Linus Torvalds f07c3695bf firewire updates for v6.18
This update includes the following changes:
 
 - Removal of the deprecated debug parameter from firewire-ohci module
 - Replacement of the module-local workqueue in 1394 OHCI PCI driver with
   a companion IRQ thread
 - Refactoring of bus management code
 - Additional minor code cleanup
 
 The existing tracepoints serve as an alternative to the removed debug
 parameter. The use of IRQ thread is experimental, as it handles 1394 OHCI
 SelfIDComplete event only. It may be replaced in the future releases with
 another approach; e.g. by providing workqueue from core functionality

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.
