Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "From the new features standpoint, the most significant change here is
  the addition of CSI-2 and MIPI DisCo for Imaging support to the ACPI
  device enumeration code that will allow MIPI cameras to be enumerated
  through the platform firmware on systems using ACPI.

  Also significant is the switch-over to threaded interrupt handlers for
  the ACPI SCI and the dedicated EC interrupt (on systems where the
  former is not used) which essentially allows all ACPI code to run with
  local interrupts enabled. That should improve responsiveness
  significantly on systems where multiple GPEs are enabled and the
  handling of one SCI involves many I/O address space accesses which
  previously had to be carried out in one go with disabled interrupts on
  the local CPU.

  Apart from the above, the ACPI thermal zone driver will use the
  Thermal fast Sampling Period (_TFP) object if available, which should
  allow temperature changes to be followed more accurately on some
  systems, the ACPI Notify () handlers can run on all CPUs (not just on
  CPU0), which should generally speed up the processing of events
  signaled through the ACPI SCI, and the ACPI power button driver will
  trigger wakeup key events via the input subsystem (on systems where it
  is a system wakeup device)

  In addition to that, there are the usual bunch of fixes and cleanups.

  Specifics:

   - Add CSI-2 and DisCo for Imaging support to the ACPI device
     enumeration code (Sakari Ailus, Rafael J. Wysocki)

   - Adjust the cpufreq thermal reduction algorithm in the ACPI

README

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
