Hi Linus,

The spin_lock fix below should be applied this RC cycle. The devm_
change is not RC cycle worthy, but it is a dependency for the spin_lock
fix.

To avoid rebasing our testing branch, we had two options:

1) Cherry-pick the fix and its dependency similar to the
   stable-kernel-rules

2) Cherry-pick just the fix and require a merge at the next merge window
   (and have to track this patch as git cherry won't report it as having
   been applied since the dependency requires conflict resolution and
   changes the content).

I chose option 1 thinking that was most consistent with your expressed
preferences and is compatible with our tooling and checks.

Thanks,

----------------------------------------------------------------
platform-drivers-x86 for v4.14-3

Use a spin_lock instead of mutex in atomic context. The devm_ fix is a
dependency.

intel_pmc_ipc:
 - Use spin_lock to protect GCR updates
 - Use devm_* calls in driver probe function
