17b121ad0c Documentation: ACPI: Align the SSDT overlays file with the code
This updates the following:

1) The ASL code to follow latest ACPI requirements, i.e.
   - static buffer to be defined outside of the method
   - The _ADR and _HID shouldn't be together for the same device

2) EFI section relies on the additional kernel configuration option,
   i.e. CONFIG_EFI_CUSTOM_SSDT_OVERLAYS

3) Refer to ACPI machine language as AML (capitalized)

4) Miscellaneous amendments

93431e0607 Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones: documentation
Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
  For each line:
    If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
      For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
        If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
        return 200 OK and serve the same content:
          Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

dd9a41bc61 docs: acpi: fix old http link and improve document format
The website:

    http://wiki.minnowboard.org

doesn't exist anymore. The same pages are moved to:

    https://www.elinux.org/Minnowboard

Other improvements concern the introduction of some rst
semantic markup in the document.

d19e470b66 ACPI: fan: Expose fan performance state information
When _FPS indicates variable speed fan support, the thermal cooling
device for fan shows max performance state count as "max_state"
(greater than or equal to 1).

But the thermal cooling device doesn't expose the properties of each
performance state. This is not enough for smart fan control user
space software, which also considers speed, power and noise level.

This change exposes the properties of the fan performance states
in the sysfs directory of the ACPI device representing the fan,
that is

/sys/bus/acpi/devices/devices/INT3404:00

or

/sys/bus/platform/devices/PNP0C0B:00.

For example:

$ ls /sys/bus/acpi/devices/INT3404\:00
description  path           state0   state11  state4  state7  status
hid          physical_node  state1   state2   state5  state8  subsystem
modalias     power          state10  state3   state6  state9  uevent
uid          wakeup

where each state* attribute lists the properties of a fan performance
state in the following format:

control_percent:trip_point:speed_rpm:noise_level_mdb:power_mw

$ cat /sys/bus/acpi/devices/INT3404\:00/state10
95:0:11600:47500:4500

as documented in

Documentation/admin-guide/acpi/fan_performance_states.rst

While at it, return the correct error code from acpi_fan_probe()
when acpi_fan_get_fps() or acpi_fan_get_fif() fails.
