Merge branch 'release' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux
Pull ACPI & Thermal updates from Len Brown:
"The generic Linux thermal layer is gaining some new capabilities
(generic cooling via cpufreq) and some new customers (ARM).
Also, an ACPI EC bug fix plus a regression fix."
* 'release' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux: (30 commits)
tools/power/acpi/acpidump: remove duplicated include from acpidump.c
ACPI idle, CPU hotplug: Fix NULL pointer dereference during hotplug
cpuidle / ACPI: fix potential NULL pointer dereference
ACPI: EC: Add a quirk for CLEVO M720T/M730T laptop
ACPI: EC: Make the GPE storm threshold a module parameter
thermal: Exynos: Fix NULL pointer dereference in exynos_unregister_thermal()
