Javier Carrasco says: ==================== net: switch to scoped device_for_each_child_node() This series switches from the device_for_each_child_node() macro to its scoped variant. This makes the code more robust if new early exits are added to the loops, because there is no need for explicit calls to fwnode_handle_put(), which also simplifies existing code. The non-scoped macros to walk over nodes turn error-prone as soon as the loop contains early exits (break, goto, return), and patches to fix them show up regularly, sometimes due to new error paths in an existing loop [1]. Note that the child node is now declared in the macro, and therefore the explicit declaration is no longer required. The general functionality should not be affected by this modification. If functional changes are found, please report them back as errors.

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.
