<content type='text'>
Several Bay / Cherry Trail devices (all of which ship with Windows 10) hide
the LPSS PWM controller in ACPI, typically the _STA method looks like this:

    Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)  // _STA: Status
    {
        If (OSID == One)
        {
            Return (Zero)
        }

        Return (0x0F)
    }

Where OSID is some dark magic seen in all Cherry Trail ACPI tables making
the machine behave differently depending on which OS it *thinks* it is
booting, this gets set in a number of ways which we cannot control, on
some newer machines it simple hardcoded to "One" aka win10.

This causes the PWM controller to get hidden, which means Linux cannot
control the backlight level on cht based tablets / laptops.

Since loading the driver for this does no harm (the only in kernel user
of it is the i915 driver, which will only uses it when it needs it), this
commit makes acpi_bus_get_status() always set status to ACPI_STA_DEFAULT
for the LPSS PWM device, fixing the lack of backlight control.

support for the Thermal opregion (DPTF) due to lacking documentation.

Paul Menzel reported a warning:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 774 at /build/linux-ROBWaj/linux-4.9.13/kernel/trace/trace_functions_graph.c:233 ftrace_return_to_handler+0x1aa/0x1e0
  Bad frame pointer: expected f6919d98, received f6919db0
    from func acpi_pm_device_sleep_wake return to c43b6f9d

The warning means that function graph tracing is broken for the
acpi_pm_device_sleep_wake() function.  That's because the ACPI Makefile
unconditionally sets the '-Os' gcc flag to optimize for size.  That's an
issue because mcount-based function graph tracing is incompatible with
'-Os' on x86, thanks to the following gcc bug:

  https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42109

I have another patch pending which will ensure that mcount-based
function graph tracing is never used with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE on
x86.

But this patch is needed in addition to that one because the ACPI
Makefile overrides that config option for no apparent reason.  It has
had this flag since the beginning of git history, and there's no related
comment, so I don't know why it's there.  As far as I can tell, there's
no reason for it to be there.  The appropriate behavior is for it to
honor CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_{SIZE,PERFORMANCE} like the rest of the
kernel.

<title>ACPI: Add support for ResourceSource/IRQ domain mapping</title>

<content type='text'>
ACPI extended IRQ resources may contain a ResourceSource to specify
an alternate interrupt controller. Introduce acpi_irq_get and use it
to implement ResourceSource/IRQ domain mapping.

The new API is similar to of_irq_get and allows re-initialization
of a platform resource from the ACPI extended IRQ resource, and
provides proper behavior for probe deferral when the domain is not
yet present when called.

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.

'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.

<title>ACPI / watchdog: Add support for WDAT hardware watchdog</title>

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.

<title>ACPI: I/O Remapping Table (IORT) initial support</title>

IORT shows representation of IO topology for ARM based systems.
It describes how various components are connected together on
parent-child basis e.g. PCI RC -&gt; SMMU -&gt; ITS. Also see IORT spec.
http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.den0049b/DEN0049B_IO_Remapping_Table.pdf

Initial support allows to detect IORT table presence and save its
root pointer obtained through acpi_get_table(). The pointer validity
depends on acpi_gbl_permanent_mmap because if acpi_gbl_permanent_mmap
is not set while using IORT nodes we would dereference unmapped pointers.

For the aforementioned reason call acpi_iort_init() from acpi_init()
which guarantees acpi_gbl_permanent_mmap to be set at that point.

Add generic helpers which are helpful for scanning and retrieving
information from IORT table content. List of the most important helpers:
- iort_find_dev_node() finds IORT node for a given device
- iort_node_map_rid() maps device RID and returns IORT node which provides
  final translation

IORT support is placed under drivers/acpi/arm64/ new directory due to its
ARM64 specific nature. The code there is considered only for ARM64.
The long term plan is to keep all ARM64 specific tables support
in this place e.g. GTDT table.
