Merge tag 'docs-6.7' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "The number of commits for documentation is not huge this time around, but there are some significant changes nonetheless: - Some more Spanish-language and Chinese translations - The much-discussed documentation of the confidential-computing threat model - Powerpc and RISCV documentation move under Documentation/arch - these complete this particular bit of documentation churn - A large traditional-Chinese documentation update - A new document on backporting and conflict resolution - Some kernel-doc and Sphinx fixes Plus the usual smattering of smaller updates and typo fixes" * tag 'docs-6.7' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (40 commits) scripts/kernel-doc: Fix the regex for matching -Werror flag docs: backporting: address feedback Documentation: driver-api: pps: Update PPS generator documentation speakup: Document USB support doc: blk-ioprio: Bring the doc in line with the implementation docs: usb: fix reference to nonexistent file in UVC Gadget docs: doc-guide: mention 'make refcheckdocs' Documentation: fix typo in dynamic-debug howto scripts/kernel-doc: match -Werror flag strictly Documentation/sphinx: Remove the repeated word "the" in comments. docs: sparse: add SPDX-License-Identifier docs/zh_CN: Add subsystem-apis Chinese translation docs/zh_TW: update contents for zh_TW docs: submitting-patches: encourage direct notifications to commenters docs: add backporting and conflict resolution document docs: move riscv under arch docs: update link to powerpc/vmemmap_dedup.rst mm/memory-hotplug: fix typo in documentation docs: move powerpc under arch PCI: Update the devres documentation regarding to pcim_*() ...
