Subject: [GIT PULL] ACPI fixes for v4.9-rc7

Hi Linus,

Please pull from the tag

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm.git \
 acpi-4.9-rc7

with top-most commit 7e5c07af8693e72b23aefb70da88b31b30c35b22

 Merge branches 'acpi-sleep-fixes' and 'acpi-wdat-fixes'

on top of commit 9c763584b7c8911106bb77af7e648bef09af9d80

 Linux 4.9-rc6

to receive ACPI fixes for v4.9-rc7.

One of them reverts a recent ACPI commit that attempted to improve
reboot/power-off on some systems, but introduced problems elsewhere,
and the other one fixes kernel builds with the new WDAT watchdog
driver enabled in some configurations.

Specifics:

 - Revert the recent commit that caused the ACPI _PTS method to
   be executed in the power-off/reboot code path (as per the
   specification) in an attempt to improve things on some systems
   (apparently expecting _PTS to be executed in that code path),
   but broke power-off/reboot on at least one other machine (Rafael
   Wysocki).

 - Fix kernel builds with the new WDAT watchdog driver enabled in
   some configurations by explicitly selecting WATCHDOG_CORE when
   enabling the WDAT watchdog driver (Mika Westerberg).

Thanks!
