Linus Torvalds c1aac62f36 A slightly quieter cycle for documentation this time around.
Three more DocBook template files have been converted to RST; only 21 to
 go.  There are various build improvements and the usual array of
 documentation improvements and fixes.

Linus Torvalds b2064617c7 driver core patches for 4.11-rc1
Here is the "small" driver core patches for 4.11-rc1.
 
 Not much here, some firmware documentation and self-test updates, a
 debugfs code formatting issue, and a new feature for call_usermodehelper
 to make it more robust on systems that want to lock it down in a more
 secure way.
 
 All of these have been linux-next for a while now with no reported
 issues.

Rafael J. Wysocki 2728b2d2e5 PM / core / docs: Convert sleep states API document to reST
Move the document describing the system sleep state transitions API
for devices to Documentation/driver-api/pm/, convert it to reST and
update it to use current terminology.  Also remove the remaining
reference to the old version of it from pm.h.

The new document still contains references to some documents in the
.txt format that will be converted later.

Jonathan Corbet 028f25332c docs: Convert the regulator docbook to RST
A fairly straightforward conversion to RST; the document is then added to
the driver-api manual.

Of course, this document has seen no substantive changes since 2008, so
chances are it needs work in other areas as well.

Jonathan Corbet 8a8a602fdb docs: Convert the deviceio template to RST
Convert deviceiobook.tmpl to RST and incorporate it into the driver API
manual.

Like the rest of our documentation, this one could use some work.  There's
no mention of ioremap() and friends, no mention of io_read*() and friends.
But we have nice documentation for all those folks writing new drivers that
do port I/O :).

The :c:func: notation has been left off of all the read*/write* functions.
There's no kerneldoc comments for them anyway, so those links will never be
live, and writing a bunch of repetitive "read a byte from I/O memory"
comments lacks appeal.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 6634fbb6b6 driver-api: create an edac.rst file with EDAC documentation
Currently, there's no device driver documentation for the EDAC
subsystem at the driver-api book. Fill in the blanks for the
structures and functions that misses documentation, uniform
the word on the existing ones, and add a new edac.rst file at
driver-api, in order to document the EDAC subsystem.

Daniel Vetter 868c97a846 dma-buf: Extract dma-buf.rst
Just prep work to polish and consolidate all the dma-buf related
documenation.

Unfortunately I didn't discover a way to both integrate this new file
into the overall toc while keeping it at the current place. Work
around that by moving it into the overall driver-api/index.rst.
