Linus Torvalds 167569343f ARM: SoC platform updates for 4.17
This release brings up a new platform based on the old ARM9 core: the
 Nuvoton NPCM is used as a baseboard management controller, competing
 with the better known ASpeed AST2xx series.
 
 Another important change is the addition of ARMv7-A based chips
 in mach-stm32. The older parts in this platform are ARMv7-M based
 microcontrollers, now they are expanding to general-purpose workloads.
 
 The other changes are the usual defconfig updates to enable additional
 drivers, lesser bugfixes. The largest updates as often are the ongoing
 OMAP cleanups, but we also have a number of changes for the older
 PXA and davinci platforms this time.
 
 For the Renesas shmobile/r-car platform, some new infrastructure
 is needed to make the watchdog work correctly.
 
 Supporting Multiprocessing on Allwinner A80 required a significant
 amount of new code, but is not doing anything unexpected.

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.
