convertion printk() to pr_xxx() and removal of an unused module parameter. Some small bug fixes and enhancements. This also adds a post softdep from the IPMI core module to the IPMI device interface. Many people have complained that the device interface isn't automatically avaiable when IPMI is loaded. I don't want to make the device interface mandatory, though, plenty of people use IPMI internally (like with ACPI) and don't need a device interface or the added possible security entry. A softdep should make it work "out of the box" but allow people to not have it if they don't want it. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iEYEABECAAYFAlhSE9cACgkQIXnXXONXERe6iACgsiU5/LG4tbKu9EyZXp5isRw6 AdsAn1dT08aobOzJhFI3dVx6oTnJQDDC =ifi5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'for-linus-4.10' of git://git.code.sf.net/p/openipmi/linux-ipmi Pull IPMI updates from Corey Minyard: "Various small fixes for IPMI.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
