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.

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
"This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.12 kernel cycle.
Core changes:
- Return NULL from gpiod_get_optional() when GPIOLIB is disabled.
This was a much discussed change. It affects use cases where people
write drivers that might or might not be using GPIO resources. I
have decided that this is the lesser evil right now.
- Make gpiod_count() behave consistently across different hardware
descriptions.
- Fix the syntax around open drain/open source to not infer active
high/low semantics.
New drivers:
- A new single-register fixed-direction framework driver for hardware
that have lines controlled by a single register that just work in
one direction (out or in), including IRQ support.
- Support the Fintek F71889A GPIO SuperIO controller.
- Support the National NI 169445 MMIO GPIO.
- Support for the X-Gene derivative of the DWC GPIO controller
- Support for the Rohm BD9571MWV-M PMIC GPIO controller.
- Refactor the Gemini GPIO driver to a generic Faraday FTGPIO driver
and replace both the Gemini and the Moxa ART custom drivers with
this driver.
Driver improvements:
- A whole slew of drivers have their spinlocks chaned to raw
spinlocks as they provide irqchips, and thus we are progressing on
realtime compliance.
- Use devm_irq_alloc_descs() in a slew of drivers, getting managed
resources.
- Support for the embedded PWM controller inside the MVEBU driver.
- Debounce, open source and open drain support for the Aspeed driver.
- Misc smaller fixes like spelling and syntax and whatnot"
