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 reStructuredText 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.

Some ARM64 based laptops and computers require vendor/board specific drivers for their embedded controllers. Even though usually the most important functionality of those devices is implemented inside ACPI, unfortunately Linux doesn't currently have great support for ACPI on platforms like Qualcomm Snapdragon that are used in most ARM64 laptops today. Instead Linux relies on Device Tree for Qualcomm based devices and it's significantly easier to reimplement the EC functionality in a dedicated driver than to make use of ACPI code. This commit introduces a new platform/arm64 subdirectory to give a place to such drivers for EC-like devices. A new MAINTAINERS entry is added for this directory. Patches to files in this directory will be taken up by the platform-drivers-x86 team (i.e. Hans de Goede and Ilpo Järvinen) with additional review from Bryan O'Donoghue to represent ARM64 maintainers.
