Subject: [GIT PULL] x86/boot changes for v5.5

Linus,

Please pull the latest x86-boot-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git x86-boot-for-linus

   # HEAD: b3c72fc9a78e74161f9d05ef7191706060628f8c x86/boot: Introduce setup_indirect

The main changes were:

 - Extend the boot protocol to allow future extensions without hitting the 
   setup_header size limit.

 - Add quirk to devicetree systems to disable the RTC unless it's listed 
   as a supported device.

 - Fix ld.lld linker pedantry.
 
 Thanks,

	Ingo
