Pull firmware removal from Greg KH: "Many many years ago (at the kernel summit in Boston), we all came to the agreement that the firmware/ tree should be dropped from the kernel, and everyone use the linux-firmware package instead. For some minor reason, David Woodhouse didn't send the pull request at that point in time, and everyone forgot about this. The topic came up in the hallway track at the Plumbers conference this week, so here's a single patch that drops the whole firmware tree. The last firmware update was back in 2013, and all distros have been using linux-firmware instead since at least that year, if not before. The only commits to that directory since 2013 was some kbuild fixups for various build tool issues. So lets finally drop this, we don't need to lug them around in the kernel source tree anymore, especially as no one wants or uses them. This has passed build testing with 0-day, I don't think it made it into linux-next this week, but I figured it was good to get in before 4.14-rc1 was out" * tag 'firmware_removal-4.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: firmware: delete in-kernel firmware
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
