Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"Again, cpufreq gets more changes than the other parts this time (one
new driver, one old driver less, a bunch of enhancements of the
existing code, new CPU IDs, fixes, cleanups)
There also are some changes in cpuidle (idle injection rework, a
couple of new CPU IDs, online/offline rework in intel_idle, fixes and
cleanups), in the generic power domains framework (mostly related to
supporting power domains containing CPUs), and in the Operating
Performance Points (OPP) library (mostly related to supporting devices
with multiple voltage regulators)
In addition to that, the system sleep state selection interface is
modified to make it easier for distributions with unchanged user space
to support suspend-to-idle as the default system suspend method, some
issues are fixed in the PM core, the latency tolerance PM QoS
framework is improved a bit, the Intel RAPL power capping driver is
cleaned up and there are some fixes and cleanups in the devfreq
subsystem
