Pull power management and ACPI fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
"These are fixes for recent regressions (ACPI resources management,
suspend-to-idle), stable-candidate fixes (ACPI backlight), fixes
related to the wakeup IRQ management changes made in v3.18, other
fixes (suspend-to-idle, cpufreq ppc driver) and a couple of cleanups
(suspend-to-idle, generic power domains, ACPI backlight).
Specifics:
- Fix ACPI resources management problems introduced by the recent
rework of the code in question (Jiang Liu) and a build issue
introduced by those changes (Joachim Nilsson).
- Fix a recent suspend-to-idle regression on systems where entering
idle states causes local timers to stop, prevent suspend-to-idle
from crashing in restricted configurations (no cpuidle driver,
cpuidle disabled etc.) and clean up the idle loop somewhat while at
it (Rafael J Wysocki).
- Fix build problem in the cpufreq ppc driver (Geert Uytterhoeven).
- Allow the ACPI backlight driver module to be loaded if ACPI is
disabled which helps the i915 driver in those configurations
(stable-candidate) and change the code to help debug unusual use
cases (Chris Wilson).
- Wakeup IRQ management changes in v3.18 caused some drivers on the
at91 platform to trigger a warning from the IRQ core related to an
unexpected combination of interrupt action handler flags. However,
on at91 a timer IRQ is shared with some other devices (including
system wakeup ones) and that leads to the unusual combination of
flags in question.
To make it possible to avoid the warning introduce a new interrupt
action handler flag (which can be used by drivers to indicate the
special case to the core) and rework the problematic at91 drivers
to use it and work as expected during system suspend/resume. From
Boris Brezillon, Rafael J Wysocki and Mark Rutland.
- Clean up the generic power domains subsystem's debugfs interface
(Kevin Hilman)"
