Subject: [GIT PULL] ACPI fixes for v4.10-rc6

Hi Linus,

Please pull from the tag

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm.git \
 acpi-4.10-rc6

with top-most commit 0389227dde3abae442521948caf5c173e696cdca

 Merge branches 'acpica' and 'acpi-video'

on top of commit 7a308bb3016f57e5be11a677d15b821536419d36

 Linux 4.10-rc5

to receive ACPI fixes for v4.10-rc6.

These fix two regressions introduced recently, one by reverting the
problematic commit and one by fixing up locking in the ACPICA core.

Specifics:

 - Revert a recent change that added an ACPI video blacklist entry
   for HP Pavilion dv6 as it turned to introduce backlight handling
   regressions on some systems (Hans de Goede).

 - Fix locking in the ACPICA core to avoid deadlocks related to table
   loading that were exposed by a recent change in that area (Lv Zheng).

Thanks!
