Linus Torvalds 7240153a9b Driver core updates for 5.11-rc1
Here is the big driver core updates for 5.11-rc1
 
 This time there was a lot of different work happening here for some
 reason:
 	- redo of the fwnode link logic, speeding it up greatly
 	- auxiliary bus added (this was a tag that will be pulled in
 	  from other trees/maintainers this merge window as well, as
 	  driver subsystems started to rely on it)
 	- platform driver core cleanups on the way to fixing some
 	  long-time api updates in future releases
 	- minor fixes and tweaks.
 
 All have been in linux-next with no (finally) reported issues.  Testing
 there did helped in shaking issues out a lot :)

README

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 Restructured Text 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.
