Merge tag 'acpi-4.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm

Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"These are some device enumeration code changes, updates of the AC and
battery drivers to help them avoid attaching to devices that cannot be
handled by them, new operation region driver for the Intel CHT Whiskey
Cove PMIC, new sysfs entries for CPPC performance capabilities, a new
_REV quirk blacklist entry and a couple of assorted minor fixes and
cleanups.

Specifics:

- Update the core device enumeration code to make it more internally
consistent and robust and drop the force_remove sysfs attribute
that could be used to tell it to ignore errors on device
hot-removal which was dangerous in general and no real and still
relevant use cases for it could be found (Rafael Wysocki, Michal
Hocko).

- Make the core device enumeration code use _PXM to associate
platform devices created by it with specific NUMA nodes (Shanker
Donthineni).

- Extend the CPPC library by adding more sysfs entries for
performance capabilities to it and making it use the lowest
nonlinear performance parameter (Prashanth Prakash).

- Make the CPU online more consistent with CPU initialization in the
ACPI processor driver (Prashanth Prakash).

- Update the AC and battery drivers to help them avoid attaching to
devices that cannot be handled by them and update the
axp288_charger power supply driver to work correctly on ACPI
systems without the INT3496 device (Hans de Goede).

- Add an ACPI operation region driver for the Intel CHT Whiskey Cove
PMIC and update the xpower operation region driver to work without
IIO which isn't really necessary for it to work (Hans de Goede).

- Add a new entry for Dell Inspiron 7537 to the _REV quirk blacklist
(Kai Heng Feng).

- Make the code in the ACPI video driver easier to follow by adding
symbols and comments to it (Dmitry Frank).

- Update ACPI documentation and drop a function that has no users
from the tables-handling code (Cao jin, Baoquan He)"

ACPI / scan: Drop support for force_remove

/sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/force_remove was presumably added to support
auto offlining in the past. This is, however, inherently dangerous for
some hotplugable resources like memory. The memory offlining fails when
the memory is still in use and cannot be dropped or migrated. If we
ignore the failure we are basically allowing for subtle memory
corruption or a crash.

We have actually noticed the later while hitting BUG() during the memory
hotremove (remove_memory):
ret = walk_memory_range(PFN_DOWN(start), PFN_UP(start + size - 1), NULL,
check_memblock_offlined_cb);
if (ret)
BUG();

it took us quite non-trivial time realize that the customer had
force_remove enabled. Even if the BUG was removed here and we could
propagate the error up the call chain it wouldn't help at all because
then we would hit a crash or a memory corruption later and harder to
debug. So force_remove is unfixable for the memory hotremove. We haven't
checked other hotplugable resources to be prone to a similar problems.

Remove the force_remove functionality because it is not fixable currently.
Keep the sysfs file and report an error if somebody tries to enable it.
Encourage users to report about the missing functionality and work with
them with an alternative solution.
