David S. Miller bb60b8b35a For 4.11, we seem to have more than in the past few releases:
* socket owner support for connections, so when the wifi
    manager (e.g. wpa_supplicant) is killed, connections are
    torn down - wpa_supplicant is critical to managing certain
    operations, and can opt in to this where applicable
  * minstrel & minstrel_ht updates to be more efficient (time and space)
  * set wifi_acked/wifi_acked_valid for skb->destructor use in the
    kernel, which was already available to userspace
  * don't indicate new mesh peers that might be used if there's no
    room to add them
  * multicast-to-unicast support in mac80211, for better medium usage
    (since unicast frames can use *much* higher rates, by ~3 orders of
    magnitude)
  * add API to read channel (frequency) limitations from DT
  * add infrastructure to allow randomizing public action frames for
    MAC address privacy (still requires driver support)
  * many cleanups and small improvements/fixes across the board

Rafael J. Wysocki 6e092c8c04 PM / docs: Drop confusing kernel-doc references from infrastructure.rst
The references to drivers/base/power/main.c and
drivers/acpi/scan.c from Documentation/driver-api/infrastructure.rst
are confusing.  They both cause descriptions of functions that are
not relevant to device drivers at all to be generated and none of
them is sufficient to cover the API in a meaningful way.

Drop them for now.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 6634fbb6b6 driver-api: create an edac.rst file with EDAC documentation
Currently, there's no device driver documentation for the EDAC
subsystem at the driver-api book. Fill in the blanks for the
structures and functions that misses documentation, uniform
the word on the existing ones, and add a new edac.rst file at
driver-api, in order to document the EDAC subsystem.

Daniel Vetter 868c97a846 dma-buf: Extract dma-buf.rst
Just prep work to polish and consolidate all the dma-buf related
documenation.

Unfortunately I didn't discover a way to both integrate this new file
into the overall toc while keeping it at the current place. Work
around that by moving it into the overall driver-api/index.rst.
