Linus Torvalds 039cd25f18 A couple of bug fixes and a bunch of code cleanup:
* Fix a use after free error in a certain error situation.
   * Fix some flag handling issues in the SSIF (I2C) IPMI driver.
   * A bunch of cleanups, spacing issues, converting pr_xxx to dev_xxx,
     use standard UUID handling, and some other minor stuff.
   * The IPMI code was creating a platform device if none was supplied.
     Instead of doing that, have every source that creates an IPMI
     device supply a device struct.  This fixes several issues,including
     a crash in one situation, and cleans things up a bit.

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.
