Add overview documentation in Documentation/ABI/stable/firewire-cdev.
Improve the inline reference documentation in firewire-cdev.h:
- Add /* available since kernel... */ comments to event numbers
consistent with the comments on ioctl numbers.- Shorten some documentation on an event and an ioctl that are
less interesting to current programming because there are newer
preferable variants.- Spell Configuration ROM (name of an IEEE 1212 register) in
upper case.- Move the dummy FW_CDEV_VERSION out of the reader's field of
vision. We should remove it from the header next year or so.Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter

It turns out that parsing the vDSO is nontrivial if you don't already
have an ELF dynamic loader around. So document it in Documentation/ABI
and add a reference CC0-licenced parser.This code is dedicated to Go issue 1933:

There may be multiple ways of controlling the backlight on a given
machine. Allow drivers to expose the type of interface they are
providing, making it possible for userspace to make appropriate policy
decisions.Signed-off-by: Matthew Garrett

This patch renames the (never officially released) sysfs-knobs
"blocked_hw" and "blocked_sw" to "hard" and "soft", as the hardware vs
software conotation is misleading.It also gets rid of not needed locks around u32-read-access.

This moves sysfs ABI info from Documentation/rfkill.txt to the
ABI subfolder and reformats it.This also schedules the deprecated sysfs parts to be removed in
2012 (claim file) and 2014 (state file).Signed-off-by: Florian Mickler

Add a bare description of what /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX is. Others
will follow in time but right now, none of that tree is documented. The
existence of this file might at least encourage people to document new
entries.Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman

/sys/fs is where we really want file system specific sysfs objects.
Ocfs2-tools has been updated to look in /sys/fs/o2cb. We can maintain
backwards compatibility with old ocfs2-tools by using a sysfs symlink. After
some time (2 years), the symlink can be safely removed. This patch also adds
documentation to make it easier for people to figure out what /sys/fs/o2cb
is used for.Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh
