Hi Linus,

Please pull from the tag

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm.git \
 acpi-5.11-rc8

with top-most commit fe0af09074bfeb46a35357e67635eefe33cdfc49

 Revert "ACPICA: Interpreter: fix memory leak by using existing buffer"

on top of commit 92bf22614b21a2706f4993b278017e437f7785b3

 Linux 5.11-rc7

to receive an ACPI fix for 5.11-rc8.

This reverts a problematic ACPICA commit that changed the code to
attempt to update memory regions which may be read-only on some
systems (Ard Biesheuvel).

Thanks!
