Merge tag 'powerpc-5.9-4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux
Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman: - Revert our removal of PROT_SAO, at least one user expressed an interest in using it on Power9. Instead don't allow it to be used in guests unless enabled explicitly at compile time. - A fix for a crash introduced by a recent change to FP handling. - Revert a change to our idle code that left Power10 with no idle support. - One minor fix for the new scv system call path to set PPR. - Fix a crash in our "generic" PMU if branch stack events were enabled. - A fix for the IMC PMU, to correctly identify host kernel samples. - The ADB_PMU powermac code was found to be incompatible with VMAP_STACK, so make them incompatible in Kconfig until the code can be fixed. - A build fix in drivers/video/fbdev/controlfb.c, and a documentation fix.
