Linus Torvalds 0ad5b053d4 Char/Misc driver patches for 5.7-rc1
Here is the big set of char/misc/other driver patches for 5.7-rc1.
 
 Lots of things in here, and it's later than expected due to some reverts
 to resolve some reported issues.  All is now clean with no reported
 problems in linux-next.
 
 Included in here is:
 	- interconnect updates
 	- mei driver updates
 	- uio updates
 	- nvmem driver updates
 	- soundwire updates
 	- binderfs updates
 	- coresight updates
 	- habanalabs updates
 	- mhi new bus type and core
 	- extcon driver updates
 	- some Kconfig cleanups
 	- other small misc driver cleanups and updates
 
 As mentioned, all have been in linux-next for a while, and with the last
 two reverts, all is calm and good.

.. The Linux Kernel documentation master file, created by

You can adapt this file completely to your liking, but it should at least
contain the root `toctree` directive.

The Linux Kernel documentation
==============================
This is the top level of the kernel's documentation tree. Kernel
documentation, like the kernel itself, is very much a work in progress;
that is especially true as we work to integrate our many scattered
documents into a coherent whole. Please note that improvements to the
documentation are welcome; join the linux-doc list at vger.kernel.org if
you want to help out.
Licensing documentation
-----------------------
The following describes the license of the Linux kernel source code
(GPLv2), how to properly mark the license of individual files in the source
tree, as well as links to the full license text.
* :ref:`kernel_licensing`
User-oriented documentation
---------------------------
The following manuals are written for *users* of the kernel — those who are
trying to get it to work optimally on a given system.
.. toctree::

admin-guide/index
kbuild/index
Firmware-related documentation
------------------------------
The following holds information on the kernel's expectations regarding the
platform firmwares.

Application-developer documentation
-----------------------------------
The user-space API manual gathers together documents describing aspects of
the kernel interface as seen by application developers.

Introduction to kernel development
----------------------------------
These manuals contain overall information about how to develop the kernel.
The kernel community is quite large, with thousands of developers
contributing over the course of a year. As with any large community,
knowing how things are done will make the process of getting your changes
merged much easier.

Kernel API documentation
------------------------
These books get into the details of how specific kernel subsystems work
from the point of view of a kernel developer. Much of the information here
is taken directly from the kernel source, with supplemental material added
as needed (or at least as we managed to add it — probably *not* all that is
needed).
