Linus Torvalds ea1c6c5925 spi: Updates for v6.18
There's one big core change in this release, Jonas Gorski has addressed
 the issues with multiple chip selects which makes things more robust and
 stable.  Otherwise there's quite a bit of driver work, as well as some
 new drivers several existing drivers have had quite a bit of work done
 on them.
 
 Possibly the most interesting thing is the VirtIO driver, this is
 apparently useful for some automotive applications which want to keep as
 small and robust a host system as they can, moving less critical
 functionality into guests.
 
  - James Clark has done some substantial updates on the Freescale DSPI
    driver, porting in code from the BSP and building onm top of that to
    fix some bugs and increase performance.
  - Jonas Gorski has fixed the issues with handling multple chip selects,
    making things more robust and scalable.
  - Support for higher performance modes in the NXP FSPI driver from
    Haibo Chen.
  - Removal of the obsolete S3C2443 driver, the underlying SoC support
    has been removed from the kernel.
  - Support for Amlogic AL113L2, Atmel SAMA7D65 and SAM9x7 and for VirtIO
    controllers.

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.
