     NAND/OneNAND sub-layers
   * Update the MAINTAINERS entry to reflect the fact that MTD
     maintainers now use a single git tree

     usage and make KASAN happy
 
 NAND changes:
   Core changes:

   * Introduce the ->exec_op() infrastructure
   * Rework NAND buffers handling
   * Fix ECC requirements for K9F4G08U0D

   Driver changes:
   * MTK: Rework the driver to support new IP versions
   * OMAP OneNAND: Full rework to use new APIs (libgpio, dmaengine) and fix
     DT support
   * Marvell: Add a new driver to replace the pxa3xx one
 
 SPI NOR changes:
   Core changes:
   * Add support to new ISSI and Cypress/Spansion memory parts.
   * Fix support of Micron memories by checking error bits in the FSR.
   * Fix update of block-protection bits by reading back the SR.
   * Restore the internal state of the SPI flash memory when removing the
     device.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
