With the addition of SPDX patchset, the contents of COPYING file
is now duplicated at two other files under LICENSE:
LICENSES/preferred/GPL-2.0
LICENSES/exceptions/Linux-syscall-note
It is easy to check that the contents of the licence written on
those files are identical with COPYING using:
$ diff -upr COPYING LICENSES/preferred/GPL-2.0
$ diff -upr COPYING LICENSES/exceptions/Linux-syscall-note|less
Also, a new file was added, with describes how SPDX should work at
the Kernel source files:
Documentation/process/license-rules.rst
Instead fo having it copying the contents of two files, and not
even mentioning the third one, replace it by a file whose content
points to the other tree files, preserving the Kernel's license.
Adjust license-rules.rst accordingly.
Please notice that this file preserves the Kernel license as
is, without any changes.

The existing sysfs interface has been updated to be in the same format
as described in Documentation/ABI/README. This will be useful for
scripting and tracking changes in the ABI. Attributes have been grouped
by functionality and/or the date on which they were added.
There are a couple of more changes:
- The attributes have been annotated with file permissions RO/RW/WO.
- Added description of the bus attribute supported_features

I think we need to soften the language a bit. It might scare folks
off, especially the:
We prefer to fully disclose the bug as soon as possible.
which is not really the case. Linus says:
It's not full disclosure, it's not coordinated disclosure,
and it's not "no disclosure". It's more like just "timely
open fixes".
I changed a bit of the wording in here, but mostly to remove the word
"disclosure" since it seems to mean very specific things to people
that we do not mean here.
