Linus Torvalds a525df0558 powerpc fixes for 4.16 #5
One notable fix to properly advertise our support for a new firmware feature,
 caused by two series conflicting semantically but not textually.
 
 There's a new ioctl for the new ocxl driver, which is not a fix, but needed to
 complete the userspace API and good to have before the driver is in a released
 kernel.
 
 Finally three minor selftest fixes, and a fix for intermittent build failures
 for some obscure platforms, caused by a missing make dependency.
 
 Thanks to:
   Alastair D'Silva, Bharata B Rao, Guenter Roeck.

README

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.
