Linus Torvalds 948869fa9f MIPS changes for 4.17
These are the main MIPS changes for 4.17. Rough overview:
 
  (1) generic platform: Add support for Microsemi Ocelot SoCs
 
  (2) crypto: Add CRC32 and CRC32C HW acceleration module
 
  (3) Various cleanups and misc improvements
 
 Miscellaneous:
 
  - Hang more efficiently on halt/powerdown/restart
 
  - pm-cps: Block system suspend when a JTAG probe is present
 
  - Expand make help text for generic defconfigs
    - Refactor handling of legacy defconfigs
 
  - Determine the entry point from the ELF file header to fix microMIPS
    for certain toolchains
 
  - Introduce isa-rev.h for MIPS_ISA_REV and use to simplify other code
 
 Minor cleanups:
 
  - DTS: boston/ci20: Unit name cleanups and correction
 
  - kdump: Make the default for PHYSICAL_START always 64-bit
 
  - Constify gpio_led in Alchemy, AR7, and TXX9
 
  - Silence a couple of W=1 warnings

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.
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.
