2017-04-11usb/anchors.txt: convert to ReST and add to driver-api bookMauro Carvalho Chehab2-16/+21
This document describe some USB core functions. Add it to the driver-api book. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2017-04-11writing_musb_glue_layer.rst: Enrich its ReST representationMauro Carvalho Chehab1-315/+301
This file is actually quite complex, and required several manual handwork: - add a title for the document; - use the right tags for monospaced fonts; - use c references where needed; - adjust cross-reference to writing_usb_driver.rst - hightlight cross-referenced lines. With regards to C code snippet line highlights, the better would be to use :linenos: for the C code snippets that are referenced by the line number. However, at least with Sphinx 1.4.9, enabling it cause the line number to be misaligned with the code, making it even more confusing. So, instead, let's use :emphasize-lines: tag to mark the lines that are referenced at the text.

2017-04-11writing_usb_driver.rst: Enrich its ReST representationMauro Carvalho Chehab1-100/+82
The pandoc conversion is not perfect. Do handwork in order to: - add a title to this chapter; - adjust function and struct references; - use monospaced fonts for C code names; - some other minor adjustments to make it better to read in text mode and in html.

2017-04-11gadget.rst: Enrich its ReST representation and add kernel-doc tagMauro Carvalho Chehab1-75/+52
The pandoc conversion is not perfect.

2017-04-11docs-rst: convert usb docbooks to ReSTMauro Carvalho Chehab10-2170/+1722
As we're moving out of DocBook, let's convert the remaining USB docbooks to ReST. The transformation itself on this patch is a no-brainer conversion using pandoc via this script: Documentation/sphinx/tmplcvt Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2017-04-11driver-api/basics.rst: add device table headerMauro Carvalho Chehab1-0/+6

2017-04-11tmplcvt: make the tool more robustMauro Carvalho Chehab1-2/+11
Currently, the script just assumes to be called at Documentation/sphinx/. Change it to work on any directory, and make it abort if something gets wrong. Also, be sure that both parameters are specified. That should avoid troubles like this: $ Documentation/sphinx/tmplcvt Documentation/DocBook/writing_usb_driver.tmpl sed: couldn't open file convert_template.sed: No such file or directory Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

2017-04-08Documentation: stable-kernel-rules: fix stable-tag formatJohan Hovold1-1/+1
A patch documenting how to specify which kernels a particular fix should be backported to (seemingly) inadvertently added a minus sign after the kernel version. This particular stable-tag format had never been used prior to this patch, and was neither present when the patch in question was first submitted (it was added in v2 without any comment). Drop the minus sign to avoid any confusion. Fixes: fdc81b7910ad ("stable_kernel_rules: Add clause about specification of kernel versions to patch.")

2017-03-13cpufreq: User/admin documentation update and consolidationRafael J. Wysocki7-629/+716
The user/admin documentation of cpufreq is badly outdated. It conains stale and/or inaccurate information along with things that are not particularly useful. Also, some of the important pieces are missing from it. For this reason, add a new user/admin document for cpufreq containing current information to admin-guide and drop the old outdated .txt documents it is replacing. Since there will be more PM documents in admin-guide going forward, create a separate directory for them and put the cpufreq document in there right away. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
