Merge tag 'docs-4.5' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jon Corbet: "A relatively boring cycle in the docs tree. There's a few kernel-doc fixes and various document tweaks. One patch reaches out of the documentation subtree to fix a comment in init/do_mounts_rd.c. There didn't seem to be anybody more appropriate to take that one, so I accepted it" * tag 'docs-4.5' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (29 commits) thermal: add description for integral_cutoff unit Documentation: update libhugetlbfs site url Documentation: Explain pci=conf1,conf2 more verbosely DMA-API: fix confusing sentence in Documentation/DMA-API.txt Documentation: translations: update linux cross reference link Documentation: fix typo in CodingStyle init, Documentation: Remove ramdisk_blocksize mentions Documentation-getdelays: Apply a recommendation from "checkpatch.pl" in main() Documentation: HOWTO: update versions from 3.x to 4.x Documentation: remove outdated references from translations Doc: treewide: Fix grammar "a" to "an" Documentation: cpu-hotplug: Fix sysfs mount instructions can-doc: Add hint about getting timestamps Fix CFQ I/O scheduler parameter name in documentation Documentation: arm: remove dead links from Marvell Berlin docs Documentation: HOWTO: update code cross reference link Doc: Docbook/iio: Fix typo in iio.tmpl DocBook: make index.html generation less verbose by default DocBook: Cleanup: remove an unused $(call) line DocBook: Add a help message for DOCBOOKS env var ...
