Linus Torvalds 6861eaf791 ATA changes for 6.3-rc1
* Small cleanup of the pata_octeon driver to drop a useless platform
     callback, from Uwe.
 
   * Simplify ata_scsi_cmd_error_handler() code using the fact that
     ap->ops->error_handler is NULL most of the time, from Wenchao.
 
   * Several patches improving libata error handling. This is in
     preparation for supporting the command duration limits (CDL)
     feature. The changes allow handling corner cases of ATA NCQ errors
     which do not happen with regular drives but will be triggered with
     CDL drives. From Niklas.
 
   * Simplify the qc_fill_rtf operation, from me.
 
   * Improve SCSI command translation for the
     REPORT_SUPPORTED_OPERATION_CODES command, from me.
 
   * Cleanup of libata FUA handling. This falls short of enabling FUA for
     ATA drives that support it by default as there were concerns that
     old drives would break. The series howeverfixes several issues with
     the FUA support to ensure that FUA is reported as being supported
     only for drives that can handle all possible write cases (NCQ and
     non-NCQ). A check in the block layer is also added to ensure that we
     never see read FUA commands (current behavior). From me.
 
   * Several patches to move the old PARIDE (parallel port IDE) driver to
     libata as pata_parport. Given that this driver also needs protocol
     modules, the driver code resides in its own pata_parport directoy
     under drivers/ata. From Ondrej.

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.

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.
