Instead of manually calling ynl_gen_rst.py, use a Sphinx extension. This way, no .rst files would be written to the Kernel source directories. We are using here a toctree with :glob: property. This way, there is no need to touch the netlink/specs/index.rst file every time a new Netlink spec is added/renamed/removed.

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.
