Linus Torvalds 5b9b41617b Another moderately busy cycle for documentation, including:
- The minimum Sphinx requirement has been raised to 2.4.4, following a
   warning that was added in 6.2.
 
 - Some reworking of the Documentation/process front page to, hopefully,
   make it more useful.
 
 - Various kernel-doc tweaks to, for example, make it deal properly with
   __counted_by annotations.
 
 - We have also restored a warning for documentation of nonexistent
   structure members that disappeared a while back.  That had the delightful
   consequence of adding some 600 warnings to the docs build.  A sustained
   effort by Randy, Vegard, and myself has addressed almost all of those,
   bringing the documentation back into sync with the code.  The fixes are
   going through the appropriate maintainer trees.
 
 - Various improvements to the HTML rendered docs, including automatic links
   to Git revisions and a nice new pulldown to make translations easy to
   access.
 
 - Speaking of translations, more of those for Spanish and Chinese.
 
 ...plus the usual stream of documentation updates and typo fixes.

Driver implementer's API guide

The kernel offers a wide variety of interfaces to support the development
of device drivers. This document is an only somewhat organized collection
of some of those interfaces — it will hopefully get better over time! The
available subsections can be seen below.
