Subject: [GIT PULL] ACPI fixes for v4.12-rc4

Hi Linus,

Please pull from the tag

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm.git \
 acpi-4.12-rc4

with top-most commit 60319130254084b337e02439d3b4ec301b6328bb

 Merge branches 'acpi-button', 'acpica' and 'acpi-sysfs'

on top of commit 5ed02dbb497422bf225783f46e6eadd237d23d6b

 Linux 4.12-rc3

to receive ACPI fixes for v4.12-rc4.

These revert one more problematic commit related to the ACPI-based
handling of laptop lids and make some unuseful error messages coming
from ACPICA go away.

Specifics:

 - Revert one more commit related to the ACPI-based handling of
   laptop lids that changed the default behavior on laptops that
   booted with closed lids and introduced a regression there
   (Benjamin Tissoires).

 - Add a missing acpi_put_table() to the code implementing the
   /sys/firmware/acpi/tables interface to prevent a counter in
   the ACPICA core from overflowing (Dan Williams).

 - Drop error messages printed by ACPICA on acpi_get_table()
   reference counting mismatches as they need not indicate real
   errors at this point (Lv Zheng).

Thanks!
