Linus Torvalds f6cff79f1d Char/Misc driver patches for 4.16-rc1
Here is the big pull request for char/misc drivers for 4.16-rc1.
 
 There's a lot of stuff in here.  Three new driver subsystems were added
 for various types of hardware busses:
 	- siox
 	- slimbus
 	- soundwire
 as well as a new vboxguest subsystem for the VirtualBox hypervisor
 drivers.
 
 There's also big updates from the FPGA subsystem, lots of Android binder
 fixes, the usual handful of hyper-v updates, and lots of other smaller
 driver updates.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a long time, 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.
