- Two batchs of cleanups of the NAND API, including:
* Deprecating a lot of interfaces (now replaced by ->exec_op()).
* Moving code in separate drivers (JEDEC, ONFI), in private files
(internals), in platform drivers, etc.
* Functions/structures reordering.
* Exclusive use of the nand_chip structure instead of the MTD one
all across the subsystem.
- Addition of the nand_wait_readrdy/rdy_op() helpers.
Raw NAND controllers drivers changes:
- Various coccinelle patches.
- Marvell:
* Use regmap_update_bits() for syscon access.
* More documentation.
* BCH failure path rework.
* More layouts to be supported.
* IRQ handler complete() condition fixed.
- Fsl_ifc:
* SRAM initialization fixed for newer controller versions.
- Denali:
* Fix licenses mismatch and use a SPDX tag.
* Set SPARE_AREA_SKIP_BYTES register to 8 if unset.
- Qualcomm:
* Do not include dma-direct.h.
- Docg4:
* Removed.
- Ams-delta:
* Use of a GPIO lookup table
* Internal machinery changes.
Raw NAND chip drivers changes:
- Toshiba:
* Add support for Toshiba memory BENAND
* Pass a single nand_chip object to the status helper.
- ESMT:
* New driver to retrieve the ECC requirements from the 5th ID byte.

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.
