Convert the vendor prefix registry to a schema. This will enable checking that new vendor prefixes are added (in addition to the less than perfect checkpatch.pl check) and will also check against adding other prefixes which are not vendors. Converted vendor-prefixes.txt using the following sed script: sed -e 's/\([a-zA-Z0-9\-]*\)[[:space:]]*\([a-zA-Z0-9].*\)/ "^\1,\.\*\":\n description: \2/' Signed-off-by: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org>
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.
