Merge tag 'acpi-5.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm
Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"These rearrange the ACPI documentation by converting it to the .rst
format and splitting it into clear categories (admin guide, driver
API, firmware guide), switch over multiple users of a problematic
library function to a new better one, update the ACPICA code in the
kernel to a new upstream release, fix a few issues, improve power
device management diagnostics and do some cleanups.
Specifics:
- Convert the ACPI documentation in the kernel source tree to the
.rst format and split it into the admin guide, driver API and
firmware guide parts (Changbin Du).
- Add a PRP0001 usage example to the ACPI documentation (Thomas
Preston).
- Switch over the users of the acpi_dev_get_first_match_name()
library function which turned out to be problematic to a new,
better one called acpi_dev_get_first_match_dev() (Andy Shevchenko,
YueHaibing).
- Update the ACPICA code in the kernel to upstream release 20190405
including:
* Null pointer dereference check in acpi_ns_delete_node() (Erik
Schmauss).
* Multiple macro and function name changes (Bob Moore).
* Predefined operation region name fix (Erik Schmauss).
- Fix hibernation issue on systems using the Baytrail and Cherrytrail
Intel SoCs introduced during the 4.20 development cycle (Hans de
Goede).
- Add Sony VPCEH3U1E to the backlight quirk list (Zhang Rui).
- Fix button handling during system resume (Zhang Rui).
- Add a device PM diagnostic message (Rafael Wysocki).
- Clean up the code, comments and white space in multiple places
(Bjorn Helgaas, Gustavo Silva, Kefeng Wang)"
