Subject: [GIT PULL] Generic device properties framework updates for v4.12-rc1

Hi Linus,

Please pull from the tag

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm.git \
 devprop-4.12-rc1

with top-most commit e48174779440c79ff5dd75f0e6b169d4e184262d

 device property: Read strings using string array reading functions

on top of commit c02ed2e75ef4c74e41e421acb4ef1494671585e8

 Linux 4.11-rc4

to receive generic device properties framework updates for v4.12-rc1.

These add support for the ports and endpoints concepts, based on the
existing DT support for them, to the generic device properties
framework and update the ACPI _DSD properties code to recognize
ports and endpoints accordingly.

Specifics:

 - Extend the ACPI _DSD properties code and the generic device
   properties framework to support the concept of remote endponts
   (Mika Westerberg, Sakari Ailus).

 - Document the support for ports and endpoints in _DSD properties
   and extend the generic device properties framework to make it
   more suitable for the handling of ports and endpoints (Sakari
   Ailus).

Thanks!
