Pull more ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "This includes a couple of fixes needed after recent changes, two ACPI
  driver fixes (fan and "Processor Aggregator"), an update of the ACPI
  device properties handling code and a new MAINTAINERS entry for ACPI
  on ARM64.

  Specifics:

   - Fix an unused function warning that started to appear after recent
     changes in the ACPI EC driver (Eric Biggers).

   - Fix the KERN_CONT usage in acpi_os_vprintf() that has become
     (particularly) annoying recently (Joe Perches).

   - Fix the fan status checking in the ACPI fan driver to avoid
     returning incorrect error codes sometimes (Srinivas Pandruvada).

   - Fix the ACPI Processor Aggregator driver (PAD) to always let the
     special processor_aggregator driver from Xen take over when running
     as Xen dom0 (Juergen Gross).

   - Update the handling of reference device properties in ACPI by
     allowing empty rows ("holes") to appear in reference property lists
     (Mika Westerberg).

   - Add a new MAINTAINERS entry for ACPI on ARM64 (Lorenzo Pieralisi)"

acpi_os_vprintf currently always uses a KERN_CONT prefix which may be
followed immediately by a proper KERN_&lt;LEVEL&gt;.  Check if the buffer
already has a KERN_&lt;LEVEL&gt; at the start of the buffer and avoid the
unnecessary KERN_CONT.

Pull thermal managament updates from Zhang Rui:

 - Enhance thermal "userspace" governor to export the reason when a
   thermal event is triggered and delivered to user space. From Srinivas
   Pandruvada

 - Introduce a single TSENS thermal driver for the different versions of
   the TSENS IP that exist, on different qcom msm/apq SoCs'. Support for
   msm8916, msm8960, msm8974 and msm8996 families is also added. From
   Rajendra Nayak

 - Introduce hardware-tracked trip points support to the device tree
   thermal sensor framework. The framework supports an arbitrary number
   of trip points. Whenever the current temperature is changed, the trip
   points immediately below and above the current temperature are found,
   driver callback is invoked to program the hardware to get notified
   when either of the two trip points are triggered. Hardware-tracked
   trip points support for rockchip thermal driver is also added at the
   same time. From Sascha Hauer, Caesar Wang

DT allows holes or empty phandles for references. This is used for example
in SPI subsystem where some chip selects are native and others are regular
GPIOs. In ACPI _DSD we currently do not support this but instead the
preceding reference consumes all following integer arguments.

For example we would like to support something like the below ASL fragment
for SPI:

  Package () {
      "cs-gpios",
      Package () {
          ^GPIO, 19, 0, 0, // GPIO CS0
          0,               // Native CS
          ^GPIO, 20, 0, 0, // GPIO CS1
      }
  }

The zero in the middle means "no entry" or NULL reference. To support this
we change acpi_data_get_property_reference() to take firmware node and
num_args as argument and rename it to __acpi_node_get_property_reference().
The function returns -ENOENT if the given index resolves to "no entry"
reference and -ENODATA when there are no more entries in the property.

We then add static inline wrapper acpi_node_get_property_reference() that
passes MAX_ACPI_REFERENCE_ARGS as num_args to support the existing
behaviour which some drivers have been relying on.

<id>d09ba13110e303d7baa29d170da94cd24f7662b2</id>

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "Aside from the recently added pmem sub-division support these have
  been in -next for several releases with no reported issues. The sub-
  division support was included in next-20161010 with no reported
  issues. It passes all unit tests including new tests for all the new
  functionality below.

  Summary:

   - PMEM sub-division support: Allow a single PMEM region to be divided
     into multiple namespaces. Originally, ~2 years ago, it was thought
     that partitions of a /dev/pmemX block device could handle
     sub-allocations of persistent memory for different use cases. With
     the decision to not support DAX mappings of raw block-devices, and
     the genesis of device-dax, the need for having multiple
     pmem-namespace per region has grown.

   - Device-DAX unified inode: In support of dynamic-resizing of a
     device-dax instance the kernel arranges for all mappings of a
     device-dax node to share the same inode. This allows unmap /
     truncate / invalidation events to affect all instances of the
     device similar to the behavior of mmap on block devices.

   - Hardware error scrubbing reworks: The original address-range-scrub
     and badblocks tracking solution allowed clearing entries at the
     individual namespace level, but it failed to clear the internal
     list of media errors maintained at the bus level. The result was
     that the next scrub or namespace disable/re-enable event would
     restore the cleared badblocks, but now that is fixed. The v4.8
     kernel introduced an auto-scrub-on-machine-check behavior to
     repopulate the badblocks list. Now, in v4.9, the auto-scrub
     behavior can be disabled and simply arrange for the error reported
     in the machine-check to be added to the list.

   - DIMM health-event notification support: ACPI 6.1 defines a
     notification event code that can be send to ACPI NVDIMM devices. A
     poll(2) capable file descriptor for these events can be obtained
     from the nmemX/nfit/flags sysfs-attribute of a libnvdimm memory
     device.

   - Miscellaneous fixes: NVDIMM-N probe error, device-dax build error,
     and a change to dedup the flush hint list to not flush the memory
     controller more than necessary"

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "Aside from the recently added pmem sub-division support these have
  been in -next for several releases with no reported issues. The sub-
  division support was included in next-20161010 with no reported
  issues. It passes all unit tests including new tests for all the new
  functionality below.

  Summary:

   - PMEM sub-division support: Allow a single PMEM region to be divided
     into multiple namespaces. Originally, ~2 years ago, it was thought
     that partitions of a /dev/pmemX block device could handle
     sub-allocations of persistent memory for different use cases. With
     the decision to not support DAX mappings of raw block-devices, and
     the genesis of device-dax, the need for having multiple
     pmem-namespace per region has grown.

   - Device-DAX unified inode: In support of dynamic-resizing of a
     device-dax instance the kernel arranges for all mappings of a
     device-dax node to share the same inode. This allows unmap /
     truncate / invalidation events to affect all instances of the
     device similar to the behavior of mmap on block devices.

   - Hardware error scrubbing reworks: The original address-range-scrub
     and badblocks tracking solution allowed clearing entries at the
     individual namespace level, but it failed to clear the internal
     list of media errors maintained at the bus level. The result was
     that the next scrub or namespace disable/re-enable event would
     restore the cleared badblocks, but now that is fixed. The v4.8
     kernel introduced an auto-scrub-on-machine-check behavior to
     repopulate the badblocks list. Now, in v4.9, the auto-scrub
     behavior can be disabled and simply arrange for the error reported
     in the machine-check to be added to the list.

   - DIMM health-event notification support: ACPI 6.1 defines a
     notification event code that can be send to ACPI NVDIMM devices. A
     poll(2) capable file descriptor for these events can be obtained
     from the nmemX/nfit/flags sysfs-attribute of a libnvdimm memory
     device.

   - Miscellaneous fixes: NVDIMM-N probe error, device-dax build error,
     and a change to dedup the flush hint list to not flush the memory
     controller more than necessary"

<title>ACPI / fan: Fix error reading cur_state</title>

On some platforms with ACPI4 variable speed fan, reading cur_state from
cooling device returns "invalid value" error. This confuses user space
applications.

This issue occurs as the current driver doesn't take account of
"FineGrainControl" from _FIF(Fan Information). When the "FineGrainControl"
is set, _FSL(FSL Set Level) takes argument as a percent, which doesn't
have to match from any control value from _FPS(Fan Performance States).
It is also possible that the Fan is not actually running at the requested
speed returning a lower speed.
On some platforms the BIOS is setting fan speed to a level during boot,
which will not have an exact match to _FPS control values. The current
implementation will treat this level as invalid value.

The simple change is to atleast return state corresponding to a maximum
control value in the _FPS compared to the current level.
