David S. Miller 6ffe0acc93 wireless-drivers-next patches for 5.2
Most likely the last patchset of new feature for 5.2, and this time we
 have quite a lot of new features. Most obvious being rtw88 from
 Realtek which supports RTL8822BE and RTL8822CE 802.11ac devices. We
 have also new hardware support for existing drivers and improvements.
 
 There's one conflict in iwlwifi, my example conflict resolution below.
 
 Major changes:
 
 iwlwifi
 
 * bump the 20000-series FW API version
 
 * work on new hardware continues
 
 * RTT confidence indication support for Fine Timing Measurement (FTM)
 
 * an improvement in HE (802.11ax) rate-scaling
 
 * add command version parsing from the fimware TLVs
 
 * add support for a new WoWLAN patterns firmware API
 
 rsi
 
 * add support for rs9116
 
 mwifiex
 
 * add support for SD8987
 
 brcmfmac
 
 * add quirk for ACEPC T8 and T11 mini PCs
 
 rt2x00
 
 * add RT3883 support
 
 qtnfmac
 
 * fix debugfs interface to support multiple cards
 
 rtw88
 
 * new driver
 
 mt76
 
 * share more code across drivers
 
 * add support for MT7615 chipset
 
 * rework DMA API
 
 * tx/rx performance optimizations
 
 * use NAPI for tx cleanup on mt76x02
 
 * AP mode support for USB devices
 
 * USB stability fixes
 
 * tx power handling fixes for 76x2
 
 * endian fixes
 
 Conflicts:
 
 There's a trivial conflict in
 drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/fw/file.h, just leave
 IWL_UCODE_TLV_FW_FSEQ_VERSION to the file. 'git diff' output should be
 just empty:

README

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.

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.
