail pinctrl driver is compiled in.

Linux 3.13-rc8

ACPI and power management fixes for 3.13-rc8

- Recent commits modifying the lists of C-states in the intel_idle
  driver introduced bugs leading to crashes on some systems.  Two
  fixes from Jiang Liu.

- The ACPI AC driver should receive all types of notifications, but
  recent change made it ignore some of them.  Fix from Alexander Mezin.

- intel_pstate's validity checks for MSRs it depends on are not
  sufficient to catch the lack of support in nested KVM setups, so
  they are extended to cover that case.  From Dirk Brandewie.

- NEC LZ750/LS has a botched up _BIX method in its ACPI tables, so our
  ACPI battery driver needs a quirk for it.  From Lan Tianyu.

- The tpm_ppi driver sometimes leaks memory allocated by acpi_get_name().
  Fix from Jiang Liu.
