Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These are usual ACPICA code updates (although there are more of them
  than in the last few releases), a noticeable EC driver update (which
  mostly consists of cleanups, though), the device enumeration quirks
  handling rework from Hans, some updates eliminating unnecessary CPU
  cache flushing in some places (processor idle and system-wide PM code)
  and a bunch of assorted cleanups and fixes.

  Specifics:

   - Update ACPICA code in the kernel to the 20211217 upstream release
     including the following changes:

      - iASL/Disassembler: Additional support for NHLT table (Bob
        Moore).
      - Change a return_ACPI_STATUS (AE_BAD_PARAMETER) (Bob Moore).
      - Fix a couple of warnings under MSVC (Bob Moore).
      - iASL: Add TDEL table to both compiler/disassembler (Bob Moore).
      - iASL/NHLT table: "Specific Data" field support (Bob Moore).
      - Use original data_table_region pointer for accesses (Jessica
        Clarke).
      - Use original pointer for virtual origin tables (Jessica Clarke).
      - Macros: Remove ACPI_PHYSADDR_TO_PTR (Jessica Clarke).
      - Avoid subobject buffer overflow when validating RSDP signature
        (Jessica Clarke).
      - iASL: Add suppport for AGDI table (Ilkka Koskinen).
      - Hardware: Do not flush CPU cache when entering S4 and S5 (Kirill
        A. Shutemov).
      - Expand the ACPI_ACCESS_ definitions (Mark Langsdorf).
      - Utilities: Avoid deleting the same object twice in a row (Rafael
        Wysocki).
      - Executer: Fix REFCLASS_REFOF case in acpi_ex_opcode_1A_0T_1R()
        (Rafael Wysocki).
      - Fix AEST Processor generic resource substructure data field byte
        length (Shuuichirou Ishii).
      - Fix wrong interpretation of PCC address (Sudeep Holla).
      - Add support for PCC Opregion special context data (Sudeep
        Holla).

   - Implement OperationRegion handler for PCC Type 3 subtype (Sudeep
     Holla).

   - Introduce acpi_fetch_acpi_dev() as a replacement for
     acpi_bus_get_device() and use it in the ACPI subsystem (Rafael
     Wysocki).

   - Avoid using _CID for device enumaration if _HID is missing or
     invalid (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Rework quirk handling during ACPI device enumeration and add some
     new quirks for known broken platforms (Hans de Goede).

   - Avoid unnecessary or redundant CPU cache flushing during system PM
     transitions (Kirill A. Shutemov).

   - Add PM debug messages related to power resources (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Fix kernel-doc comment in the PCI host bridge ACPI driver (Yang
     Li).

   - Rework flushing of EC work while suspended to idle and clean up the
     handling of events in the ACPI EC driver (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Prohibit ec_sys module parameter write_support from being used when
     the system is locked down (Hans de Goede).

   - Make the ACPI processor thermal driver use cpufreq_cpu_get() to
     check for presence of cpufreq policy (Manfred Spraul).

   - Avoid unnecessary CPU cache flushing in the ACPI processor idle
     driver (Kirill A. Shutemov).

   - Replace kernel.h with the necessary inclusions in the ACPI
     processor driver (Andy Shevchenko).

   - Use swap() instead of open coding it in the ACPI processor idle
     driver (Guo Zhengkui).

   - Fix the handling of defective LPAT in the ACPI xpower PMIC driver
     and clean up some definitions of PMIC data structures (Hans de
     Goede).

   - Fix outdated comment in the ACPI DPTF driver (Sumeet Pawnikar).

   - Add AEST to the list of known ACPI table signatures (Shuuichirou
     Ishii).

   - Make ACPI NUMA code take hotpluggable memblocks into account when
     CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG is not set (Vitaly Kuznetsov).

   - Use default_groups in kobj_type in the ACPI sysfs code (Greg
     Kroah-Hartman).

   - Rearrange _CPC structure documentation (Andy Shevchenko).

   - Drop an always true check from the ACPI thermal driver (Adam
     Borowski).

   - Add new "not charging" quirk for Lenovo ThinkPads to the ACPI
     battery driver (Thomas Weißschuh)"
