Linus Torvalds b1dfbda863 The main load of changes is related to Uwe's work converting platform
remove callbacks to return void. Comes next (in number of changes) Kees'
 additional structures annotations to improve the sanitizers. The usual
 amount of cleanups apply.
 
 About the more substancial contribution, one main function of the
 partitions core could return an error which was not checked, this is now
 fixed. On the bindings side, fixed partitions can now have a compression
 property. Finally, an erroneous situation is now always avoided in the
 MAP RAM driver.
 
 * CFI
 
 A several years old byte swap has been fixed.
 
 * NAND
 
 The subsystem has, as usual, seen a bit of cleanup being done this
 cycle, typically return values of platform_get_irq() and
 devm_kasprintf(). There is also a better ECC check in the Arasan
 driver. This comes with smaller misc changes.
 
 In the SPI-NAND world there is now support for Foresee F35SQA002G,
 Winbond W25N and XTX XT26 chips.
 
 * SPI NOR
 
 For SPI NOR we cleaned the flash info entries in order to have
 them slimmer and self explanatory. In order to make the entries
 as slim as possible, we introduced sane default values so that
 the actual flash entries don't need to specify them. We now use
 a flexible macro to specify the flash ID instead of the previous
 INFOx() macros that had hardcoded ID lengths.
 
 Instead of:
 -       { "w25q512nwm", INFO(0xef8020, 0, 64 * 1024, 0)
 -               OTP_INFO(256, 3, 0x1000, 0x1000) },
 
 We now use:
 +               .id = SNOR_ID(0xef, 0x80, 0x20),
 +               .name = "w25q512nwm",
 +               .otp = SNOR_OTP(256, 3, 0x1000, 0x1000),
 
 We also removed some flash entries: the very old Catalyst
 SPI EEPROMs that were introduced once with the SPI-NOR subsystem,
 and a Fujitsu MRAM. Both should use the at25 EEPROM driver.
 The latter even has device tree bindings for the at25 driver.
 
 We made sure that the conversion didn't introduce any unwanted
 changes by comparing the .rodata segment before and after the
 conversion. The patches landed in linux-next immediately after
 v6.6-rc2, we haven't seen any regressions yet.
 
 Apart of the autumn cleaning we introduced a new flash entry,
 at25ff321a, and added block protection support for mt25qu512a.

README

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.
