Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "Over a half of the changes here are cpufreq updates that include core
  modifications, fixes of the old-style governors, new hardware support
  in drivers, assorded driver fixes and cleanups, and the removal of one
  driver (AMD Elan SC4*).

  Apart from that, the intel_idle driver will now be able to avoid
  exposing redundant C-states if PC6 is disabled and there are new
  sysctl knobs for device suspend/resume watchdog timeouts, hibernation
  gets built-in LZ4 support for image compression and there is the usual
  collection of assorted fixes and cleanups.

  Specifics:
