2728b2d2e5 PM / core / docs: Convert sleep states API document to reST
Move the document describing the system sleep state transitions API
for devices to Documentation/driver-api/pm/, convert it to reST and
update it to use current terminology.  Also remove the remaining
reference to the old version of it from pm.h.

The new document still contains references to some documents in the
.txt format that will be converted later.

028f25332c docs: Convert the regulator docbook to RST
A fairly straightforward conversion to RST; the document is then added to
the driver-api manual.

Of course, this document has seen no substantive changes since 2008, so
chances are it needs work in other areas as well.

8a8a602fdb docs: Convert the deviceio template to RST
Convert deviceiobook.tmpl to RST and incorporate it into the driver API
manual.

Like the rest of our documentation, this one could use some work.  There's
no mention of ioremap() and friends, no mention of io_read*() and friends.
But we have nice documentation for all those folks writing new drivers that
do port I/O :).

The :c:func: notation has been left off of all the read*/write* functions.
There's no kerneldoc comments for them anyway, so those links will never be
live, and writing a bunch of repetitive "read a byte from I/O memory"
comments lacks appeal.

113ccc3837 firmware: revamp firmware documentation
Understanding this code is getting out of control without any
notes. Give the firmware_class driver a much needed documentation love,
and while at it convert it to the new sphinx documentation format.

v2: typos and small fixes

49b2fd6ea6 docs: IIO documentation sphinx conversion
This is a manual conversion of the existing DocBook documentation
for IIO.  The intent is not to substantially change any of the
content in this patch, but to give a base to build upon.

6634fbb6b6 driver-api: create an edac.rst file with EDAC documentation
Currently, there's no device driver documentation for the EDAC
subsystem at the driver-api book. Fill in the blanks for the
structures and functions that misses documentation, uniform
the word on the existing ones, and add a new edac.rst file at
driver-api, in order to document the EDAC subsystem.

868c97a846 dma-buf: Extract dma-buf.rst
Just prep work to polish and consolidate all the dma-buf related
documenation.

Unfortunately I didn't discover a way to both integrate this new file
into the overall toc while keeping it at the current place. Work
around that by moving it into the overall driver-api/index.rst.

5e99578685 docs: split up serial-interfaces.rst
It never made sense to keep these documents together; move each into its
own file.

Drop the section numbering on hsi.txt on its way to its own file.

dcec3c8c9a docs: split up the driver book
We don't need to keep it as a single large file anymore; split it up so
that it is easier to manage and the individual sections can be read
directly as plain files.
