Merge tag 'docs-4.17' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"There's been a fair amount of activity in Documentation/ this time
around:
- Lots of work aligning Documentation/ABI with reality, done by
Aishwarya Pant.
- The trace documentation has been converted to RST by Changbin Du
- I thrashed up kernel-doc to deal with a parsing issue and to try to
make the code more readable. It's still a 20+-year-old Perl hack,
though.
- Lots of other updates, typo fixes, and more"
