While I was tempted to move it to admin-guide, as some docs
there are more userspace-faced, there are some very technical
discussions about memory error correction code from the Kernel
implementer's PoV. So, let's place it inside the driver-api
book.

Here is the big staging and iio driver update for 5.2-rc1.
Lots of tiny fixes all over the staging and IIO driver trees here, along
with some new IIO drivers.
Also we ended up deleting two drivers, making this pull request remove a
few hundred thousand lines of code, always a nice thing to see. Both of
the drivers removed have been replaced with "real" drivers in their
various subsystem directories, and they will be coming to you from those
locations during this merge window.
There are some core vt/selection changes in here, that was due to some
cleanups needed for the speakup fixes. Those have all been acked by the
various subsystem maintainers (i.e. me), so those are ok.
We also added a few new drivers, for some odd hardware, giving new
developers plenty to work on with basic coding style cleanups to come in
the near future.
Other than that, nothing unusual here.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues, other than an odd gcc warning for one of the new drivers that
should be fixed up soon.

While typing these I think doing an s/component_master/aggregate/
would be useful:
- it's shorter :-)
- I think component/aggregate is much more meaningful naming than
component/puppetmaster or something like that. At least to my
English ear "aggregate" emphasizes much more the "assemble a pile of
things into something bigger" aspect, and there's not really much
of a control hierarchy between aggregate and constituing components.
But that's way more than a quick doc typing exercise ...
Thanks to Ram for commenting on an initial draft of these docs.
v2: Review from Rafael:
- git add Documenation/driver-api/component.rst
- lots of polish to the wording + spelling fixes.
v3: Review from Russell:
- s/framework/helper
- clarify the documentation for component_match_add functions.
v4: Remove a few superflous "This".

xfcp, hisi_sas, cxlflash, qla2xxx. In the absence of Nic, we're also
taking target updates which are mostly minor except for the tcmu
refactor. The only real core change to worry about is the removal of
high page bouncing (in sas, storvsc and iscsi). This has been well
tested and no problems have shown up so far.

Here is the "big" char and misc driver patches for 4.18-rc1.
It's not a lot of stuff here, but there are some highlights:
- coreboot driver updates
- soundwire driver updates
- android binder updates
- fpga big sync, mostly documentation
- lots of minor driver updates
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues.

Core:
- The documentation is moved over to RST.
- We now have agreed bindings for enabling input and output
buffers without actually enabling input and/or output on a
pin. We are chiseling out some details of pin control
electronics.
New drivers:
- ZTE ZX
- Renesas RZA1
- MIPS Ingenic JZ47xx: also switch over existing drivers in the
tree to use this pin controller and consolidate earlier
spread out code.
- Microschip MCP23S08: this driver is migrated from the GPIO
subsystem and totally rewritten to use proper pin control.
All users are switched over.
New subdrivers:
- Renesas R8A7743 and R8A7745.
- Allwinner Sunxi A83T R_PIO.
- Marvell MVEBU Armada CP110 and AP806.
- Intel Cannon Lake PCH.
- Qualcomm IPQ8074.
Notable improvements:
- IRQ support on the Marvell MVEBU Armada 37xx.
- Meson driver supports HDMI CEC, AO, I2S, SPDIF and PWM.
- Rockchip driver now supports iomux-route switching for
RK3228, RK3328 and RK3399.
- Rockchip A10 and A20 are merged into a single driver.
- STM32 has improved GPIO support.
- Samsung Exynos drivers are split per ARMv7 and ARMv8.
- Marvell MVEBU is converted to use regmap for register
access.
Maintenance:
- Several Renesas SH-PFC refactorings and updates.
- Serious code size cut for Mediatek MT7623.
- Misc janitorial and MAINTAINERS fixes.

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.
