Linus Torvalds 3bad80dab9 Char/Misc and other driver changes for 5.17-rc1
Here is the large set of char, misc, and other "small" driver subsystem
 changes for 5.17-rc1.
 
 Lots of different things are in here for char/misc drivers such as:
 	- habanalabs driver updates
 	- mei driver updates
 	- lkdtm driver updates
 	- vmw_vmci driver updates
 	- android binder driver updates
 	- other small char/misc driver updates
 
 Also smaller driver subsystems have also been updated, including:
 	- fpga subsystem updates
 	- iio subsystem updates
 	- soundwire subsystem updates
 	- extcon subsystem updates
 	- gnss subsystem updates
 	- phy subsystem updates
 	- coresight subsystem updates
 	- firmware subsystem updates
 	- comedi subsystem updates
 	- mhi subsystem updates
 	- speakup subsystem updates
 	- rapidio subsystem updates
 	- spmi subsystem updates
 	- virtual driver updates
 	- counter subsystem updates
 
 Too many individual changes to summarize, the shortlog contains the full
 details.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
 issues.

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.
