Linus Torvalds 1707c39ae3 Driver core fixes for 6.0-rc7
Here are two tiny driver core fixes for 6.0-rc7 that resolve some
 oft-reported problems.
 
 The first is a revert of the "fw_devlink.strict=1" default option that
 we keep trying to enable, but we keep finding platforms that this just
 breaks everything on.  So again, we need it reverted and hopefully it
 can be worked on in future releases.
 
 The second is a sysfs file-size bugfix that resolves an issue that many
 people are starting to hit as the fix it is fixing also was backported
 to stable kernels.  The util-linux developers are starting to get
 bugreports about sysfs files that contain no data because of this
 problem, and this fix which has been in linux-next in the bitfield tree
 for a long time, resolves it.  I'm submitting it here as it needs to be
 merged for 6.0-final, not for 6.1-rc1.
 
 Both of these have been in linux-next with no reported issues, only
 reports were that these fixed problems.

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.
