Pull driver core updates from Greg KH: "Here is the "big" set of driver core patches for 4.17-rc1. There's really not much here, just a bunch of firmware code refactoring from Luis as he attempts to wrangle that codebase into something that is managable, along with a bunch of userspace tests for it. Other than that, a handful of small bugfixes and reverts of things that didn't work out. Full details are in the shortlog, it's not all that much. All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues" * tag 'driver-core-4.17-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (30 commits) drivers: base: remove check for callback in coredump_store() mt7601u: use firmware_request_cache() to address cache on reboot firmware: add firmware_request_cache() to help with cache on reboot firmware: fix typo on pr_info_once() when ignore_sysfs_fallback is used firmware: explicitly include vmalloc.h firmware: ensure the firmware cache is not used on incompatible calls test_firmware: modify custom fallback tests to use unique files firmware: add helper to check to see if fw cache is setup firmware: fix checking for return values for fw_add_devm_name() rename: _request_firmware_load() fw_load_sysfs_fallback() test_firmware: test three firmware kernel configs using a proc knob test_firmware: expand on library with shared helpers firmware: enable to force disable the fallback mechanism at run time firmware: enable run time change of forcing fallback loader firmware: move firmware loader into its own directory firmware: split firmware fallback functionality into its own file firmware: move loading timeout under struct firmware_fallback_config firmware: use helpers for setting up a temporary cache timeout firmware: simplify CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK further drivers: base: add description for .coredump() callback ...
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
