Merge tag 'pm+acpi-3.13-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm
Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
- Fix for a recent regression in the Tegra cpufreq driver causing
excess error messages to be printed from Stephen Warren
- ACPI-based device hotplug fix to prevent conflicting notify handlers
from being installed for PCI host bridge objects. From Toshi Kani
- ACPICA update to upstream version 20131115. This contains bug fixes
mostly (loop termination fix for the get AML length function, fixes
related to namespace node removal and debug output). From Bob Moore,
Tomasz Nowicki and Lv Zheng
- Removal of incorrect inclusions of internal ACPICA header files by
non-ACPICA code from Lv Zheng
- Fixes for the ACPI sysfs interface exposing tables to user space from
Daisuke Hatayama and Jeremy Compostella
- Assorted ACPI and cpufreq cleanups from Sachin Kamat and Al Stone
- cpupower tool fix and man page from Thomas Renninger
