Linus Torvalds 0dfaeb618f platform-drivers-x86 for v4.13-1
Introduce new bus architecture for WMI and expose BMOF data through
 sysfs. Correct several assumptions about WMI instance number from 1 to
 0. Further fujitsu-laptop cleanups, continuing to prepare for separation
 into two modules. Add support for several new ideapad laptops and
 silead-based tablets. Various minor fixes and const cleanups.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
