Merge tag 'pm+acpi-4.6-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm
Pull power management and ACPI fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
"Fixes for some issues discovered after recent changes and for some
that have just been found lately regardless of those changes
(intel_pstate, intel_idle, PM core, mailbox/pcc, turbostat) plus
support for some new CPU models (intel_idle, Intel RAPL driver,
turbostat) and documentation updates (intel_pstate, PM core).
Specifics:
- intel_pstate fixes for two issues exposed by the recent switch over
from using timers and for one issue introduced during the 4.4 cycle
plus new comments describing data structures used by the driver
(Rafael Wysocki, Srinivas Pandruvada).
- intel_idle fixes related to CPU offline/online (Richard Cochran).
- intel_idle support (new CPU IDs and state definitions mostly) for
Skylake-X and Kabylake processors (Len Brown).
- PCC mailbox driver fix for an out-of-bounds memory access that may
cause the kernel to panic() (Shanker Donthineni).
- New (missing) CPU ID for one apparently overlooked Haswell model in
the Intel RAPL power capping driver (Srinivas Pandruvada).
- Fix for the PM core's wakeup IRQs framework to make it work after
wakeup settings reconfiguration from sysfs (Grygorii Strashko).
- Runtime PM documentation update to make it describe what needs to
be done during device removal more precisely (Krzysztof Kozlowski).
- Stale comment removal cleanup in the cpufreq-dt driver (Viresh
Kumar).
- turbostat utility fixes and support for Broxton, Skylake-X and
Kabylake processors (Len Brown)"
