Linus Torvalds 104c08ba8e ACPI fixes for v4.12-rc4
- 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).

Pull ACPI fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "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)"

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
