Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"This is a fairly typical cycle for documentation. There's some welcome
readability improvements for the formatted output, some LICENSES
updates including the addition of the ISC license, the removal of the
unloved and unmaintained 00-INDEX files, the deprecated APIs document
from Kees, more MM docs from Mike Rapoport, and the usual pile of typo
fixes and corrections"

Using non-GPL licenses for our documentation is rather problematic,
as it can directly include other files, which generally are GPLv2
licensed and thus not compatible.
Remove this license now that the only user (idr.rst) is gone to avoid
people semi-accidentally using it again.

Add the full text of the ISC license to the kernel tree. It was copied
directly from:
https://spdx.org/licenses/ISC.html
With the mention of "ISC" in the warranty disclaimer replaced with
"THE AUTHOR" as done in the ISC license headers used in the ath10k and
brcmfmac wifi drivers.

The only reason we have the CDDL-1.0 license text around is for some
dual-licensed files from virtualbox. New code should not use this license.
Add a note about this and change the example tag to be dual-licensed.

The infiniband code uses a variant of the OpenIB license. This license is
BSD-2-Clause with the MIT disclaimer. The linux kernel uses this license
extensively throughout the driver subsystem since 2005. Note that the
OpenIB.org license is a true match to BSD-2-Clause.
The license text was copied from:
https://spdx.org/licenses/Linux-OpenIB.html#licenseText
