Linus Torvalds 99a7583de5 platform-drivers-x86 for v4.12-1
This pull requests represents a significantly larger and more complex set of
 changes than those of prior merge windows. In particular, we had several changes
 with dependencies on other subsystems which we felt were best managed through
 merges of immutable branches, including one each from input, i2c, and leds. Two
 patches for the watchdog subsystem are included after discussion with Wim and
 Guenter following a collision in linux-next (this should be resolved and you
 should only see these two appear in this pull request). These are called out in
 the "External" section below.
 
 Summary of changes:
  - significant further cleanup of fujitsu-laptop and hp-wmi
  - new model support for ideapad, asus, silead, and xiaomi
  - new hotkeys for thinkpad and models using intel-vbtn
  - dell keyboard backlight improvements
  - build and dependency improvements
  - intel * ipc fixes, cleanups, and api updates
  - single isolated fixes noted below

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.
