Merge tag 'acpi-4.12-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kerne…

…l/git/rafael/linux-pm

Pull ACPI fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These revert an ACPICA commit from the 4.11 cycle that causes problems
  to happen on some systems and add a protection against possible kernel
  crashes due to table reference counter imbalance.

  Specifics:

   - Revert a 4.11 ACPICA change that made assumptions which are not
     satisfied on some systems and caused the enumeration of resources
     to fail on them (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Add a mechanism to prevent tables from being unmapped prematurely
     due to reference counter overflows (Lv Zheng)"
