Here is one fix, and 3 documentation updates for 5.18-rc7.
The fix is for the firmware loader which resolves a long-reported
problem where the credentials of the firmware loader could be set to a
userspace process without enough permissions to actually load the
firmware image. Many Android vendors have been reporting this for quite
some time.
The documentation updates are for the embargoed-hardware-issues.rst file
to add a new entry, change an existing one, and sort the list to make
changes easier in the future.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues.
