Arnd Bergmann b69bad75a8 This pull request contains Broadcom ARM-based SoC Kconfig/platform changes for
4.12, please pull the following:
 
 - Al enables ZONE_DMA for BRCMSTB platforms since a bunch of on-chip
   peripherals such as USB (OHCI and EHCI) and SDHCI cannot support physical
   addresses > 32-bit. This is only required when ARM_LPAE is enabled
 
 - Danesh enables ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL in order for the kernel to provide
   a pfn_valid() implementation despite BRCMSTB enabling the SPARSEMEM model by
   default.
 
 - Florian adds support for a new 28nm generation chip: 7260 by updating the
   runtime detection UART debuggin stub used for DEBUG_LL.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
