Merge tag 'docs-4.12' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation update from Jonathan Corbet: "A reasonably busy cycle for documentation this time around. There is a new guide for user-space API documents, rather sparsely populated at the moment, but it's a start. Markus improved the infrastructure for converting diagrams. Mauro has converted much of the USB documentation over to RST. Plus the usual set of fixes, improvements, and tweaks. There's a bit more than the usual amount of reaching out of Documentation/ to fix comments elsewhere in the tree; I have acks for those where I could get them" * tag 'docs-4.12' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (74 commits) docs: Fix a couple typos docs: Fix a spelling error in vfio-mediated-device.txt docs: Fix a spelling error in ioctl-number.txt MAINTAINERS: update file entry for HSI subsystem Documentation: allow installing man pages to a user defined directory Doc/PM: Sync with intel_powerclamp code behavior zr364xx.rst: usb/devices is now at /sys/kernel/debug/ usb.rst: move documentation from proc_usb_info.txt to USB ReST book convert philips.txt to ReST and add to media docs docs-rst: usb: update old usbfs-related documentation arm: Documentation: update a path name docs: process/4.Coding.rst: Fix a couple of document refs docs-rst: fix usb cross-references usb: gadget.h: be consistent at kernel doc macros usb: composite.h: fix two warnings when building docs usb: get rid of some ReST doc build errors usb.rst: get rid of some Sphinx errors usb/URB.txt: convert to ReST and update it usb/persist.txt: convert to ReST and add to driver-api book usb/hotplug.txt: convert to ReST and add to driver-api book ...
