Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki: - ACPI tables in some BIOSes list device resources with size equal to 0, which doesn't make sense, so we should ignore them, but instead we try to use them and mangle things completely. Fix from Zhang Rui. - Several models of Samsung laptops accumulate EC events when they are in sleep states which leads to EC buffer overflows that prevent new events from being signaled after system resume or reboot. This has been affecting many users for quite a while and may be addressed by clearing the EC buffer during system resume and system startup on those machines. From Kieran Clancy. - If the ACPI sleep control and status registers are not present (which happens if the Hardware Reduced ACPI mode bit is set in the ACPI tables, but also may result from BIOS bugs), we should not try to use ACPI to power off the system and ACPI S5 should not be listed as supported. Fix from Aubrey Li. - There's a race condition in cpufreq_get() that leads to a kernel crash if that function is called at a wrong time. Fix from Aaron Plattner. - cpufreq policy objects have to be initialized entirely before they are first accessed by their users which isn't the case currently and that potentially leads to various kinds of breakage that is difficult to debug. Fix from Viresh Kumar. - Locking is missing in __cpufreq_add_dev() which leads to a race condition that may trigger a kernel crash.
