Merge tag 'acpi-4.10-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm

Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The ACPICA code in the kernel gets updated as usual (included is
  upstream revision 20160930 and a few commits from the next one, with
  the rest waiting for an issue discovered in linux-next to be
  addressed) which brings in a couple of fixes and cleanups

  On top of that initial support for APEI on ARM64 is added, two new
  pieces of documentation are introduced, the properties-parsing code is
  updated to follow changes in the (external) documentation it is based
  on and there are a few updates of SoC drivers, some new blacklist
  entries, plus some assorted fixes and cleanups

  Specifics:

   - ACPICA update including upstream revision 20160930 and several
     commits beyond it (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng)

   - Initial support for ACPI APEI on ARM64 (Tomasz Nowicki)

   - New document describing the handling of _OSI and _REV in Linux (Len
     Brown)

   - New document describing the usage rules for _DSD properties (Rafael
     Wysocki)

   - Update of the ACPI properties-parsing code to reflect recent
     changes in the (external) documentation it is based on (Rafael
     Wysocki)

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
