Merge tag 'pm+acpi-3.16-rc1-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm
Pull more ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki: "These are fixups on top of the previous PM+ACPI pull request, regression fixes (ACPI hotplug, cpufreq ppc-corenet), other bug fixes (ACPI reset, cpufreq), new PM trace points for system suspend profiling and a copyright notice update. Specifics: - I didn't remember correctly that the Hans de Goede's ACPI video patches actually didn't flip the video.use_native_backlight default, although we had discussed that and decided to do that. Since I said we would do that in the previous PM+ACPI pull request, make that change for real now. - ACPI bus check notifications for PCI host bridges don't cause the bus below the host bridge to be checked for changes as they should because of a mistake in the ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) subsystem that forgets to add hotplug contexts to PCI host bridge ACPI device objects. Create hotplug contexts for PCI host bridges too as appropriate. - Revert recent cpufreq commit related to the big.LITTLE cpufreq driver that breaks arm64 builds. - Fix for a regression in the ppc-corenet cpufreq driver introduced during the 3.15 cycle and causing the driver to use the remainder from do_div instead of the quotient. From Ed Swarthout. - Resets triggered by panic activate a BUG_ON() in vmalloc.c on systems where the ACPI reset register is located in memory address space. Fix from Randy Wright. - Fix for a problem with cpufreq governors that decisions made by them may be suboptimal due to the fact that deferrable timers are used by them for CPU load sampling. From Srivatsa S Bhat. - Fix for a problem with the Tegra cpufreq driver where the CPU frequency is temporarily switched to a "stable" level that is different from both the initial and target frequencies during transitions which causes udelay() to expire earlier than it should sometimes. From Viresh Kumar. - New trace points and rework of some existing trace points for system suspend/resume profiling from Todd Brandt. - Assorted cpufreq fixes and cleanups from Stratos Karafotis and Viresh Kumar. - Copyright notice update for suspend-and-cpuhotplug.txt from Srivatsa S Bhat" * tag 'pm+acpi-3.16-rc1-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: ACPI / hotplug / PCI: Add hotplug contexts to PCI host bridges PM / sleep: trace events for device PM callbacks cpufreq: cpufreq-cpu0: remove dependency on THERMAL and REGULATOR cpufreq: tegra: update comment for clarity cpufreq: intel_pstate: Remove duplicate CPU ID check cpufreq: Mark CPU0 driver with CPUFREQ_NEED_INITIAL_FREQ_CHECK flag PM / Documentation: Update copyright in suspend-and-cpuhotplug.txt cpufreq: governor: remove copy_prev_load from 'struct cpu_dbs_common_info' cpufreq: governor: Be friendly towards latency-sensitive bursty workloads PM / sleep: trace events for suspend/resume cpufreq: ppc-corenet-cpu-freq: do_div use quotient Revert "cpufreq: Enable big.LITTLE cpufreq driver on arm64" cpufreq: Tegra: implement intermediate frequency callbacks cpufreq: add support for intermediate (stable) frequencies ACPI / video: Change the default for video.use_native_backlight to 1 ACPI: Fix bug when ACPI reset register is implemented in system memory
