Alex Elder says: ==================== net: ipa: prepare for GSI register updtaes An upcoming series (or two) will convert the definitions of GSI registers used by IPA so they use the "IPA reg" mechanism to specify register offsets and their fields. This will simplify implementing the fairly large number of changes required in GSI registers to support more than 32 GSI channels (introduced in IPA v5.0). A few minor problems and inconsistencies were found, and they're fixed here. The last three patches in this series change the "ipa_reg" code to separate the IPA-specific part (the base virtual address, basically) from the generic register part, and the now- generic code is renamed to use just "reg_" or "REG_" as a prefix rather than "ipa_reg" or "IPA_REG_". ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
