* Raw NAND changes A new controller driver, from Nuvoton, has been merged. Bastien Curutchet has contributed a series improving the Davinci controller driver, both on the organization of the code, but also on the performance side. The binding has also been converted to yaml, received a new OOB layout and now supports on-die ECC engines. The Qualcomm controller driver has been deeply cleaned to extract some parts of the code into a shared file with the Qualcomm SPI memory controller. Aside from these main changes, the Cadence binding has been converted to yaml, the brcmnand controller driver has received a small fix, otherwise some more minor changes have also made their way in. * SPI NAND changes The SPI NAND subsystem has seen a great improvement, with the advent of DTR operations (DDR operations, which may be extended to the address cycles). The first vendor driver to benefit from these improvements is the Winbond driver. A new manufacturer driver is added SkyHigh, with a new constraint for the core, it is impossible to disable the on-die ECC engine. A Foresee device is also now supported.
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.
