Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The majority of this is an update of the ACPICA kernel code to
  upstream revision 20171215 with a cosmetic change and a maintainers
  information update on top of it.

  The rest is mostly some minor fixes and cleanups in the ACPI drivers
  and cleanups to initialization on x86.

  Specifics:

   - Update the ACPICA kernel code to upstream revision 20171215 including:
      * Support for ACPI 6.0A changes in the NFIT table (Bob Moore)
      * Local 64-bit divide in string conversions (Bob Moore)
      * Fix for a regression in acpi_evaluate_object_type() (Bob Moore)
      * Fixes for memory leaks during package object resolution (Bob
        Moore)
      * Deployment of safe version of strncpy() (Bob Moore)
      * Debug and messaging updates (Bob Moore)
      * Support for PDTT, SDEV, TPM2 tables in iASL and tools (Bob
        Moore)
      * Null pointer dereference avoidance in Op and cleanups (Colin Ian
        King)
      * Fix for memory leak from building prefixed pathname (Erik
        Schmauss)
      * Coding style fixes, disassembler and compiler updates (Hanjun
        Guo, Erik Schmauss)
      * Additional PPTT flags from ACPI 6.2 (Jeremy Linton)
      * Fix for an off-by-one error in acpi_get_timer_duration()
        (Jung-uk Kim)
      * Infinite loop detection timeout and utilities cleanups (Lv
        Zheng)
      * Windows 10 version 1607 and 1703 OSI strings (Mario
        Limonciello)

   - Update ACPICA information in MAINTAINERS to reflect the current
     status of ACPICA maintenance and rename a local variable in one
     function to match the corresponding upstream code (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Clean up ACPI-related initialization on x86 (Andy Shevchenko)

   - Add support for Intel Merrifield to the ACPI GPIO code (Andy
     Shevchenko)

   - Clean up ACPI PMIC drivers (Andy Shevchenko, Arvind Yadav)

   - Fix the ACPI Generic Event Device (GED) driver to free IRQs on
     shutdown and clean up the PCI IRQ Link driver (Sinan Kaya)

   - Make the GHES code call into the AER driver on all errors and clean
     up the ACPI APEI code (Colin Ian King, Tyler Baicar)

   - Make the IA64 ACPI NUMA code parse all SRAT entries (Ganapatrao
     Kulkarni)

   - Add a lid switch blacklist to the ACPI button driver and make it
     print extra debug messages on lid events (Hans de Goede)

   - Add quirks for Asus GL502VSK and UX305LA to the ACPI battery driver
     and clean it up somewhat (Bjørn Mork, Kai-Heng Feng)

   - Add device link for CHT SD card dependency on I2C to the ACPI LPSS
     (Intel SoCs) driver and make it avoid creating platform device
     objects for devices without MMIO resources (Adrian Hunter, Hans de
     Goede)

   - Fix the ACPI GPE mask kernel command line parameter handling
     (Prarit Bhargava)

   - Fix the handling of (incorrectly exposed) backlight interfaces
     without LCD (Hans de Goede)

   - Fix the usage of debugfs_create_*() in the ACPI EC driver (Geert
     Uytterhoeven)"
