Merge series from Cezary Rojewski <cezary.rojewski@intel.com>: Set of patches that brings no new functionality but makes it easier to maintain and read the avs-driver code. There is one 'fix' among them - the third patch, described below. First, debug-related code - mainly the data-probing feature - is mixed with non-debug PCM code. Separate it into debug.h and update the pcm.c file. Next, as the probing-board is not tied to any topology file, it shall not using struct avs_soc_component descriptor but the basic struct snd_soc_component one. While on the first sight this is just bump in LOCs, runtime is simplified as no topology checks and related code will be engaged. With probing-board addressed and debug code relocated: - address the component-teardown issues when the componet->name points to a string which is shared by multiple components and/or machine boards. devm_kstrdup() makes this go away. - streamline the naming scheme for the functions engaged in the components registration. This is purely a readability improvement.
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.
