Linus Torvalds 84928ce3bb Driver core fixes for 5.15-rc4
Here are some driver core and kernfs fixes for reported issues for
 5.15-rc4.  These fixes include:
 	- kernfs positive dentry bugfix
 	- debugfs_create_file_size error path fix
 	- cpumask sysfs file bugfix to preserve the user/kernel abi (has
 	  been reported multiple times.)
 	- devlink fixes for mdiobus devices as reported by the subsystem
 	  maintainers.
 
 Also included in here are some devlink debugging changes to make it
 easier for people to report problems when asked.  They have already
 helped with the mdiobus and other subsystems reporting issues.
 
 All of these have been linux-next for a while with no reported issues.

README

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.
