As linux-5.0.x is coming up soon, the documentation should match, in particular the README.rst file, so change all 4.x references accordingly. There was a mix of lowercase and uppercase X here, which I changed to using lowercase consistently. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet
