Minimal supplement to upstream Kernel Self Protection Project changes. Features already provided by SELinux + Yama and archs other than multiarch arm64 / x86_64 aren't in scope. Only tags have stable history. Shared IRC channel with KSPP: irc.libera.chat #linux-hardening

The Point of View mobii wintab p800w Bay Trail tablet comes with a Crystal Cove PMIC, yet uses the LPSS PWM for backlight control, rather then the Crystal Cove's PWM, so we need to call pwm_add_table() to add a pwm_backlight mapping for the LPSS pwm despite there being an INT33FD ACPI device present. On all Bay Trail devices the _HRV object of the INT33FD ACPI device will normally return 2, to indicate the Bay Trail variant of the CRC PMIC is present, except on this tablet where _HRV is 0xffff. I guess this is a hack to make the windows Crystal Cove PWM driver not bind. Out of the 44 DSTDs with an INT33FD device in there which I have (from different model devices) only the pov mobii wintab p800w uses 0xffff for the HRV. The byt_pwm_setup code calls acpi_dev_present to check for the presence of a INT33FD ACPI device which indicates that a CRC PMIC is present and if the INT33FD ACPI device is present then byt_pwm_setup will not add a pwm_backlight mapping for the LPSS pwm, so that the CRC PWM will get used instead. acpi_dev_present has a hrv parameter, this commit make us pass 2 instead of -1, so that things still match on normal tablets, but on this special case with its _HRV of 0xffff, the check will now fail so that the pwm_backlight mapping for the LPSS pwm gets added fixing backlight brightness control on this device.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
