Linus Torvalds f538a82c07 ARM: SoC fixes (and a cross-arch dt-include fix)
We had a small batch of fixes before -rc1, but here is a larger one. It
 contains a backmerge of 4.12-rc1 since some of the downstream branches we
 merge had that as base; at the same time we already had merged contents
 before -rc1 and rebase wasn't the right solution.
 
 A mix of random smaller fixes and a few things worth pointing out:
 
  - We've started telling people to avoid cross-tree shared branches if all
    they're doing is picking up one or two DT-used constants from a
    shared include file, and instead to use the numeric values on first
    submission. Follow-up moving over to symbolic names are sent in right
    after -rc1, i.e. here. It's only a few minor patches of this type.
 
  - Linus Walleij and others are resurrecting the 'Gemini' platform, and
    wanted a cut-down platform-specific defconfig for it. So I picked that
    up for them.
 
  - Rob Herring ran 'savedefconfig' on arm64, it's a bit churny but it helps
    people to prepare patches since it's a pain when defconfig and current
    savedefconfig contents differs too much.
 
  - Devicetree additions for some pinctrl drivers for Armada that were
    merged this window. I'd have preferred to see those earlier but it's not
    a huge deail.
 
 The biggest change worth pointing out though since it's touching other
 parts of the tree: We added prefixes to be used when cross-including
 DT contents between arm64 and arm, allowing someone to #include
 <arm/foo.dtsi> from arm64, and likewise. As part of that, we needed
 arm/foo.dtsi to work on arm as well. The way I suggested this to Heiko
 resulted in a recursive symlink.
 
 Instead, I've now moved it out of arch/*/boot/dts/include, into a shared
 location under scripts/dtc. While I was at it, I consolidated so all
 architectures now behave the same way in this manner.
 
 Rob Herring (DT maintainer) has acked it. I cc:d most other arch
 maintainers but nobody seems to care much; it doesn't really affect them
 since functionality is unchanged for them by default.

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.
