Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "From the number of commits perspective, the biggest items are ACPICA
  and cpufreq changes with the latter taking the lead (over 50 commits).

  On the cpufreq front, there are many cleanups and minor fixes in the
  core and governors, driver updates etc.  We also have a new cpufreq
  driver for Mediatek MT8173 chips.

  ACPICA mostly updates its debug infrastructure and adds a number of
  fixes and cleanups for a good measure.

  The Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework is updated with new
  DT bindings and support for them among other things.

  We have a few updates of the generic power domains framework and a
  reorganization of the ACPI device enumeration code and bus type
  operations.

  And a lot of fixes and cleanups all over.

  Included is one branch from the MFD tree as it contains some
  PM-related driver core and ACPI PM changes a few other commits are
  based on.

  Specifics:

   - ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150818 including method
     tracing extensions to allow more in-depth AML debugging in the
     kernel and a number of assorted fixes and cleanups (Bob Moore, Lv
     Zheng, Markus Elfring).

   - ACPI sysfs code updates and a documentation update related to AML
     method tracing (Lv Zheng).

   - ACPI EC driver fix related to serialized evaluations of _Qxx
     methods and ACPI tools updates allowing the EC userspace tool to be
     built from the kernel source (Lv Zheng).

   - ACPI processor driver updates preparing it for future introduction
     of CPPC support and ACPI PCC mailbox driver updates (Ashwin
     Chaugule).

   - ACPI interrupts enumeration fix for a regression related to the
     handling of IRQ attribute conflicts between MADT and the ACPI
     namespace (Jiang Liu).

   - Fixes related to ACPI device PM (Mika Westerberg, Srinidhi
     Kasagar).

   - ACPI device registration code reorganization to separate the
     sysfs-related code and bus type operations from the rest (Rafael J
     Wysocki).

   - Assorted cleanups in the ACPI core (Jarkko Nikula, Mathias Krause,
     Andy Shevchenko, Rafael J Wysocki, Nicolas Iooss).

   - ACPI cpufreq driver and ia64 cpufreq driver fixes and cleanups (Pan
     Xinhui, Rafael J Wysocki).

   - cpufreq core cleanups on top of the previous changes allowing it to
     preseve its sysfs directories over system suspend/resume (Viresh
     Kumar, Rafael J Wysocki, Sebastian Andrzej Siewior).

   - cpufreq fixes and cleanups related to governors (Viresh Kumar).

   - cpufreq updates (core and the cpufreq-dt driver) related to the
     turbo/boost mode support (Viresh Kumar, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz).

   - New DT bindings for Operating Performance Points (OPP), support for
     them in the OPP framework and in the cpufreq-dt driver plus related
     OPP framework fixes and cleanups (Viresh Kumar).

   - cpufreq powernv driver updates (Shilpasri G Bhat).

   - New cpufreq driver for Mediatek MT8173 (Pi-Cheng Chen).

   - Assorted cpufreq driver (speedstep-lib, sfi, integrator) cleanups
     and fixes (Abhilash Jindal, Andrzej Hajda, Cristian Ardelean).

   - intel_pstate driver updates including Skylake-S support, support
     for enabling HW P-states per CPU and an additional vendor bypass
     list entry (Kristen Carlson Accardi, Chen Yu, Ethan Zhao).

   - cpuidle core fixes related to the handling of coupled idle states
     (Xunlei Pang).

   - intel_idle driver updates including Skylake Client support and
     support for freeze-mode-specific idle states (Len Brown).

   - Driver core updates related to power management (Andy Shevchenko,
     Rafael J Wysocki).

   - Generic power domains framework fixes and cleanups (Jon Hunter,
     Geert Uytterhoeven, Rajendra Nayak, Ulf Hansson).

   - Device PM QoS framework update to allow the latency tolerance
     setting to be exposed to user space via sysfs (Mika Westerberg).

   - devfreq support for PPMUv2 in Exynos5433 and a fix for an incorrect
     exynos-ppmu DT binding (Chanwoo Choi, Javier Martinez Canillas).

   - System sleep support updates (Alan Stern, Len Brown, SungEun Kim).

   - rockchip-io AVS support updates (Heiko Stuebner).

   - PM core clocks support fixup (Colin Ian King).

   - Power capping RAPL driver update including support for Skylake H/S
     and Broadwell-H (Radivoje Jovanovic, Seiichi Ikarashi).

   - Generic device properties framework fixes related to the handling
     of static (driver-provided) property sets (Andy Shevchenko).

   - turbostat and cpupower updates (Len Brown, Shilpasri G Bhat,

<content type='text'>
This change initializes the PCC Mailbox earlier than
the ACPI processor driver. This enables drivers introduced
in follow up patches (e.g. CPPC) to be probed via the ACPI
processor driver interface. The CPPC probe requires the PCC
channel to be initialized for it to query each CPUs performance
capabilities.

<id>urn:sha1:86e488adaab77a733b01e759bf7bfda054479660</id>
<content type='text'>
Since the mailbox core users hrtimers now, it can handle much higher
resolutions. We can reduce the txpoll_period to 1 ms as the transmit
usually takes just few microseconds.

<id>urn:sha1:0cc67945ea5933d53db69606312cf52f553d1b81</id>
<content type='text'>
The mailbox core uses jiffy based timer to handle polling for the
transmit completion. If the client/protocol have/support notification
of the last packet transmit completion via ACK packet, then we tick the
Tx state machine immediately in the callback. However if the client
doesn't support that mechanism we might end-up waiting for atleast a
jiffy even though the remote is ready to receive the next request.

This patch switches the timer used for that polling from jiffy-based
to hrtimer-based so that we can support polling at much higher time
resolution.

Pull module_init replacement part two from Paul Gortmaker:
 "Replace module_init with appropriate alternate initcall in non
  modules.

  This series converts non-modular code that is using the module_init()
  call to hook itself into the system to instead use one of our
  alternate priority initcalls.

  Unlike the previous series that used device_initcall and hence was a
  runtime no-op, these commits change to one of the alternate initcalls,
  because (a) we have them and (b) it seems like the right thing to do.

  For example, it would seem logical to use arch_initcall for arch
  specific setup code and fs_initcall for filesystem setup code.

  This does mean however, that changes in the init ordering will be
  taking place, and so there is a small risk that some kind of implicit
  init ordering issue may lie uncovered.  But I think it is still better
  to give these ones sensible priorities than to just assign them all to
  device_initcall in order to exactly preserve the old ordering.

  Thad said, we have already made similar changes in core kernel code in
  commit c96d6660dc65 ("kernel: audit/fix non-modular users of
  module_init in core code") without any regressions reported, so this
  type of change isn't without precedent.  It has also got the same
  local testing and linux-next coverage as all the other pull requests
  that I'm sending for this merge window have got.

  Once again, there is an unused module_exit function removal that shows
  up as an outlier upon casual inspection of the diffstat"

<content type='text'>
The drivers/mailbox/pl320-ipc.o is dependent on config PL320_MBOX
which is declared as a bool.  Hence the code is never going to be
modular.  So using module_init as an alias for __initcall can be
somewhat misleading.

Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from
init.h into module.h in the future.  If we don't do this, we'd
have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that
would be a worse thing.  Also add an inclusion of init.h, as
that was previously implicit.

Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one
of the priority categorized subgroups.  As __initcall gets
mapped onto device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which
seems to make sense for IPC code) will thus change this
registration from level 6-device to level 4-subsys (i.e. slightly
earlier).  However no impact of that small difference is expected.
