Merge tag 'driver-core-5.10-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
Pull driver core and documentation fixes from Greg KH: "Here is one tiny debugfs change to fix up an API where the last user was successfully fixed up in 5.10-rc1 (so it couldn't be merged earlier), and a much larger Documentation/ABI/ update to the files so they can be automatically parsed by our tools. The Documentation/ABI/ updates are just formatting issues, small ones to bring the files into parsable format, and have been acked by numerous subsystem maintainers and the documentation maintainer. I figured it was good to get this into 5.10-rc2 to help wih the merge issues that would arise if these were to stick in linux-next until 5.11-rc1. The debugfs change has been in linux-next for a long time, and the Documentation updates only for the last linux-next release" * tag 'driver-core-5.10-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (40 commits) scripts: get_abi.pl: assume ReST format by default docs: ABI: sysfs-class-led-trigger-pattern: remove hw_pattern duplication docs: ABI: sysfs-class-backlight: unify ABI documentation docs: ABI: sysfs-c2port: remove a duplicated entry docs: ABI: sysfs-class-power: unify duplicated properties docs: ABI: unify /sys/class/leds/<led>/brightness documentation docs: ABI: stable: remove a duplicated documentation docs: ABI: change read/write attributes docs: ABI: cleanup several ABI documents docs: ABI: sysfs-bus-nvdimm: use the right format for ABI docs: ABI: vdso: use the right format for ABI docs: ABI: fix syntax to be parsed using ReST notation docs: ABI: convert testing/configfs-acpi to ReST docs: Kconfig/Makefile: add a check for broken ABI files docs: abi-testing.rst: enable --rst-sources when building docs docs: ABI: don't escape ReST-incompatible chars from obsolete and removed docs: ABI: create a 2-depth index for ABI docs: ABI: make it parse ABI/stable as ReST-compatible files docs: ABI: sysfs-uevent: make it compatible with ReST output docs: ABI: testing: make the files compatible with ReST output ...
