MTD core changes:
- New AFS partition parser
- Update MAINTAINERS entry
- Use of fall-throughs markers
NAND core changes:
- Support having the bad block markers in either the first, second or
last page of a block. The combination of all three location is now
possible.
- Constification of NAND_OP_PARSER(_PATTERN) elements.
- Generic NAND DT bindings changed to yaml format (can be used to
check the proposed bindings. First platform to be fully supported:
sunxi.
- Stopped using several legacy hooks.
- Preparation to use the generic NAND layer with the addition of
several helpers and the removal of the struct nand_chip from generic
functions.
- Kconfig cleanup to prepare the introduction of external ECC engines
support.
- Fallthrough comments.
- Introduction of the SPI-mem dirmap API for SPI-NAND devices.
Raw NAND controller drivers changes:
- nandsim:
* Switch to ->exec-op().
- meson:
* Misc cleanups and fixes.
* New OOB layout.
- Sunxi:
* A23/A33 NAND DMA support.
- Ingenic:
* Full reorganization and cleanup.
* Clear separation between NAND controller and ECC engine.
* Support JZ4740 an JZ4725B.
- Denali:
* Clear controller/chip separation.
* ->exec_op() migration.
* Various cleanups.
- fsl_elbc:
* Enable software ECC support.
- Atmel:
* Sam9x60 support.
- GPMI:
* Introduce the GPMI_IS_MXS() macro.
- Various trivial/spelling/coding style fixes.
SPI NOR core changes:
- Print all JEDEC ID bytes on error
- Fix comment of spi_nor_find_best_erase_type()
- Add region locking flags for s25fl512s
SPI NOR controller drivers changes:
- intel-spi:
* Avoid crossing 4K address boundary on read/write
* Add support for Intel Comet Lake SPI serial flash

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.
