v3.18.131

This is the 3.18.131 stable release

devprop-4.21-rc1

Device properties framework updates for 4.21-rc1

 - Introduce "software nodes", analogous to the DT and ACPI firmware
   nodes except that they can be created by kernel code, in order to
   complement fwnodes representing real firmware nodes when they are
   incomplete (for example missing device properties) and to supply
   the primary fwnode when the firmware lacks hardware description
   for a device completely, and replace the "property_set" struct
   fwnode_handle type with software nodes (Heikki Krogerus).

 - Clean up the just introduced software nodes support and fix a commet
   in the graph-handling code (Colin Ian King, Marco Felsch).

acpi-4.21-rc1

ACPI updates for 4.21-rc1

 - Update the ACPICA code in the kernel to the 20181213 upstream
   revision including:
   * New Windows _OSI strings (Bob Moore, Jung-uk Kim).
   * Buffers-to-string conversions update (Bob Moore).
   * Removal of support for expressions in package elements (Bob
     Moore).
   * New option to display method/object evaluation in debug output
     (Bob Moore).
   * Compiler improvements (Bob Moore, Erik Schmauss).
   * Minor debugger fix (Erik Schmauss).
   * Disassembler improvement (Erik Schmauss).
   * Assorted cleanups (Bob Moore, Colin Ian King, Erik Schmauss).

 - Add support for a new OEM _OSI string to indicate special handling
   of secondary graphics adapters on some systems (Alex Hung).

 - Make it possible to build the ACPI subystem without PCI support
   (Sinan Kaya).

 - Make the SPCR table handling regard baud rate 0 in accordance with
   the specification of it and make the DSDT override code support
   DSDT code names generated by recent ACPICA (Andy Shevchenko, Wang
   Dongsheng, Nathan Chancellor).

 - Add clock frequency for Hisilicon Hip08 SPI controller to the ACPI
   driver for AMD SoCs (APD) (Jay Fang).

 - Fix the PM handling during device init in the ACPI driver for
   Intel SoCs (LPSS) (Hans de Goede).

 - Avoid double panic()s by clearing the APEI GHES block_status
   before panic() (Lenny Szubowicz).

 - Clean up a function invocation in the ACPI core and get rid of
   some code duplication by using the DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE macro
   in the APEI support code (Alexey Dobriyan, Yangtao Li).

pm-4.21-rc1

Power management updates for 4.21-rc1

 - Add sysadmin documentation for cpuidle (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Make it possible to specify a cpuidle governor from kernel
   command line, add new cpuidle state sysfs attributes for
   governor evaluation, and improve the "polling" idle state
   handling (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Fix the handling of the "required-opps" DT property in the
   operating performance points (OPP) framework, improve the
   integration of it with the generic power domains (genpd)
   framework, improve the handling of performance states in
   them and clean up the idle states vs performance states
   separation in genpd (Viresh Kumar, Ulf Hansson).

 - Add a cpufreq driver called "qcom-hw" for Qualcomm SoCs using
   a hardware engine to control CPU frequency transitions along
   with DT bindings for it (Taniya Das).

 - Fix an intel_pstate driver issue related to CPU offline and
   update the documentation of it (Srinivas Pandruvada).

 - Clean up the imx6q cpufreq driver (Anson Huang).

 - Add SPDX license IDs to cpufreq schedutil governor files (Daniel
   Lezcano).

 - Switch over the runtime PM framework to using high-res timers
   for device autosuspend to allow the control of it to be more
   precise (Vincent Guittot).

 - Disable non-wakeup ACPI GPEs during suspend-to-idle so that they
   don't prevent the system from reaching the target low-power state
   and simplify the suspend-to-idle handling on ACPI platforms
   without full Low-Power S0 Idle (LPS0) support (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Add system-wide suspend and resume support to the devfreq
   framework (Lukasz Luba).

 - Clean up the SmartReflex adaptive voltage scaling (AVS) driver and
   add an SPDX license ID to it (Nishanth Menon, Uwe Kleine-König,
   Thomas Meyer).

 - Get rid of code duplication by using the DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE
   macro in some places, fix some DT node refcount leaks, and do
   some other janitorial cleanups (Yangtao Li).

 - Update the cpupower, intel_pstate_tracer and turbosat utilities
   (Abhishek Goel, Doug Smythies, Len Brown).

sunxi-dt64-for-4.21-2

Allwinner arm64 DT changes for 4.21 - round 2

Bluetooth using a Broadcom (now Cypress) chip connected to an UART on
the Bananapi M64 is enabled using serdev and the updated bindings for
Broadcom Bluetooth. The patch series had been sitting on the mailing
lists for a month, and the driver bits were just merged on 2018/12/19.

sunxi-dt-for-4.21-2

Allwinner DT changes for 4.21 - round 2

This is a small pull request for some lingering things that didn't make
the first round of patches.

First, the new suniv device tree included device tree headers for the
clock and reset indices. These header filers are going in through the
clock tree. Thus with the dt and core branches in arm-soc alone, it
doesn't build. One fix is included to remove the #include statements.
The defined macros aren't used yet as they were properly removed during
the review phase.

Second, Bluetooth using Broadcom (now Cypress) chips connected to UARTs
on various boards is enabled using serdev and the updated bindings for
Broadcom Bluetooth. The patch series had been sitting on the mailing
lists for a month, and the driver bits were just merged on 2018/12/19.
