Merge tag 'acpi-5.10-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm
Pull ACPI fixes from Rafael Wysocki: "These are mostly docmentation fixes and janitorial changes plus some new device IDs and a new quirk. Specifics: - Fix documentation regarding GPIO properties (Andy Shevchenko) - Fix spelling mistakes in ACPI documentation (Flavio Suligoi) - Fix white space inconsistencies in ACPI code (Maximilian Luz) - Fix string formatting in the ACPI Generic Event Device (GED) driver (Nick Desaulniers) - Add Intel Alder Lake device IDs to the ACPI drivers used by the Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework (Srinivas Pandruvada) - Add lid-related DMI quirk for Medion Akoya E2228T to the ACPI button driver (Hans de Goede)" * tag 'acpi-5.10-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: ACPI: DPTF: Support Alder Lake Documentation: ACPI: fix spelling mistakes ACPI: button: Add DMI quirk for Medion Akoya E2228T ACPI: GED: fix -Wformat ACPI: Fix whitespace inconsistencies ACPI: scan: Fix acpi_dma_configure_id() kerneldoc name Documentation: firmware-guide: gpio-properties: Clarify initial output state Documentation: firmware-guide: gpio-properties: active_low only for GpioIo() Documentation: firmware-guide: gpio-properties: Fix factual mistakes

Since ACPI GpioIo() resource does not have a field saying whether it is
