From: Rafael J. Wysocki

Hi All,

This is an update of

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-acpi/4505861.ejJDZkT8p0@rafael.j.wysocki/

which is posted mostly because the first two patches from the v1 have been
applied and next two ones have had to be rebased on top of a fix that went
into the mainline yesterday.

There is one new patch in this set (patch [1/8]), two patches have been
rebased and reordered with respect to each other (patches [2-3/8]), and
the changelog of the last patch has been updated. There are no substantial
changes relative to the v1 in the other patches.

This series

* Cleans up a couple of wonky things in the ACPI video bus driver (patches
[1-3/8])
* Updates several drivers to stop setting acpi_device_name() which is not
used anywhere later (patch [4/8])
* Adjusts notification APIs to be more consistent and in preparation for
the next change (patch [5-6/8])
* Updates several drivers to stop setting acpi_device_class(), which is not
used anywhere later, and one driver still using it (button) to clear it
on remove (patch [7/8])
* Consolidates the ACPI_AC_CLASS definitions (patch [8/8]).

Thanks!
