Linus Torvalds 6e9f879684 ACPI updates for 5.5-rc1
- Update the ACPICA code in the kernel to upstream revision 20191018
    including:
 
    * Fixes for Clang warnings (Bob Moore).
 
    * Fix for possible overflow in get_tick_count() (Bob Moore).
 
    * Introduction of acpi_unload_table() (Bob Moore).
 
    * Debugger and utilities updates (Erik Schmauss).
 
    * Fix for unloading tables loaded via configfs (Nikolaus Voss).
 
  - Add support for EFI specific purpose memory to optionally allow
    either application-exclusive or core-kernel-mm managed access to
    differentiated memory (Dan Williams).
 
  - Fix and clean up processing of the HMAT table (Brice Goglin,
    Qian Cai, Tao Xu).
 
  - Update the ACPI EC driver to make it work on systems with
    hardware-reduced ACPI (Daniel Drake).
 
  - Always build in support for the Generic Event Device (GED) to
    allow one kernel binary to work both on systems with full
    hardware ACPI and hardware-reduced ACPI (Arjan van de Ven).
 
  - Fix the table unload mechanism to unregister platform devices
    created when the given table was loaded (Andy Shevchenko).
 
  - Rework the lid blacklist handling in the button driver and add
    more lid quirks to it (Hans de Goede).
 
  - Improve ACPI-based device enumeration for some platforms based
    on Intel BayTrail SoCs (Hans de Goede).
 
  - Add an OpRegion driver for the Cherry Trail Crystal Cove PMIC
    and prevent handlers from being registered for unhandled PMIC
    OpRegions (Hans de Goede).
 
  - Unify ACPI _HID/_UID matching (Andy Shevchenko).
 
  - Clean up documentation and comments (Cao jin, James Pack, Kacper
    Piwiński).
