Linus Torvalds 9786e34e0a MTD updates for 4.12-rc1:
NAND, from Boris:
 """
  - some minor fixes/improvements on existing drivers (fsmc, gpio, ifc,
    davinci, brcmnand, omap)
  - a huge cleanup/rework of the denali driver accompanied with core
    fixes/improvements to simplify the driver code
  - a complete rewrite of the atmel driver to support new DT bindings
    make future evolution easier
  - the addition of per-vendor detection/initialization steps to avoid
    extending the nand_ids table with more extended-id entries
 """
 
 SPI NOR, from Cyrille:
 """
 - fixes in the hisi SPI controller driver.
 - fixes in the intel SPI controller driver.
 - fixes in the Mediatek SPI controller driver.
 - fixes to some SPI flash memories not supported the Chip Erase command.
 - add support to some new memory parts (Winbond, Macronix, Micron, ESMT).
 - add new driver for the STM32 QSPI controller.
 """
 
 And a few fixes for Gemini and Versatile platforms on physmap-of

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.
