Merge tag 'pm-4.13-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm
Pull power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki: "These fix two cpufreq issues, one introduced recently and one related to recent changes, fix cpufreq documentation, fix up recently added code in the Thunderbolt driver and update runtime PM framework documentation. Specifics: - Fix the handling of the scaling_cur_freq cpufreq policy attribute on x86 systems with the MPERF/APERF registers present to make it behave more as expected after recent changes (Rafael Wysocki). - Drop a leftover callback from the intel_pstate driver which also prevents the cpuinfo_cur_freq cpufreq policy attribute from being incorrectly exposed when intel_pstate works in the active mode (Rafael Wysocki). - Add a missing piece describing the cpuinfo_cur_freq policy attribute to cpufreq documentation (Rafael Wysocki). - Fix up a recently added part of the Thunderbolt driver to avoid aborting system suspends if its mailbox commands time out (Rafael Wysocki). - Update device runtime PM framework documentation to reflect the current behavior of the code (Johan Hovold)" * tag 'pm-4.13-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: thunderbolt: icm: Ignore mailbox errors in icm_suspend() cpufreq: x86: Make scaling_cur_freq behave more as expected PM / runtime: Document new pm_runtime_set_suspended() constraint cpufreq: docs: Add missing cpuinfo_cur_freq description cpufreq: intel_pstate: Drop ->get from intel_pstate structure
