Subject: [GIT PULL 0/3] EFI urgent fixes

Folks, here are a few small fixes. One from Josh to stop the ACPI BGRT
driver wrecking the splash screen even though the "quiet" kernel
parameter is passed, another to fix sysfb_efi on a ThinkPad E550, and
one to MAINTAINERS so that get_maintainer.pl finds the EFI entry for
all subdirectores of drivers/firmware/efi/.
 
The following changes since commit 04974df8049fc4240d22759a91e035082ccd18b4:

  Linux 4.6-rc6 (2016-05-01 15:52:31 -0700)

  x86/efi-bgrt: Switch all pr_err() to pr_notice() for invalid BGRT (2016-05-03 20:02:25 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
 * Fix sysfb_efi to detect BARs starting at 0x0, which otherwise makes
   video=efifb not work on some the ThinkPad E550 - Wang YanQing

 * Update the MAINTAINERS entry for EFI by removing the trailing
   asterisk characters which was intended to denote "all
   subdirectories" but which breaks get_maintainer.pl - Matt Fleming

 * Convert ACPI BGRT driver messages from pr_err() to pr_notice() to
   avoid spewing messages all over the display and making it
   impossible for users to have a pretty boot experience - Josh Boyer
