Merge tag 'docs-4.9' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"This is the documentation update pull for the 4.9 merge window.
The Sphinx transition is still creating a fair amount of work. Here we
have a number of fixes and, importantly, a proper PDF output solution,
thanks to Jani Nikula, Mauro Carvalho Chehab and Markus Heiser.
I've started a couple of new books: a driver API book (based on the
old device-drivers.tmpl) and a development tools book. Both are meant
to show how we can integrate together our existing documentation into
a more coherent and accessible whole. It involves moving some stuff
around and formatting changes, but, I think, the results are worth it.
The good news is that most of our existing Documentation/*.txt files
are *almost* in RST format already; the amount of messing around
required is minimal.
And, of course, there's the usual set of updates, typo fixes, and
more"
