Linus Torvalds d69eb204c2 Including fixes from netfilter, wireless and Bluetooth.
We're reverting the removal of a Sundance driver, a user has appeared.
 This makes the PR rather large in terms of LoC.
 
 There's a conspicuous absence of real, user-reported 6.17 issues.
 Slightly worried that the summer distracted people from testing.

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.
