Merge tag 'powerpc-5.7-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux
Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: "Slightly late as I had to rebase mid-week to insert a bug fix: - A large series from Nick for 64-bit to further rework our exception vectors, and rewrite portions of the syscall entry/exit and interrupt return in C. The result is much easier to follow code that is also faster in general. - Cleanup of our ptrace code to split various parts out that had become badly intertwined with #ifdefs over the years. - Changes to our NUMA setup under the PowerVM hypervisor which should hopefully avoid non-sensical topologies which can lead to warnings from the workqueue code and other problems. - MAINTAINERS updates to remove some of our old orphan entries and update the status of others. - Quite a few other small changes and fixes all over the map.

+Description: Sensor groups directory for POWER9 powernv servers
+
+ Each folder in this directory contains a sensor group
+ which are classified based on type of the sensor
+ like power, temperature, frequency, current, etc. They
+ can also indicate the group of sensors belonging to
+ different owners like CSM, Profiler, Job-Scheduler

+Description: Sysfs file to clear the min-max of all the sensors
+ belonging to the group.
+
+ Writing 1 to this file will clear the minimum and
+ maximum values of all the sensors in the group.
+ In POWER9, the min-max of a sensor is the historical minimum
+ and maximum value of the sensor cached by OCC.
