Here is the big set of new char/misc driver drivers and features for
4.12-rc1.
There's lots of new drivers added this time around, new firmware drivers
from Google, more auxdisplay drivers, extcon drivers, fpga drivers, and
a bunch of other driver updates. Nothing major, except if you happen to
have the hardware for these drivers, and then you will be happy :)
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues.

Pull networking updates from David Millar:
"Here are some highlights from the 2065 networking commits that
happened this development cycle:
1) XDP support for IXGBE (John Fastabend) and thunderx (Sunil Kowuri)
2) Add a generic XDP driver, so that anyone can test XDP even if they
lack a networking device whose driver has explicit XDP support
(me).
3) Sparc64 now has an eBPF JIT too (me)
4) Add a BPF program testing framework via BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN (Alexei
Starovoitov)

8) Support TC flower offload statistics in mlxsw (Arkadi Sharshevsky)
9) Multiqueue support in stmmac driver (Joao Pinto)
10) Remove TCP timewait recycling, it never really could possibly work

hint of usability this feature had (Soheil Hassas Yeganeh)

This file is actually quite complex, and required several
manual handwork:
- add a title for the document;
- use the right tags for monospaced fonts;
- use c references where needed;
- adjust cross-reference to writing_usb_driver.rst
- hightlight cross-referenced lines.
With regards to C code snippet line highlights, the better would be
to use :linenos: for the C code snippets that are referenced by
the line number. However, at least with Sphinx 1.4.9, enabling
it cause the line number to be misaligned with the code,
making it even more confusing. So, instead, let's use
:emphasize-lines: tag to mark the lines that are referenced
at the text.

Pull drm updates from Dave Airlie:
"This is the main drm pull request for v4.11.
Nothing too major, the tinydrm and mmu-less support should make
writing smaller drivers easier for some of the simpler platforms, and
there are a bunch of documentation updates.
Intel grew displayport MST audio support which is hopefully useful to
people, and FBC is on by default for GEN9+ (so people know where to
look for regressions). AMDGPU has a lot of fixes that would like new
firmware files installed for some GPUs.
Other than that it's pretty scattered all over.
I may have a follow up pull request as I know BenH has a bunch of AST
rework and fixes and I'd like to get those in once they've been tested

The format of the structure references in device_link.rst is
incorrect, because it doesn't cause proper references to the
struct data types to be generated (for struct dev_pm_domain in
particular).
Fix that by using the :c:type:`struct name <name>` convention
for encoding references to struct data types.

There is a better way to represent structure references than it was
done in device.rst by commit 730c4c0530 (PM / sleep / docs: Convert
PM notifiers document to reST), which is to use "struct name" as a
link caption (e.g. :c:type:`struct device <device>`). That will
cause sphinx to generate a proper reference to the data type in
question (struct device in the example above) and "struct name"
will work as the link in the HTML output.
Fix device.rst by using that convention where applicable.

A fairly straightforward conversion to RST; the document is then added to
the driver-api manual.
Of course, this document has seen no substantive changes since 2008, so
chances are it needs work in other areas as well.

Convert deviceiobook.tmpl to RST and incorporate it into the driver API
manual.
Like the rest of our documentation, this one could use some work. There's
no mention of ioremap() and friends, no mention of io_read*() and friends.
But we have nice documentation for all those folks writing new drivers that
do port I/O :).
The :c:func: notation has been left off of all the read*/write* functions.
There's no kerneldoc comments for them anyway, so those links will never be
live, and writing a bunch of repetitive "read a byte from I/O memory"
comments lacks appeal.

First -misc pull for 4.11:
- drm_mm rework + lots of selftests (Chris Wilson)
- new connector_list locking+iterators
- plenty of kerneldoc updates
- format handling rework from Ville
- atomic helper changes from Maarten for better plane corner-case handling
in drivers, plus the i915 legacy cursor patch that needs this
- bridge cleanup from Laurent
- plus plenty of small stuff all over
- also contains a merge of the 4.10 docs tree so that we could apply the
dma-buf kerneldoc patches
It's a lot more than usual, but due to the merge window blackout it also
covers about 4 weeks, so all in line again on a per-week basis. The more
annoying part with no pull request for 4 weeks is managing cross-tree
work. The -intel pull request I'll follow up with does conflict quite a
bit with -misc here. Longer-term (if drm-misc keeps growing) a
drm-next-queued to accept pull request for the next merge window during
this time might be useful.
I'd also like to backmerge -rc2+this into drm-intel next week, we have
quite a pile of patches waiting for the stuff in here.

The references to drivers/base/power/main.c and
drivers/acpi/scan.c from Documentation/driver-api/infrastructure.rst
are confusing. They both cause descriptions of functions that are
not relevant to device drivers at all to be generated and none of
them is sufficient to cover the API in a meaningful way.

- Put the overview and userspace interface documentation into a DOC:
section within the code.
- Remove the text that mmap needs to be coherent - since the
DMA_BUF_IOCTL_SYNC landed that's no longer the case. But keep the text
that for pte zapping exporters need to adjust the address space.
- Add a FIXME that kmap and the new begin/end stuff used by the SYNC
ioctl don't really mix correctly. That's something I just realized
while doing this doc rework.
