Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These update the ACPICA code in the kernel to follow upstream revision
  20180313 which includes fixes related to the so-called module-level
  AML (mostly "if" type of statements outside of any methods) that
  should improve the handling of systems that load alternative SSDTs
  depending on the current configuration, for example, and event
  handling fixes related to disabling and enabling GPEs on system
  startup and on suspend/resume.

  Moreover, the ACPICA license boilerplate is replaced with SPDX license
  IDs which alone reduces the number of lines of ACPICA code in the
  kernel quite a bit.

  Also added is a new driver for the generic ACPI Time and Alarm Device
  (TAD). At the moment it only handles the most basic capabilities of
  the TAD, however.

  In addition to that the ACPI battery driver is improved to handle
  battery thresholds on ThinkPads, among other things, some bugs are
  fixed, a new backlight quirk is added and some documentation is
  updated.

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.
