Pull ACPI fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These fix a device enumeration problem related to _ADR matching and an
  IOMMU initialization issue related to the DMAR table missing, remove
  an excessive function call from the core ACPI code, update an error
  message in the ACPI WDAT watchdog driver and add a way to work around
  problems with unhandled GPE notifications.

  Specifics:

   - Fix a device enumeration issue leading to incorrect associations
     between ACPI device objects and platform device objects
     representing physical devices if the given device object has both
     _ADR and _HID (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Avoid passing NULL to acpi_put_table() during IOMMU initialization
     which triggers a (rightful) warning from ACPICA (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Drop an excessive call to acpi_dma_deconfigure() from the core code
     that binds ACPI device objects to device objects representing
     physical devices (Lorenzo Pieralisi).

   - Update an error message in the ACPI WDAT watchdog driver to make it
     provide more useful information (Mika Westerberg).

   - Add a mechanism to work around issues with unhandled GPE
     notifications that occur during system initialization and cannot be
     prevented by means of sysfs (Lv Zheng)"

  ACPI / DMAR: Avoid passing NULL to acpi_put_table()
  ACPI / scan: Prefer devices without _HID/_CID for _ADR matching
  ACPI / watchdog: Print out error number when device creation fails
