Merge tag 'pm-for-3.4-part-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm

Pull more power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 - Patch series that hopefully fixes races between the freezer and
   request_firmware() and request_firmware_nowait() for good, with two
   cleanups from Stephen Boyd on top.
 - Runtime PM fix from Alan Stern preventing tasks from getting stuck
   indefinitely in the runtime PM wait queue.
 - Device PM QoS update from MyungJoo Ham introducing a new variant of
   pm_qos_update_request() allowing the callers to specify a timeout.

* tag 'pm-for-3.4-part-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm:
  PM / QoS: add pm_qos_update_request_timeout() API
  firmware_class: Move request_firmware_nowait() to workqueues
  firmware_class: Reorganize fw_create_instance()
  PM / Sleep: Mitigate race between the freezer and request_firmware()
  PM / Sleep: Move disabling of usermode helpers to the freezer
  PM / Hibernate: Disable usermode helpers right before freezing tasks
  firmware_class: Do not warn that system is not ready from async loads
  firmware_class: Split _request_firmware() into three functions, v2
  firmware_class: Rework usermodehelper check
  PM / Runtime: don't forget to wake up waitqueue on failure
