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)" * tag 'pm+acpi-4.0-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: genirq / PM: describe IRQF_COND_SUSPEND tty: serial: atmel: rework interrupt and wakeup handling watchdog: at91sam9: request the irq with IRQF_NO_SUSPEND cpuidle / sleep: Use broadcast timer for states that stop local timer clk: at91: implement suspend/resume for the PMC irqchip rtc: at91rm9200: rework wakeup and interrupt handling rtc: at91sam9: rework wakeup and interrupt handling PM / wakeup: export pm_system_wakeup symbol genirq / PM: Add flag for shared NO_SUSPEND interrupt lines ACPI / video: Propagate the error code for acpi_video_register ACPI / video: Load the module even if ACPI is disabled PM / Domains: cleanup: rename gpd -> genpd in debugfs interface cpufreq: ppc: Add missing #include <asm/smp.h> x86/PCI/ACPI: Relax ACPI resource descriptor checks to work around BIOS bugs x86/PCI/ACPI: Ignore resources consumed by host bridge itself cpuidle: Clean up fallback handling in cpuidle_idle_call() cpuidle / sleep: Do sanity checks in cpuidle_enter_freeze() too idle / sleep: Avoid excessive disabling and enabling interrupts PCI: versatile: Update for list_for_each_entry() API change genirq / PM: better describe IRQF_NO_SUSPEND semantics
