Linus Torvalds ee3748be5c Driver core fixes for 4.17-rc3
Here are some small driver core and firmware fixes for 4.17-rc3
 
 There's a kobject WARN() removal to make syzkaller a lot happier about
 some "normal" error paths that it keeps hitting, which should reduce the
 number of false-positives we have been getting recently.
 
 There's also some fimware test and documentation fixes, and the
 coredump() function signature change that needed to happen after -rc1
 before drivers started to take advantage of it.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next with no reported issues.

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.
