Linus Torvalds 42bff4d0f9 pwm: Changes for v6.8-rc1
This contains a bunch of cleanups and simplifications across the board,
 as well as a number of small fixes.
 
 Perhaps the most notable change here is the addition of an API that
 allows PWMs to be used in atomic contexts, which is useful when time-
 critical operations are involved, such as using a PWM to generate IR
 signals.
 
 Finally, I have decided to step down as PWM subsystem maintainer. Due to
 other responsibilities I have lately not been able to find the time that
 the subsystem deserves and Uwe, who has been helping out a lot for the
 past few years and has many things planned for the future, has kindly
 volunteered to take over. I have no doubt that he will be a suitable
 replacement.

README

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.
