Linus Torvalds 72d657dd21 Driver core fixes for 5.0-rc2
Here is one small sysfs change, and a documentation update for 5.0-rc2
 
 The sysfs change moves from using BUG_ON to WARN_ON, as discussed in an
 email thread on lkml while trying to track down another driver bug.
 sysfs should not be crashing and preventing people from seeing where
 they went wrong.  Now it properly recovers and warns the developer.
 
 The documentation update removes the use of BUS_ATTR() as the kernel is
 moving away from this to use the specific BUS_ATTR_RW() and friends
 instead.  There are pending patches in all of the different subsystems
 to remove the last users of this macro, but for now, don't advertise it
 should be used anymore to keep new ones from being introduced.
 
 Both have been in linux-next with no reported issues.

README

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.

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.
