Pull regmap updates from Mark Brown:
 "This has been a very active release for the regmap API for some
  reason, a lot of it due to new devices with odd requirements that can
  sensibly be handled here.

   - Add support for buses implementing a custom reg_update_bits()
     method in case the bus has a native operation for this.

   - Support 16 bit register addresses in SMBus.

   - Allow customization of the device attached to regmap-irq.

   - Helpers for bitfield operations and per-port field initializations"

* tag 'regmap-v5.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regmap:

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.
