Dave Airlie 6f17ab9a63 DRM Rust changes for v6.18
Alloc
   - Add BorrowedPage type and AsPageIter trait
   - Implement Vmalloc::to_page() and VmallocPageIter
   - Implement AsPageIter for VBox and VVec
 
 DMA & Scatterlist
   - Add dma::DataDirection and type alias for dma_addr_t
   - Abstraction for struct scatterlist and struct sg_table
 
 DRM
   - In the DRM GEM module, simplify overall use of generics, add
     DriverFile type alias and drop Object::SIZE.
 
 Nova (Core)
   - Various register!() macro improvements (paving the way for lifting
     it to common driver infrastructure)
   - Minor VBios fixes and refactoring
   - Minor firmware request refactoring
   - Advance firmware boot stages; process Booter and patch its
     signature, process GSP and GSP bootloader
   - Switch development fimrware version to r570.144
   - Add basic firmware bindings for r570.144
   - Move GSP boot code to its own module
   - Clean up and take advantage of pin-init features to store most of
     the driver's private data within a single allocation
   - Update ARef import from sync::aref
   - Add website to MAINTAINERS entry
 
 Nova (DRM)
   - Update ARef import from sync::aref
   - Add website to MAINTAINERS entry
 
 Pin-Init
   - Merge pin-init PR from Benno
     - `#[pin_data]` now generates a `*Projection` struct similar to the
       `pin-project` crate.
 
     - Add initializer code blocks to `[try_][pin_]init!` macros: make
       initializer macros accept any number of `_: {/* arbitrary code
       */},` & make them run the code at that point.
 
     - Make the `[try_][pin_]init!` macros expose initialized fields via
       a `let` binding as `&mut T` or `Pin<&mut T>` for later fields.
 
 Rust
   - Various methods for AsBytes and FromBytes traits
 
 Tyr
   - Initial Rust driver skeleton for ARM Mali GPUs.
     - It can power up the GPU, query for GPU metatdata through MMIO and
       provide the metadata to userspace via DRM device IOCTL (struct
       drm_panthor_dev_query).

README

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.
