Linus Torvalds dfdc1de642 Staging driver update for 5.18-rc1
Here is the big set of staging driver updates for 5.18-rc1.
 
 Loads of tiny cleanups for almost all staging drivers in here, nothing
 major at all.  Highlights include:
 	- remove the ashmem Android driver.  It is long-dead and if
 	  there are any legacy userspace applications still using it,
 	  the Android kernel images will maintain it, the community
 	  shouldn't care about it anymore
 	- wfx wifi driver major cleanups.  Should be ready to merge out
 	  of staging soon, and will coordinate with the wifi maintainers
 	  after -rc1 is out
 	- major cleanups and unwinding of the layers of the r8188eu
 	  driver.  It's amazing just how many unneeded layers of
 	  abstraction is in there, just when we think it's done, another
 	  is found...
 	- lots of tiny coding style cleanups in many other staging
 	  drivers.
 
 There will be merge conflict with a fbtft change and the spi driver
 changes in your tree, but it's pretty obvious what to do (the function
 shouldn't return anything.)
 
 All have been in linux-next for a while with no reported problems.

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.
