Power Management Update In Linux 4.3 Adds New Support, But Mostly Unexciting

Rafael Wysocki mailed in the power management and ACPI updates this evening for the Linux 4.3 kernel merge window.

The ACPI/PM updates this time around aren't particularly exciting, but there is some new hardware support and other feature work. There are CPUfreq clean-ups, a new CPUfreq driver for the Mediatek MT8173 hardware, ACPICA fixes, ACPI processor driver updates preparing for CPPC support, Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework changes, Intel P-State adds Skylake-S support, the Intel_Idle driver adds Skylake client support, system sleep support updates, power-capping RAPL updates for Skylake-H/S and Broadwell-H, and an assortment of other work.

There's a fair amount in here for Skylake and Broadwell Intel hardware so it's just another thing I look forward to testing. The pull request in full can be viewed via the kernel mailing list.
