Linus Torvalds 3fd14cdcc0 MTD changes:
Core:
     * Remove support for asynchronous erase (not implemented by any of
       the existing drivers anyway)
     * Remove Cyrille from the list of SPI NOR and MTD maintainers
     * Fix kernel doc headers
     * Allow users to define the partitions parsers they want to test
       through a DT property (compatible of the partitions subnode)
     * Remove the bfin-async-flash driver (the only architecture using
       it has been removed)
     * Fix pagetest test
     * Add extra checks in mtd_erase()
     * Simplify the MTD partition creation logic and get rid of
       mtd_add_device_partitions()
 
    Drivers:
     * Add endianness information to the physmap DT binding
     * Add Eon EN29LV400A IDs to JEDEC probe logic
     * Use %*ph where appropriate
 
 SPI NOR changes:
   Drivers:
     * Make fsl-quaspi assign different names to MTD devices connected
       to the same QSPI controller
     * Remove an unneeded driver.bus assigned in the fsl-qspi driver
 
 NAND changes:
   Core:
     * Prepare arrival of the SPI NAND subsystem by implementing a
       generic (interface-agnostic) layer to ease manipulation of NAND
       devices
     * Move onenand code base to the drivers/mtd/nand/ dir
     * Rework timing mode selection
     * Provide a generic way for NAND chip drivers to flag a specific
       GET/SET FEATURE operation as supported/unsupported
     * Stop embedding ONFI/JEDEC param page in nand_chip
 
   Drivers:
     * Rework/cleanup of the mxc driver
     * Various cleanups in the vf610 driver
     * Migrate the fsmc and vf610 to ->exec_op()
     * Get rid of the pxa driver (replaced by marvell_nand)
     * Support ->setup_data_interface() in the GPMI driver
     * Fix probe error path in several drivers
     * Remove support for unused hw_syndrome mode in sunxi_nand
     * Various minor improvements

README

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

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.
