Merge tag 'acpi-4.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm
Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki: "These update the ACPICA code in the kernel to upstream revision 20170119, which among other things updates copyright notices in all of the ACPICA files, fix a couple of issues in the ACPI EC and button drivers, fix modalias handling for non-discoverable devices with DT-compatible identification strings, add a suspend quirk for one platform and fix a message in the APEI code. Specifics: - Update of the ACPICA code in the kernel to upstream revision 20170119 including: + Fixes related to the handling of the bit width and bit offset fields in Generic Address Structure (Lv Zheng) + ACPI resources handling fix related to invalid resource descriptors (Bob Moore) + Fix to enable implicit result conversion for several ASL library functions (Bob Moore) + Support for method invocations as target operands in AML (Bob Moore) + Fix to use a correct operand type for DeRefOf() in some situations (Bob Moore) + Utilities updates (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng) + Disassembler/debugger updates (David Box, Lv Zheng) + Build fixes (Colin Ian King, Lv Zheng) + Update of copyright notices in all files (Bob Moore) - Fix for modalias handling for SPI and I2C devices with DT-compatible identification strings (Dan O'Donovan) - Fixes for the ACPI EC and button drivers (Lv Zheng) - ACPI processor handling fix related to CPU hotplug (online/offline) on x86 (Vitaly Kuznetsov) - Suspend quirk to save/restore NVS memory over S3 transitions for Lenovo G50-45 (Zhang Rui) - Message formatting fix for the ACPI APEI code (Colin Ian King)" * tag 'acpi-4.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (32 commits) ACPICA: Update version to 20170119 ACPICA: Tools: Update common signon, remove compilation bit width ACPICA: Source tree: Update copyright notices to 2017 ACPICA: Linuxize: Restore and fix Intel compiler build x86/ACPI: keep x86_cpu_to_acpiid mapping valid on CPU hotplug spi: acpi: Initialize modalias from of_compatible i2c: acpi: Initialize info.type from of_compatible ACPI / bus: Introduce acpi_of_modalias() equiv of of_modalias_node() ACPI: save NVS memory for Lenovo G50-45 ACPI, APEI, EINJ: fix malformed newline escape ACPI / button: Remove lid_init_state=method mode ACPI / button: Change default behavior to lid_init_state=open ACPI / EC: Use busy polling mode when GPE is not enabled ACPI / EC: Remove old CLEAR_ON_RESUME quirk ACPICA: Update version to 20161222 ACPICA: Parser: Update parse info table for some operators ACPICA: Fix a problem with recent extra support for control method invocations ACPICA: Parser: Allow method invocations as target operands ACPICA: Fix for implicit result conversion for the ToXXX functions ACPICA: Resources: Not a valid resource if buffer length too long ..

If the userspace hasn't been prepared to ignore the unreliable "opened"

the following kernel parameters to handle the possible issues:
-A. button.lid_init_state=method:
- When this option is specified, the ACPI button driver reports the
- initial lid state using the returning value of the _LID control method
- and whether the "opened"/"closed" events are paired fully relies on the

- This option can be used to fix some platforms where the returning value
- of the _LID control method is reliable but the initial lid state
