Linus Torvalds e255759e5a Char/Misc driver fixes for 5.17-rc2
Here are two small char/misc driver fixes for 5.17-rc2 that fix some
 reported issues.  They include:
 	- fix up a merge issue in the at25.c driver that ended up
 	  dropping some lines in the driver.  The removed lines ended
 	  being needed, so this restores it and the driver works again.
 	- counter core fix where the wrong error was being returned,
 	  NULL should be the correct error for when memory is gone here,
 	  like the kmalloc() core does.
 
 Both of these have been in linux-next this week with no reported issues.

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.
