Linus Torvalds bb41fe35dc Char/Misc and other driver subsystem updates for 6.9-rc1
Here is the big set of char/misc and a number of other driver subsystem
 updates for 6.9-rc1.  Included in here are:
   - IIO driver updates, loads of new ones and evolution of existing ones
   - coresight driver updates
   - const cleanups for many driver subsystems
   - speakup driver additions
   - platform remove callback void cleanups
   - mei driver updates
   - mhi driver updates
   - cdx driver updates for MSI interrupt handling
   - nvmem driver updates
   - other smaller driver updates and cleanups, full details in the
     shortlog
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a long time with no reported
 issue, other than a build warning with some older versions of gcc for a
 speakup driver, fix for that will come in a few days when I catch up
 with my pending patch queues.

The build warning hits clang and is a gcc (and C23) extension, and is
fixed up in the merge.

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 reStructuredText 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.
