Linus Torvalds 3879ae653a The core framework has a handful of patches this time around, mostly due
to the clk rate protection support added by Jerome Brunet. This feature
 will allow consumers to lock in a certain rate on the output of a clk so
 that things like audio playback don't hear pops when the clk frequency
 changes due to shared parent clks changing rates. Currently the clk
 API doesn't guarantee the rate of a clk stays at the rate you request
 after clk_set_rate() is called, so this new API will allow drivers
 to express that requirement. Beyond this, the core got some debugfs
 pretty printing patches and a couple minor non-critical fixes.
 
 Looking outside of the core framework diff we have some new driver
 additions and the removal of a legacy TI clk driver. Both of these hit
 high in the dirstat. Also, the removal of the asm-generic/clkdev.h file
 causes small one-liners in all the architecture Kbuild files. Overall, the
 driver diff seems to be the normal stuff that comes all the time to
 fix little problems here and there and to support new hardware.

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.
