docs: process: submitting-patches.rst: avoid using ReST :doc:`foo` markup

2021-06-17T19:24:38Z

The :doc:`foo` tag is auto-generated via automarkup.py. So, use the filename at the sources, instead of :doc:`foo`. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/d172ab629c3e32c8d27ed4b9d2a209933e2a7178.1623824363.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

Documentation: drop optional BOMs

2021-05-10T21:17:34Z

A few of the Documentation .rst files begin with a Unicode byte order mark (BOM). The BOM may signify endianess for 16-bit or 32-bit encodings or indicate that the text stream is indeed Unicode. We don't need it for either of those uses. It may also interfere with (confuse) some software. Since we don't need it and its use is optional, just delete the uses of it in Documentation/. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Reviewed-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) Reviewed-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210506231907.14359-1-rdunlap@infradead.org Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

Highlights include: - The Chinese translators have been busy and show no signs of stopping anytime soon.

Documentation/submitting-patches: Document RESEND tag on patches

2021-04-13T21:00:37Z

Explain when a submitter should tag a patch or a patch series with the "RESEND" tag. This has been partially carved out from a tip subsystem handbook patchset by Thomas Gleixner: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181107171010.421878737@linutronix.de and incorporates follow-on comments.

Merge 5.12-rc3 into tty-next

2021-03-15T07:43:49Z

Resolves a merge issue with: drivers/tty/hvc/hvcs.c and we want the tty/serial fixes from 5.12-rc3 in here as well. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: remove TTY_LDISC_MAGIC

2021-03-10T08:34:06Z

First, it is never checked. Second, use of it as a debugging aid is at least questionable. With the current tools, I don't think anyone used this kind of thing for debugging purposes for years. On the top of that, e.g. serdev does not set this field of tty_ldisc_ops at all. So get rid of this legacy.

tty: rocket, remove the driver

2021-03-10T08:34:06Z

While the driver is still marked as maintained in MAINTAINERS, Comtrol does not really care about this ancient driver. They are still manufacturing serial devices, but those are controlled only by out-of-tree drivers. Comtrol didn't answer my pings, so this driver is apparently unmaintained. Aside from that, the driver was untouched for years, only whole-tree changes happened during the past years. The driver needs much more care, so drop it for now. If someone steps up to reintroduce it, they need to clean it up first.

tty: isicom, remove this orphan

2021-03-10T08:34:06Z

The Isicom driver was orphaned by commit d86b3001a1a6 (MAINTAINERS: orphan isicom) 10 years ago. Noone stepped up to take care of them and to fix all the issues the driver has. So it's time to drop the driver with all its traces. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210302062214.29627-6-jslaby@suse.cz Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
