Linus Torvalds e5f0e38e7e Driver core update for 6.12-rc1
Here is a small set of patches for the driver core code for 6.12-rc1.
 
 This set is the one that caused the most delay on my side, due to lots
 of last-minute reports of problems in the async shutdown feature that
 was added.  In the end, I've reverted all of the patches in that series
 so we are back to "normal" and the patch set is being reworked for the
 next merge window.
 
 Other than the async shutdown patches that were reverted, included in
 here are:
   - minor driver core cleanups
   - minor driver core bus and class api cleanups and simplifications for
     some callbacks
   - some const markings of structures
   - other even more minor cleanups
 
 All of these, including the last minute reverts, have been in
 linux-next, but all of the reports of problems in linux-next were before
 the reverts happened.  After the reverts, all is good.

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 reStructuredText 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.
