Linus Torvalds 331da109ec Char/Misc driver fixes for 4.12-rc2
Here are 5 small bugfixes for reported issues with 4.12-rc1 and earlier
 kernels.  Nothing huge here, just a lp, mem, vpd, and uio driver fix,
 along with a Kconfig fixup for one of the misc drivers.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next with no reported issues.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
