Subject: [GIT PULL] EFI urgent fixes

Hi guys, please pull the following fixes, which trade the locking
WARN_ON()s in the efivars code for the more usual lockdep_*() functions
and an arm64 EFI change that allows the gamut of runtime services to be
invoked.

The following changes since commit 7d1311b93e58ed55f3a31cc8f94c4b8fe988a2b9:

  Linux 3.17-rc1 (2014-08-16 10:40:26 -0600)

  efi/arm64: Store Runtime Services revision (2014-08-22 08:45:41 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
 * WARN_ON(!spin_is_locked()) always triggers on non-SMP machines.
   Swap it for the more canonical lockdep_assert_held() which always
   does the right thing - Guenter Roeck

 * Assign the correct value to efi.runtime_version on arm64 so that all
   the runtime services can be invoked - Semen Protsenko

----------------------------------------------------------------
Guenter Roeck (1):
      firmware: Do not use WARN_ON(!spin_is_locked())

      efi/arm64: Store Runtime Services revision
