Linus Torvalds a7726f6b61 platform-drivers-x86 for v4.17-1
Dell SMBIOS driver fixed against memory leaks.
 
 The fujitsu-laptop driver is cleaned up and now supports hotkeys for
 Lifebook U7x7 models. Besides that the typo introduced by one of
 previous clean up series has been fixed.
 
 Specific to x86-based laptops HID device now supports
 KEY_ROTATE_LOCK_TOGGLE event which is emitted, for example,
 by Wacom MobileStudio Pro 13.
 
 Turbo MAX 3 technology is enabled for the rest of platforms that support
 Hardware-P-States feature which have core priority described by
 ACPI CPPC table.
 
 Mellanox on x86 gets better support of I2C bus in use including support
 of hotpluggable ones.
 
 Silead touchscreen is enabled on two tablet models, i.e Yours Y8W81 and
 I.T.Works TW701.
 
 From now on the second fan on Thinkpad P50 is supported.
 
 The topstar-laptop driver is reworked to support new models, in
 particular Topstar U931.
 
 Some of the changes had been already applied during v4.16 cycle and thus
 have a duplication here:

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.
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.
