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.

Pull fbdev updates from Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz:
"No major changes to the subsystem itself, mainly fb drivers fixes &
cleanups (atyfb & udlfb updates stand out from the rest) + removal of
no longer needed old clps711xfb driver.
Details:
- update atyfb driver - improvements for ATI Mach64 chips: detect the
dot clock divider correctly on Sparc, fix display corruptions (due
to endianness issues and improper reading of accelerator
registers), optimize scrolling performance and also fix debugging
printks (Mikulas Patocka)
- rewrite USB unplug handling in udlfb driver using framebuffer
subsystem reference counting (Mikulas Patocka)
- fix support for native-mode display-timings in atmel_lcdfb driver
(Sam Ravnborg)
- fix information leak & add missing access_ok() checks in sbuslib
(Dan Carpenter)
- allow using GPIO expanders that can sleep in ssd1307fb driver
(Michal Vokáč)
- convert omapfb driver to use GPIO descriptors instead of GPIO
numbers for Amstrad Delta board (Janusz Krzysztofik)
- fix broken Kconfig menu dependencies (Randy Dunlap)
- convert fbdev subsystem to use %pOFn instead of device_node.name
(Rob Herring)
- remove the dead old CLPS711x LCD support driver (the new CLPS711x
LCD support driver is still available)
- misc fixes (Jia-Ju Bai, Gustavo A. R. Silva)
- misc cleanups (Mehdi Bounya, Nathan Chancellor, YueHaibing)"
