Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: Preparations for line cards support Currently, mlxsw registers thermal zones as well as hwmon entries for objects such as transceiver modules and gearboxes. In upcoming modular systems, these objects are no longer found on the main board (i.e., slot 0), but on plug-able line cards. This patchset prepares mlxsw for such systems in terms of hwmon, thermal and cable access support. Patches #1-#3 gradually prepare mlxsw for transceiver modules access support for line cards by splitting some of the internal structures and some APIs. Patches #4-#5 gradually prepare mlxsw for hwmon support for line cards by splitting some of the internal structures and augmenting them with a slot index. Patches #6-#7 do the same for thermal zones. Patch #8 selects cooling device for binding to a thermal zone by exact name match to prevent binding to non-relevant devices. Patch #9 replaces internal define for thermal zone name length with a common define. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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 Restructured Text 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.
