pinctl is not ideal as pinctrl (with an 'r') is much more common. Linus
state that pin-control.rst would be the best name for the documentation.

Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the large set of char/misc/whatever driver subsystem updates
for 5.12-rc1. Over time it seems like this tree is collecting more and
more tiny driver subsystems in one place, making it easier for those
maintainers, which is why this is getting larger.
Included in here are:
- coresight driver updates
- habannalabs driver updates
- virtual acrn driver addition (proper acks from the x86 maintainers)
- broadcom misc driver addition
- speakup driver updates
- soundwire driver updates
- fpga driver updates
- amba driver updates
- mei driver updates
- vfio driver updates
- greybus driver updates
- nvmeem driver updates
- phy driver updates
- mhi driver updates
- interconnect driver udpates
- fsl-mc bus driver updates
- random driver fix
- some small misc driver updates (rtsx, pvpanic, etc.)
All of these have been in linux-next for a while, with the only
reported issue being a merge conflict due to the dfl_device_id
addition from the fpga subsystem in here"

Pull initial support for CXL (Compute Express Link) from Dan Williams:
"Introduce an initial driver for CXL 2.0 Type-3 Memory Devices.
CXL is Compute Express Link which released the 2.0 specification in
November. The Linux relevant changes in CXL 2.0 are support for an OS
to dynamically assign address space to memory devices, support for
switches, persistent memory, and hotplug.
A Type-3 Memory Device is a PCI enumerated device presenting the CXL
Memory Device Class Code and implementing the CXL.mem protocol.
CXL.mem allows device to advertise CPU and I/O coherent memory to the
system, i.e. typical "System RAM" and "Persistent Memory" in Linux
/proc/iomem terms.
In addition to the CXL.mem fast path there is an administrative
command hardware mailbox interface for maintenance and provisioning.
It is this command interface that is the focus of the initial driver.
With this driver a CXL device that is mapped by the BIOS can be
administered by Linux.
Linux support for CXL PMEM and dynamic CXL address space management
are to be implemented post v5.12"

|

The CXL.mem protocol allows a device to act as a provider of "System
RAM" and/or "Persistent Memory" that is fully coherent as if the memory
was attached to the typical CPU memory controller.
With the CXL-2.0 specification a PCI endpoint can implement a "Type-3"
device interface and give the operating system control over "Host
Managed Device Memory". See section 2.3 Type 3 CXL Device.
The memory range exported by the device may optionally be described by
the platform firmware memory map, or by infrastructure like LIBNVDIMM to
provision persistent memory capacity from one, or more, CXL.mem devices.
A pre-requisite for Linux-managed memory-capacity provisioning is this
cxl_mem driver that can speak the mailbox protocol defined in section
8.2.8.4 Mailbox Registers.
For now just land the initial driver boiler-plate and Documentation/
infrastructure.

The pldmfw library is used to implement common logic needed to flash
devices based on firmware files using the format described by the PLDM
for Firmware Update standard.
This library consists of logic to parse the PLDM file format from
a firmware file object, as well as common logic for sending the relevant
PLDM header data to the device firmware.
A simple ops table is provided so that device drivers can implement
device specific hardware interactions while keeping the common logic to
the pldmfw library.
This library will be used by the Intel ice networking driver as part of
implementing device flash update via devlink. The library aims to be
vendor and device agnostic. For this reason, it has been placed in
lib/pldmfw, in the hopes that other devices which use the PLDM firmware
file format may benefit from it in the future. However, do note that not
all features defined in the PLDM standard have been implemented.

- The si2157 gained support for Analog TV, which, in turn, added
support for some cx231xx and cx23885 boards to also support analog
standards;
- Added some V4L2 controls (V4L2_CID_CAMERA_ORIENTATION and
V4L2_CID_CAMERA_SENSOR_ROTATION) to help identifying where the camera
is located at the device;
- VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT was extended to support MC-centric devices;
- Lots of drivers improvements and cleanups.

The IPMI is under drivers/char. This doc describes the kAPI
part of the IPMI (mainly).
So, move it to the driver-api directory and add it to the
corresponding index.rst file.

Pull Documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"Here are the main documentation changes for 5.5:
- Various kerneldoc script enhancements.
- More RST conversions; those are slowing down as we run out of
things to convert, but we're a ways from done still.
- Dan's "maintainer profile entry" work landed at last. Now we just
need to get maintainers to fill in the profiles...
- A reworking of the parallel build setup to work better with a
variety of systems (and to not take over huge systems entirely in
particular).
- The MAINTAINERS file is now converted to RST during the build.
Hopefully nobody ever tries to print this thing, or they will need
to load a lot of paper.
- A script and documentation making it easy for maintainers to add
Link: tags at commit time.
Also included is the removal of a bunch of spurious CR characters"

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
"This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v5.5 kernel cycle
Core changes:
- Expose pull up/down flags for the GPIO character device to
userspace.
After clear input from the RaspberryPi and Beagle communities, it
has been established that prototyping, industrial automation and
make communities strongly need this feature, and as we want people
to use the character device, we have implemented the simple pull
up/down interface for GPIO lines.
This means we can specify that a (chip-specific) pull up/down
resistor can be enabled, but does not offer fine-grained control
such as cases where the resistance of the same pull resistor can be
controlled (yet).
- Introduce devm_fwnode_gpiod_get_index() and start to phase out the
old symbol devm_fwnode_get_index_gpiod_from_child().
- A bit of documentation clean-up work.
- Introduce a define for GPIO line directions and deploy it in all
GPIO drivers in the drivers/gpio directory.
- Add a special callback to populate pin ranges when cooperating with
the pin control subsystem and registering ranges as part of adding
a gpiolib driver and a gpio_irq_chip driver at the same time. This
is also deployed in the Intel Merrifield driver.
New drivers:
- RDA Micro GPIO controller.
- XGS-iproc GPIO driver.
Driver improvements:
- Wake event and debounce support on the Tegra 186 driver.
- Finalize the Aspeed SGPIO driver.
- MPC8xxx uses a normal IRQ handler rather than a chained handler"

The devfreq subsystem has plenty of kernel-doc comments but they're not

Add a minimal devfreq.rst file which mostly just includes kernel-doc
comments from devfreq source. This also exposes a number of kernel-doc
