Linus Torvalds 44b1671fae Driver core update for 4.14-rc1
Here is the "big" driver core update for 4.14-rc1.
 
 It's really not all that big, the largest thing here being some firmware
 tests to help ensure that that crazy api is working properly.
 
 There's also a new uevent for when a driver is bound or unbound from a
 device, fixing a hole in the driver model that's been there since the
 very beginning.  Many thanks to Dmitry for being persistent and pointing
 out how wrong I was about this all along :)
 
 Patches for the new uevents are already in the systemd tree, if people
 want to play around with them.
 
 Otherwise just a number of other small api changes and updates here,
 nothing major.  All of these patches have been in linux-next for a
 while with no reported issues.

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.
