Merge updates of drivers handling devices defined in the ACPI
specification and other generic devices with ACPI interfaces for
6.20-rc1/7.0-rc1:
- Add a piece of documentation explaining why binding drivers directly
to ACPI device objects is not a good idea in general and why it is
desirable to convert drivers doing so into proper platform drivers
that use struct platform_driver for device binding (Rafael Wysocki)
- Convert multiple "core ACPI" drivers, including the NFIT ACPI device
driver, the generic ACPI button drivers, the generic ACPI thermal
zone driver, the ACPI hardware event device (HED) driver, the ACPI EC
driver, the ACPI SMBUS HC driver, the ACPI Smart Battery Subsystem
(SBS) driver, and the ACPI backlight (video) driver to proper platform
drivers that use struct platform_driver for device binding (Rafael
Wysocki)
- Use acpi_get_local_u64_address() in the ACPI backlight (video) driver
to evaluate _ADR instead of evaluating that object directly (Andy
Shevchenko)
