Merge series "regulator: bd718x7: support voltage scaling" from Matti Vaittinen <matti.vaittinen@fi.rohmeurope.com>:

RFC for adding a support for typical voltage scaling connection

In few occasions there has been a need to scale the voltage output
from bucks on BD71837. Usually this is done when buck8 is used to
power specific GPU which can utilize voltages down to 0.7V. As lowest
the buck8 on BD71837 can go is 0.8V, and external connection is used to
scale the voltages.

The BD71837, BD71847 and BD71850 bucks can be adjusted by pulling up the
feedback pin using suitable voltage/resistors.

|---------------|
| buck 8 |-------+----->Vout
| | |
|---------------| |
| |
| |
+-------+--R2----+
|
R1
|
V FB-pull-up

This will scale the voltage as follows:
- Vout_o = Vo - (Vpu - Vo)*R2/R1
- Linear_step = step_orig*(R1+R2)/R1
where:
Vout_o is adjusted voltage output at vsel reg value 0
Vo is original voltage output at vsel reg value 0
Vpu is the pull-up voltage V FB-pull-up in the picture
R1 and R2 are resistor values.

>From HW point of view this does not need to be limited to buck 8. This
connection can be used to adjust output from any of the bucks on
BD71837/47/50.

As this seems to be a 'de-facto' way to scale the voltages on BD71837 it
might be a good idea to support computing the new voltage ranges for
bucks based on the V-pull-up and resistor R1/R2 values given from
device-tree. This allows describing the external HW connection using DT
to correctly scale the voltages.

This RFC uses "rohm,feedback-pull-up-r1-ohms" and
"rohm,feedback-pull-up-r2-ohms" to provide the resistor values - but
these names (without the picture) might not be too descriptive. I am
grateful for all suggestions as better and more descriptive names.

This patch series is an RFC because this connection feels somewhat
"hacky". OTOH - when hack becomes widely used, it is less of an hack and
more of a standard - and occasionally supporting HW hacks using SW may
benefit us all, right? :)

The other thing some projects do is allowing the change of BD71837 buck8
voltages when buck8 is enabled. This however will introduce voltage
spikes as buck8 was not originally designed for this. The specific HW
platform must be evaluated to be able to tolerate these spikes. Thus
this patch series does not support buck8 voltage changes when buck8 is
enabled. I wonder if this should be allowed per some config option(?) I
don't want to help people frying their boards... Opinions? Is there
suggested way of allowing this type of features at own risk? Config or
even Some #ifdef which is not listed in Kconfig? Device-tree property?
If you have (good) suggestions I could add the optional (non default)
DVS support for non DVS bucks on BD71837.

Merge tag 'driver-core-5.10-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull driver core and documentation fixes from Greg KH:
"Here is one tiny debugfs change to fix up an API where the last user
was successfully fixed up in 5.10-rc1 (so it couldn't be merged
earlier), and a much larger Documentation/ABI/ update to the files so
they can be automatically parsed by our tools.

The Documentation/ABI/ updates are just formatting issues, small ones
to bring the files into parsable format, and have been acked by
numerous subsystem maintainers and the documentation maintainer. I
figured it was good to get this into 5.10-rc2 to help wih the merge
issues that would arise if these were to stick in linux-next until
5.11-rc1.

The debugfs change has been in linux-next for a long time, and the
Documentation updates only for the last linux-next release"

Merge tag 'acpi-4.17-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 follow upstream revision
20180313 which includes fixes related to the so-called module-level
AML (mostly "if" type of statements outside of any methods) that
should improve the handling of systems that load alternative SSDTs
depending on the current configuration, for example, and event
handling fixes related to disabling and enabling GPEs on system
startup and on suspend/resume.

Moreover, the ACPICA license boilerplate is replaced with SPDX license
IDs which alone reduces the number of lines of ACPICA code in the
kernel quite a bit.

Also added is a new driver for the generic ACPI Time and Alarm Device
(TAD). At the moment it only handles the most basic capabilities of
the TAD, however.

In addition to that the ACPI battery driver is improved to handle
battery thresholds on ThinkPads, among other things, some bugs are
fixed, a new backlight quirk is added and some documentation is
updated.

Specifics:

- Update the in-kernel ACPICA code to upstream revision 20180313
including:
* Module-level AML code handling fixes and simplifications (Bob
Moore, Erik Schmauss).
* Fixes and cleanups related to messaging (Bob Moore).
* Events handling fixes related to disabling and enabling GPEs
(Erik Schmauss).
* Introduction of SPDX license identifiers and removal of license
boilerplate in multiple files (Erik Schmauss).
* Assorted fixes and cleanups (Bob Moore, Erik Schmauss, Hans de
Goede, Seunghun Han).

- Add new basic driver for the ACPI Time and Alarm Device (Rafael
Wysocki).

- Modify the ACPI battery driver to support battery thresholds on
Lenovo ThinkPads (Ognjen Galic, Colin Ian King).

- Avoid reporting battery capacity over 100 in the ACPI battery
driver in some cases (Laszlo Toth).

- Make the kernel recognize an OEM _OSI string from Dell to avoid
power management issues with NVidia GPUs in Dell platforms (Alex
Hung).

- Make the PCI IRQ management code handle missing _PRS cleanly (Alex
Hung).

- Fix uevent notifications related to device hotplut (Lee, Chun-Yi).

- Prevent the ACPI PAD driver from leaking memory (Lenny Szubowicz).

- Update the ACPI CPPC library code to include subspace IDs in the
kernel messages logged by it (George Cherian).

- Add backlight quirk for Samsung 670Z5E (Hans de Goede).

- Add the NFIT and HMAT tables to the list of ACPI tables that can be
overridden via initrd (Dan Williams).

- Fix and clean up some ACPI documentation and Kconfig help language
(Aishwarya Pant, Randy Dunlap).

- Replace license boilerplate with an SPDX license ID in the ACPI
PMIC operation region handling code (Rajmohan Mani)"
