Linus Torvalds 0051db8218 spi: Updates for v4.21
The main thing this release has been a lot of work on the integration
 with SPI NOR flashes, there's been some specific support for a while for
 controller features designed to make them perform better but it's not
 worked out as well as hoped so the interface has been redesigned in a
 way that will hopefully do better - it's already been adopted by a
 number of additional controllers so things are looking good.  Otherwise
 most of the work has been driver specific:
 
  - Support for better integration with NOR flashes from Boris Brezillon
    and Yogesh Narayan Gaur plus usage of it in several drivers.
  - A big cleanup of the Rockchip driver from Emil Renner Berthing.
  - Lots of performance improvements for bcm2835 from Lukas Wunner.
  - Slave mode support for pxa2xx from Lubomir Rintel.
  - Support for Macronix MXIC, Mediatek MT7629 and MT8183, NPCM PSPI,
    and Renesas r8a77470.

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.
