Linus Torvalds ebf435d3b5 IIO / Staging driver update for 5.15-rc1
Here is the big set of staging and IIO driver updates for 5.15-rc1.
 Also included in here are the counter driver subsystem updates as the
 IIO drivers needed them.
 
 Lots of churn in some staging drivers, we dropped the "old" rtl8188eu
 driver and replaced it with a newer version of the driver that had been
 maintained out-of-tree by Larry with the end goal of actually being able
 to get this driver out of staging eventually.  Despite that driver being
 "newer" the line count of this pull request is going up.
 
 Some drivers moved out of staging as well, which is always nice to see,
 that is why there are additions to the mfc and misc driver subsystems.
 All of these were acked by the various subsystem maintainers involved.
 
 But by far, as normal, it's coding style cleanups all over the
 drivers/staging/ tree in here.
 
 Full details of these changes are in the shortlog.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
 problems.

[ Note: the r8188eu merge clashed with commit 89939e8906 ("staging:
  rtlwifi: use siocdevprivate") from the networking tree. When resolving
  the issue, I noted that the whole r8188eu rtw_android code is dead
  since commit ae7471cae0 ("staging: r8188eu: remove rtw_ioctl
  function").

  End result: the merge resolution was to throw all of that away,
  rather than do the mindless fixup to code that isn't actually
  reachable                                               - Linus ]

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.
