Linus Torvalds c30b5b8cfb Staging driver fixes for 5.17-rc8
Here are 3 small fixes for staging drivers for 5.17-rc8 or -final, which
 ever comes next.
 
 They resolve some reported problems:
 	- rtl8723bs wifi driver deadlock fix for reported problem that
 	  is a revert of a previous patch.  Also a documentation fix is
 	  added so that the same problem hopefully can not come back
 	  again.
 	- gdm724x driver use-after-free fix for a reported problem.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
 problems.

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.
