Linus Torvalds 443d11297b Driver core fixes for 5.11-rc5
Here are some small driver core fixes for 5.11-rc5 that resolve some
 reported problems:
 	- revert of a -rc1 patch that was causing problems with some
 	  machines
 	- device link device name collision problem fix (busses only
 	  have to name devices unique to their bus, not unique to all
 	  busses)
 	- kernfs splice bugfixes to resolve firmware loading problems
 	  for Qualcomm systems.
 	- other tiny driver core fixes for minor issues reported.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next with no reported problems.

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.

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.
