- Fix for an intel_pstate driver issue related to the handling of
    MSR updates uncovered by the recent cpufreq rework (Rafael Wysocki).
 
  - cpufreq core cleanups related to starting governors and frequency

  - acpi-cpufreq and powernv cpufreq driver updates (Jisheng Zhang,

  - intel_idle driver update preventing some Skylake-H systems
    from hanging during initialization by disabling deep C-states

  - Intel Xeon Phi Processor x200 support for intel_idle (Dasaratharaman
    Chandramouli).
 
  - cpuidle menu governor updates to make it always honor PM QoS
    latency constraints (and prevent C1 from being used as the
    fallback C-state on x86 when they are set below its exit latency)
    and to restore the previous behavior to fall back to C1 if the next
    timer event is set far enough in the future that was changed in 4.4
    which led to an energy consumption regression (Rik van Riel, Rafael

    resources parsing for PCI host bridges in 4.4 (Lorenzo Pieralisi).
 
  - Fix for the ACPI backend of the generic device properties API
    to make it parse non-device (data node only) children of an

Merge tag 'pm+acpi-4.6-rc1-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm

Pull more power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The second batch of power management and ACPI updates for v4.6.

  Included are fixups on top of the previous PM/ACPI pull request and
  other material that didn't make into it but still should go into 4.6.

  Among other things, there's a fix for an intel_pstate driver issue
  uncovered by recent cpufreq changes, a workaround for a boot hang on
  Skylake-H related to the handling of deep C-states by the platform and
  a PCI/ACPI fix for the handling of IO port resources on non-x86
  architectures plus some new device IDs and similar.

  Specifics:

   - Fix for an intel_pstate driver issue related to the handling of MSR
     updates uncovered by the recent cpufreq rework (Rafael Wysocki).

   - cpufreq core cleanups related to starting governors and frequency
     synchronization during resume from system suspend and a locking fix
     for cpufreq_quick_get() (Rafael Wysocki, Richard Cochran).

   - acpi-cpufreq and powernv cpufreq driver updates (Jisheng Zhang,

     event is set far enough in the future that was changed in 4.4 which
     led to an energy consumption regression (Rik van Riel, Rafael
     Wysocki).

   - New device ID for a future AMD UART controller in the ACPI driver
     for AMD SoCs (Wang Hongcheng).

   - Rockchip rk3399 support for the rockchip-io-domain adaptive voltage
     scaling (AVS) driver (David Wu).

     resources on architectures where the IO space is memory mapped
