Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These rearrange the ACPI documentation by converting it to the .rst
  format and splitting it into clear categories (admin guide, driver
  API, firmware guide), switch over multiple users of a problematic
  library function to a new better one, update the ACPICA code in the
  kernel to a new upstream release, fix a few issues, improve power
  device management diagnostics and do some cleanups.

  Specifics:

   - Convert the ACPI documentation in the kernel source tree to the
     .rst format and split it into the admin guide, driver API and
     firmware guide parts (Changbin Du).

   - Add a PRP0001 usage example to the ACPI documentation (Thomas
     Preston).

   - Switch over the users of the acpi_dev_get_first_match_name()
     library function which turned out to be problematic to a new,
     better one called acpi_dev_get_first_match_dev() (Andy Shevchenko,
     YueHaibing).

   - Update the ACPICA code in the kernel to upstream release 20190405
     including:
       * Null pointer dereference check in acpi_ns_delete_node() (Erik
         Schmauss).
       * Multiple macro and function name changes (Bob Moore).
       * Predefined operation region name fix (Erik Schmauss).

   - Fix hibernation issue on systems using the Baytrail and Cherrytrail
     Intel SoCs introduced during the 4.20 development cycle (Hans de
     Goede).

   - Add Sony VPCEH3U1E to the backlight quirk list (Zhang Rui).

   - Fix button handling during system resume (Zhang Rui).

   - Add a device PM diagnostic message (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Clean up the code, comments and white space in multiple places
     (Bjorn Helgaas, Gustavo Silva, Kefeng Wang)"

-Linux ACPI Custom Control Method How To
-=======================================
-
-Written by Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com>
-
-
-Linux supports customizing ACPI control methods at runtime.
-
-Users can use this to
-1. override an existing method which may not work correctly,
-   or just for debugging purposes.
-2. insert a completely new method in order to create a missing
-   method such as _OFF, _ON, _STA, _INI, etc.
-For these cases, it is far simpler to dynamically install a single
-control method rather than override the entire DSDT, because kernel
-rebuild/reboot is not needed and test result can be got in minutes.
-
-Note: Only ACPI METHOD can be overridden, any other object types like
-      "Device", "OperationRegion", are not recognized. Methods
-      declared inside scope operators are also not supported.
-Note: The same ACPI control method can be overridden for many times,
-      and it's always the latest one that used by Linux/kernel.
-Note: To get the ACPI debug object output (Store (AAAA, Debug)),
-      please run "echo 1 > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/aml_debug_output".
-
-1. override an existing method
-   a) get the ACPI table via ACPI sysfs I/F. e.g. to get the DSDT,
-      just run "cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT > /tmp/dsdt.dat"
-   b) disassemble the table by running "iasl -d dsdt.dat".
-   c) rewrite the ASL code of the method and save it in a new file,
-   d) package the new file (psr.asl) to an ACPI table format.
-      Here is an example of a customized \_SB._AC._PSR method,
-
-      DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 1, "", "", 0x20080715)
-      {
-	Method (\_SB_.AC._PSR, 0, NotSerialized)
-	{
-		Store ("In AC _PSR", Debug)
-		Return (ACON)
-	}
-      }
-      Note that the full pathname of the method in ACPI namespace
-      should be used.
-   e) assemble the file to generate the AML code of the method.
-      e.g. "iasl -vw 6084 psr.asl" (psr.aml is generated as a result)
-      If parameter "-vw 6084" is not supported by your iASL compiler,
-      please try a newer version.
-   f) mount debugfs by "mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug"
-   g) override the old method via the debugfs by running
-      "cat /tmp/psr.aml > /sys/kernel/debug/acpi/custom_method"
-
-2. insert a new method
-   This is easier than overriding an existing method.
-   We just need to create the ASL code of the method we want to
-   insert and then follow the step c) ~ g) in section 1.
-
-3. undo your changes
-   The "undo" operation is not supported for a new inserted method
-   right now, i.e. we can not remove a method currently.
-   For an overridden method, in order to undo your changes, please
-   save a copy of the method original ASL code in step c) section 1,
-   and redo step c) ~ g) to override the method with the original one.
-
-
-Note: We can use a kernel with multiple custom ACPI method running,
-      But each individual write to debugfs can implement a SINGLE
-      method override. i.e. if we want to insert/override multiple
-      ACPI methods, we need to redo step c) ~ g) for multiple times.
-
-Note: Be aware that root can mis-use this driver to modify arbitrary
-      memory and gain additional rights, if root's privileges got
-      restricted (for example if root is not allowed to load additional
-      modules after boot).
