Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The majority of changes go into the cpufreq subsystem this time.

  To me, quite obviously, the biggest ticket item is the new "schedutil"
  governor.  Interestingly enough, it's the first new cpufreq governor
  since the beginning of the git era (except for some out-of-the-tree
  ones).

  There are two main differences between it and the existing governors.
  First, it uses the information provided by the scheduler directly for
  making its decisions, so it doesn't have to track anything by itself.
  Second, it can invoke drivers (supporting that feature) to adjust CPU
  performance right away without having to spawn work items to be
  executed in process context or similar.  Currently, the acpi-cpufreq
  driver is the only one supporting that mode of operation, but then it
  is used on a large number of systems.

  The "schedutil" governor as included here is very simple and mostly
  regarded as a foundation for future work on the integration of the
  scheduler with CPU power management (in fact, there is work in
  progress on top of it already).  Nevertheless it works and the
  preliminary results obtained with it are encouraging.

  There also is some consolidation of CPU frequency management for ARM
  platforms that can add their machine IDs the the new stub dt-platdev
  driver now and that will take care of creating the requisite platform
  device for cpufreq-dt, so it is not necessary to do that in platform
  code any more.  Several ARM platforms are switched over to using this
  generic mechanism.

  In addition to that, the intel_pstate driver is now going to respect
  CPU frequency limits set by the platform firmware (or a BMC) and
  provided via the ACPI _PPC object.

  The devfreq subsystem is getting a new "passive" governor for SoCs
  subsystems that will depend on somebody else to manage their voltage
  rails and its support for Samsung Exynos SoCs is consolidated.

  The rest is support for new hardware (Intel Broxton support in
  intel_idle for one example), bug fixes, optimizations and cleanups in
  a number of places.

  Specifics:

   - New cpufreq "schedutil" governor (making decisions based on CPU
     utilization information provided by the scheduler and capable of
     switching CPU frequencies right away if the underlying driver
     supports that) and support for fast frequency switching in the
     acpi-cpufreq driver (Rafael Wysocki)

     them to get rid of some platform-specific boilerplate code if they
