Here is the "big" set of driver core patches for 4.17-rc1. There's really not much here, just a bunch of firmware code refactoring from Luis as he attempts to wrangle that codebase into something that is managable, along with a bunch of userspace tests for it. Other than that, a handful of small bugfixes and reverts of things that didn't work out. Full details are in the shortlog, it's not all that much. All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues.

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.
