  - Add quirks for Asus GL502VSK and UX305LA to the ACPI battery
    driver and clean it up somewhat (Bjørn Mork, Kai-Heng Feng).
 
  - Add device link for CHT SD card dependency on I2C to the ACPI
    LPSS (Intel SoCs) driver and make it avoid creating platform
    device objects for devices without MMIO resources (Adrian Hunter,
    Hans de Goede).
 
  - Fix the ACPI GPE mask kernel command line parameter handling
    (Prarit Bhargava).

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
