Merge tag 'acpi-4.18-rc1-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm
Pull additional ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki: "These update the ACPICA code in the kernel to upstream revision 20180531 including one important AML parser fix and updates related to the IORT table, make the kernel recognize the "Windows 2017.2" _OSI string and update the customized methods documentation. Specifics: - Update the ACPICA code in the kernel to upstream revision 20180531 including: * AML parser fix to continue loading tables after detecting an AML error (Erik Schmauss). * AML parser debug option to dump parse trees (Bob Moore). * Debugger updates (Bob Moore). * Initial bits of Unload () operator deprecation (Bob Moore). * Updates related to the IORT table (Robin Murphy). - Make Linux respond to the "Windows 2017.2" _OSI string which allows native Thunderbolt enumeration to be used on Dell systems and was unsafe before recent changes in the PCI subsystem (Mario Limonciello) - Update the ACPI method customization feature documentation (Erik Schmauss)" * tag 'acpi-4.18-rc1-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: ACPICA: Recognize the _OSI string "Windows 2017.2" ACPICA: Update version to 20180531 ACPICA: Interpreter: Begin deprecation of Unload operator ACPICA: AML parser: attempt to continue loading table after error ACPICA: Debugger: Reduce verbosity for module-level code errors. ACPICA: AML Parser: Add debug option to dump parse trees ACPICA: Debugger: Add count of namespace nodes after namespace dump ACPICA: IORT: Add PMCG node supprt ACPICA: IORT: Update for revision D ACPI / Documentation: update ACPI customize method feature docs
