    clean up the ACPI APEI code (Colin Ian King, Tyler Baicar).
 
  - Make the IA64 ACPI NUMA code parse all SRAT entries (Ganapatrao
    Kulkarni).
 
  - Add a lid switch blacklist to the ACPI button driver and make it
    print extra debug messages on lid events (Hans de Goede).
 
  - Add quirks for Asus GL502VSK and UX305LA to the ACPI battery
    driver and clean it up somewhat (Bjørn Mork, Kai-Heng Feng).
 
  - Add device link for CHT SD card dependency on I2C to the ACPI
    LPSS (Intel SoCs) driver and make it avoid creating platform
    device objects for devices without MMIO resources (Adrian Hunter,
    Hans de Goede).
 
  - Fix the ACPI GPE mask kernel command line parameter handling
    (Prarit Bhargava).
 
  - Fix the handling of (incorrectly exposed) backlight interfaces
    without LCD (Hans de Goede).
