Linus Torvalds 36f20ee24b platform-drivers-x86 for v4.15-2
Fix two issues resulting from the dell-smbios refactoring and
 introduction of the dell-smbios-wmi dispatcher. The first ensures a
 proper error code is returned when kzalloc fails. The second avoids an
 issue in older Dell BIOS implementations which would fail if the more
 complex calls were made by limiting those platforms to the simple calls
 such as those used by the existing dell-laptop and dell-wmi drivers,
 preserving their functionality prior to the addition of the
 dell-smbios-wmi dispatcher.
 
 The following is an automated git shortlog grouped by driver:
 
 dell-laptop:
  -  Fix error return code in dell_init()
 
 dell-smbios-wmi:
  -  Disable userspace interface if missing hotfix

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.
