Merge tag 'docs-5.7' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"This has been a busy cycle for documentation work.
Highlights include:
- Lots of RST conversion work by Mauro, Daniel ALmeida, and others.
Maybe someday we'll get to the end of this stuff...maybe...
- Some organizational work to bring some order to the core-api
manual.
- Various new docs and additions to the existing documentation.
- Typo fixes, warning fixes, ..."
