Linus Torvalds b707512b8b Staging driver updates for 6.12-rc1
Here is the big set of staging driver cleanups and removals for
 6.12-rc1.
 
 Nothing exciting here, just slow, constant, forward progress in removing
 code and cleaning up some old drivers, along with removing one of them
 that was not being used anymore at all.  In discussions with some
 developers this past week, even more deletions will be happening for the
 next major merge window, as we seems to have code here that obviously no
 one is using anymore.
 
 Along with the normal cleanups is the good vme_user code forward
 progress, the one major bright spot in the staging subsystem for code
 that people rely on, and is getting good development behind it.
 Hopefully it can graduate out of staging "soon".
 
 All of these changes have been in linux-next for a long time with no
 reported problems.

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.
