Description of Lowest Perfomance in ACPI 6.1 specification states:
"Lowest Performance is the absolute lowest performance level of
the platform. Selecting a performance level lower than the lowest
nonlinear performance level may actually cause an efficiency penalty,
but should reduce the instantaneous power consumption of the processor.
In traditional terms, this represents the T-state range of performance
levels."
Set the default value of policy->min to Lowest Nonlinear Performance
to avoid any potential efficiency penalty.

Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"First off, the ACPICA code in the kernel is updated to upstream
revision 20160831 that brings in a few bug fixes and cleanups. In
particular, it is possible to mask GPEs now (and the sysfs interface
for GPE control is fixed on top of that), problems related to the
table loading mechanism are fixed and all code related to FADT version
2 (which has never been part of the ACPI specification) is dropped.
On the new features front, there is a new watchdog driver based on the
ACPI WDAT (ACPI Watchdog Action Table), needed on some platforms to
replace the iTCO watchdog that doesn't work there, and some UART
devices get new definitions of built-in properties (to be accessed via
the generic device properties API).
Also, included is a fix for an ACPI-related PCI resorces allocation
issue and a few problems in the EC driver and in the button and
battery drivers are fixed.
In addition to that, the ACPI CPPC library is updated to make batching
of requests sent over the PCC channel possible (which reduces the PCC
usage overhead substantially in some cases) and to support functional
fixed hardware (FFH) type of CPPC registers access (which will allow
CPPC to be used on x86 too in the future).
As usual, there are some assorted fixes and cleanups too.

Signed-off-by: Hoan Tran <hotran@apm.com>

When CPPC is being used by ACPI on arm64, user space tools such as
cpupower report CPU frequency values from sysfs that are incorrect.
What the driver was doing was reporting the values given by ACPI tables
in whatever scale was used to provide them. However, the ACPI spec
defines the CPPC values as unitless abstract numbers. Internal kernel
structures such as struct perf_cap, in contrast, expect these values
to be in KHz. When these struct values get reported via sysfs, the
user space tools also assume they are in KHz, causing them to report
incorrect values (for example, reporting a CPU frequency of 1MHz when
it should be 1.8GHz).
The downside is that this approach has some assumptions:
(1) It relies on SMBIOS3 being used, *and* that the Max Frequency
value for a processor is set to a non-zero value.
(2) It assumes that all processors run at the same speed, or that
the CPPC values have all been scaled to reflect relative speed.
This patch retrieves the largest CPU Max Frequency from a type 4 DMI
record that it can find. This may not be an issue, however, as a
sampling of DMI data on x86 and arm64 indicates there is often only
one such record regardless. Since CPPC is relatively new, it is
unclear if the ACPI ASL will always be written to reflect any sort
of relative performance of processors of differing speeds.
(3) It assumes that performance and frequency both scale linearly.
For arm64 servers, this may be sufficient, but it does rely on
firmware values being set correctly. Hence, other approaches will
be considered in the future.
This has been tested on three arm64 servers, with and without DMI, with
and without CPPC support.
