Pull drm updates from Dave Airlie: "This is the main drm pull request for v4.11. Nothing too major, the tinydrm and mmu-less support should make writing smaller drivers easier for some of the simpler platforms, and there are a bunch of documentation updates. Intel grew displayport MST audio support which is hopefully useful to people, and FBC is on by default for GEN9+ (so people know where to look for regressions). AMDGPU has a lot of fixes that would like new firmware files installed for some GPUs. Other than that it's pretty scattered all over. I may have a follow up pull request as I know BenH has a bunch of AST rework and fixes and I'd like to get those in once they've been tested by AST, and I've got at least one pull request I'm just trying to get the author to fix up.

docs / driver-api: Fix structure references in device_link.rst

2017-02-20T23:40:46Z

The format of the structure references in device_link.rst is incorrect, because it doesn't cause proper references to the struct data types to be generated (for struct dev_pm_domain in particular). Fix that by using the :c:type:`struct name ` convention for encoding references to struct data types.

PM / docs: Fix structure references in device.rst

2017-02-20T23:40:42Z

There is a better way to represent structure references than it was done in device.rst by commit 730c4c053012 (PM / sleep / docs: Convert PM notifiers document to reST), which is to use "struct name" as a link caption (e.g. :c:type:`struct device `). That will cause sphinx to generate a proper reference to the data type in question (struct device in the example above) and "struct name" will work as the link in the HTML output. Fix device.rst by using that convention where applicable. Fixes: 730c4c053012 (PM / sleep / docs: Convert PM notifiers document to reST) Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

PM / sleep / docs: Convert PM notifiers document to reST

2017-02-06T18:26:02Z

Move the document describing PM notifiers (used during system sleep state transitions) to Documentation/driver-api/pm/, convert it to reST and update it to use current terminology. Also replace the remaining references to the old version of it in .txt documents with references to the new one. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

PM / core / docs: Convert sleep states API document to reST

2017-02-06T18:25:55Z

Move the document describing the system sleep state transitions API for devices to Documentation/driver-api/pm/, convert it to reST and update it to use current terminology. Also remove the remaining reference to the old version of it from pm.h. The new document still contains references to some documents in the .txt format that will be converted later.

docs: Convert the regulator docbook to RST

2017-02-01T00:31:41Z

A fairly straightforward conversion to RST; the document is then added to the driver-api manual. Of course, this document has seen no substantive changes since 2008, so chances are it needs work in other areas as well. Cc: Mark Brown Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

docs: Convert the deviceio template to RST

2017-02-01T00:31:21Z

Convert deviceiobook.tmpl to RST and incorporate it into the driver API manual. Like the rest of our documentation, this one could use some work. There's no mention of ioremap() and friends, no mention of io_read*() and friends. But we have nice documentation for all those folks writing new drivers that do port I/O :). The :c:func: notation has been left off of all the read*/write* functions. There's no kerneldoc comments for them anyway, so those links will never be live, and writing a bunch of repetitive "read a byte from I/O memory" comments lacks appeal.
