Linus Torvalds 2471d2b3b2 * MTD changes
No particularly important patchset this cycle, but we have a few usual
 improvements: like using a better/more recent helper or checking a
 return value.
 
 * Raw NAND changes
 
 The use of for_each_child_of_node_scoped() has been spread into the
 subsystem drivers. Aside from that, a couple of exit path have been
 fixed (mtk, denali), the TI GPMC bindings have been enhanced to comply
 with up-to-date partition descriptions and as always there is a load of
 small and misc fixes.
 
 * SPI-NAND changes
 
 The most impacting series this cycle is bringing support for continuous
 reads in the SPI-NAND subsystem. This is a feature already merged in the
 raw NAND subsystem which allows optimizing the internal fetch times in
 the chip while reading sequential pages within an eraseblock. For now
 only Macronix NANDs benefit from this feature. While we are talking
 about Macronix, some of their chip need an explicit action for selecting
 a different plane, and support for it has also been brought.
 
 The bitflip threshold has also been set to the same arbitrary level as
 in the raw NAND subsystem to optimize wear leveling decisions, and
 finally support for a new Winbond chip has been added.
 
 * SPI NOR changes
 
 Notable changes:
 - Add Write Protect support for N25Q064A.
 - New flash support for Zetta ZD25Q128C and Spansion S28HS256T.
 - Fix a NULL dereference in probe path for flashes without a name. The
   probe path tries to access the name without checking its existence
   first. S28HS256T is the first flash to define its entry without a
   name, uncovering this issue.

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.
