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)"

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.

'ARM Server Base Boot Requiremets' [1] mentions SPCR (Serial Port
Console Redirection Table) [2] as a mandatory ACPI table that
specifies the configuration of serial console.

Defer initialization of DT earlycon until ACPI/DT decision is made.

Parse the ACPI SPCR table, setup earlycon if required,
enable specified console.

Thanks to Peter Hurley for explaining how this should work.

Starting from Intel Skylake the iTCO watchdog timer registers were moved to
reside in the same register space with SMBus host controller.  Not all
needed registers are available though and we need to unhide P2SB (Primary
to Sideband) device briefly to be able to read status of required NO_REBOOT
bit. The i2c-i801.c SMBus driver used to handle this and creation of the
iTCO watchdog platform device.

Windows, on the other hand, does not use the iTCO watchdog hardware
directly even if it is available. Instead it relies on ACPI Watchdog Action
Table (WDAT) table to describe the watchdog hardware to the OS. This table
contains necessary information about the the hardware and also set of
actions which are executed by a driver as needed.

This patch implements a new watchdog driver that takes advantage of the
ACPI WDAT table. We split the functionality into two parts: first part
enumerates the WDAT table and if found, populates resources and creates
platform device for the actual driver. The second part is the driver
itself.

The reason for the split is that this way we can make the driver itself to
be a module and loaded automatically if the WDAT table is found. Otherwise
the module is not loaded.
