Linux kernel source tree
b31cc6af1b
Document two rules already widely used and enforced by DT maintainers and SoC platform maintainers: 1. DTS patches should be placed at the end of driver patchset to indicate no dependencies of driver code on DTS. 2. DTS patches should be applied via SoC platform maintainers, because it is a driver-independent hardware description. However some driver maintainers are reluctant to pick up portions of patchsets and prefer to take entire set at once. For such cases, the DTS portion should be split into separate patchset, so it will not end up in the driver subsystem integration tree.

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.
