Linus Torvalds 42062b9882 ACPI fixes for v4.15-rc2
- Fix an ACPI EC driver regression (from the 4.9 cycle) causing
    the driver's power management operations to be omitted during
    system suspend/resume on platforms where the EC instance from the
    ECDT table is used instead of the one from the DSDT (Lv Zheng).
 
  - Prevent modalias from being exposed to user space for ACPI device
    objects with _STA returning 0 (not present and not functional) to
    prevent driver modules from being loaded automatically for
    hardware that is not actually present on some platforms (Hans
    de Goede).

Pull ACPI fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These fix a regression related to the ACPI EC handling during system
  suspend/resume on some platforms and prevent modalias from being
  exposed to user space for ACPI device object with "not functional and
  not present" status.

  Specifics:

   - Fix an ACPI EC driver regression (from the 4.9 cycle) causing the
     driver's power management operations to be omitted during system
     suspend/resume on platforms where the EC instance from the ECDT
     table is used instead of the one from the DSDT (Lv Zheng).

   - Prevent modalias from being exposed to user space for ACPI device
     objects with _STA returning 0 (not present and not functional) to
     prevent driver modules from being loaded automatically for hardware
     that is not actually present on some platforms (Hans de Goede)"

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
