zero-key.
- Miscellaneous small fixes for out-of-bound accesses, cleanup after
initialization failures, and missing debug messages.

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
"I debated holding this back for the v5.2 merge window due to the size
of the "zero-key" changes, but affected users would benefit from
having the fixes sooner. It did not make sense to change the zero-key
semantic in isolation for the "secure-erase" command, but instead
include it for all security commands.
The short background on the need for these changes is that some NVDIMM
platforms enable security with a default zero-key rather than let the
OS specify the initial key. This makes the security enabling that
landed in v5.0 unusable for some users.
Summary:
- Compatibility fix for nvdimm-security implementations with a
default zero-key.
- Miscellaneous small fixes for out-of-bound accesses, cleanup after
initialization failures, and missing debug messages"

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.
