Linus Torvalds 503f04530f fbdev changes for v4.14:
- make fbcon a built-time depency for fbdev (fbcon was tristate option
   before, now it is a bool) - this is a first step in preparations for
   making console_lock usage saner (currently it acts like the BKL for
   all things fbdev/fbcon) (Daniel Vetter)
 
 - add fbcon=margin:<color> command line option to select the fbcon margin
   color (David Lechner)
 
 - add DMI quirk table for x86 systems which need fbcon rotation (devices
   like Asus T100HA, GPD Pocket, the GPD win and the I.T.Works TW891)
   (Hans de Goede)
 
 - fix 1bpp logo support for unusual width (needed by LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3)
   (David Lechner)
 
 - enable Xilinx FB driver for ARM ZynqMP platform (Michal Simek)
 
 - fix use after free in the error path of udlfb driver (Anton Vasilyev)
 
 - fix error return code handling in pxa3xx_gcu driver (Gustavo A. R. Silva)
 
 - fix bootparams.screeninfo arguments checking in vgacon (Jan H. Schönherr)
 
 - do not leak uninitialized padding in clk to userspace in the debug code of
   atyfb driver (Vladis Dronov)
 
 - fix compiler warnings in fbcon code and matroxfb driver (Arnd Bergmann)
 
 - convert fbdev susbsytem to using %pOF instead of full_name (Rob Herring)
 
 - structures constifications (Arvind Yadav, Bhumika Goyal, Gustavo A. R.
   Silva, Julia Lawall)
 
 - misc cleanups (Gustavo A. R. Silva, Hyun Kwon, Julia Lawall, Kuninori
   Morimoto, Lynn Lei)

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
