Linus Torvalds db5933225f TTY/Staging driver updates for 4.16-rc1
Here is the big tty/serial driver update for 4.16-rc1.
 
 The usual number of various serial driver fixes and updates to try to
 get them to work with crazy hardware configurations (seriously, how many
 different ways are hardware engineers going to come up with to hook up a
 simple UART?)
 
 There is also some serdev bugfixes and updates, as well as a smattering
 of other small fixes in here.
 
 All have been in the linux-next tree for a while, with no reported
 issues.

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.
