  • Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
    "A fair amount of stuff this time around, dominated by yet another
    massive set from Mauro toward the completion of the RST conversion. I
    *really* hope we are getting close to the end of this. Meanwhile,
    those patches reach pretty far afield to update document references
    around the tree; there should be no actual code changes there. There
    will be, alas, more of the usual trivial merge conflicts.

    Beyond that we have more translations, improvements to the sphinx
    scripting, a number of additions to the sysctl documentation, and lots
    of fixes"

  • Although we require that the loaded kernel Image has been cleaned to the
    PoC, we neglect to spell out the state of the I-cache. Although this
    should be reasonably obvious, it doesn't hurt to be explicit.

    Require that the I-cache doesn't hold any stale entries for the kernel
    Image at boot.

  • Get rid of those warnings:

    Documentation/arm64/booting.rst:253: WARNING: Unexpected indentation.
    Documentation/arm64/booting.rst:259: WARNING: Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.

    By adding an extra blank lines where needed.

    While here, use list markups on some places, as otherwise Sphinx
    will consider the next lines as continuation of the privious ones.

  • Pull Devicetree updates from Rob Herring:

    - DT binding schema examples are now validated against the schemas.
    Various examples are fixed due to that.

    - Sync dtc with upstream version v1.5.0-30-g702c1b6c0e73

    - Initial schemas for networking bindings. This includes ethernet, phy
    and mdio common bindings with several Allwinner and stmmac converted
    to the schema.

    - Conversion of more Arm top-level SoC/board bindings to DT schema

    - Conversion of PSCI binding to DT schema

    - Rework Arm CPU schema to coexist with other CPU schemas

    - Add a bunch of missing vendor prefixes and new ones for SoChip,
    Sipeed, Kontron, B&R Industrial Automation GmbH, and Espressif

    - Add Mediatek UART RX wakeup support to binding

    - Add reset to ST UART binding

    - Remove some Linuxisms from the endianness common-properties.txt
    binding

    - Make the flattened DT read-only after init

    - Ignore disabled reserved memory nodes

    - Clean-up some dead code in FDT functions

  • The documentation is in a format that is very close to ReST format.

    The conversion is actually:
    - add blank lines in order to identify paragraphs;
    - fixing tables markups;
    - adding some lists markups;
    - marking literal blocks;
    - adjust some title markups.

    At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
    the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
