Merge tag 'pm-for-3.4-part-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm

Pull more power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 - Patch series that hopefully fixes races between the freezer and
   request_firmware() and request_firmware_nowait() for good, with two
   cleanups from Stephen Boyd on top.
 - Runtime PM fix from Alan Stern preventing tasks from getting stuck
   indefinitely in the runtime PM wait queue.
 - Device PM QoS update from MyungJoo Ham introducing a new variant of
   pm_qos_update_request() allowing the callers to specify a timeout.
