usb: composite.h: fix two warnings when building docs
By definition, we use /* private: */ tag when we won't be documenting
a parameter. However, those two parameters are documented:
./include/linux/usb/composite.h:510: warning: Excess struct/union/enum/typedef member 'setup_pending' description in 'usb_composite_dev'
./include/linux/usb/composite.h:510: warning: Excess struct/union/enum/typedef member 'os_desc_pending' description in 'usb_composite_dev'
So, we need to use /* public: */ to avoid a warning.
The URB doc describes the Kernel mechanism that do USB transfers.
While the functions are already described at urb.h, there are a
number of concepts and theory that are important for USB driver
developers.
Convert it to ReST and use C ref links to point to the places
at usb.h where each function and struct is located.
A few of those descriptions were incomplete. While here, update
to reflect the current API status.
writing_musb_glue_layer.rst: Enrich its ReST representation
This file is actually quite complex, and required several
manual handwork:
- add a title for the document;
- use the right tags for monospaced fonts;
- use c references where needed;
- adjust cross-reference to writing_usb_driver.rst
- hightlight cross-referenced lines.
With regards to C code snippet line highlights, the better would be
to use :linenos: for the C code snippets that are referenced by
the line number. However, at least with Sphinx 1.4.9, enabling
it cause the line number to be misaligned with the code,
making it even more confusing. So, instead, let's use
:emphasize-lines: tag to mark the lines that are referenced
at the text.
writing_usb_driver.rst: Enrich its ReST representation
The pandoc conversion is not perfect. Do handwork in order to:
- add a title to this chapter;
- adjust function and struct references;
- use monospaced fonts for C code names;
- some other minor adjustments to make it better to read in
text mode and in html.
gadget.rst: Enrich its ReST representation and add kernel-doc tag
The pandoc conversion is not perfect. Do handwork in order to:
- add a title to this chapter;
- use the proper warning and note markups;
- use kernel-doc to include Kernel header and c files;
- remove legacy notes with regards to DocBook;
- some other minor adjustments to make it better to read in
text mode and in html.
- use the proper warning and note markups;
- add references for parts of the document that will be
cross-referenced on other USB docs;
- some minor adjustments to make it better to read in
text mode and in html.
Currently, the script just assumes to be called at
Documentation/sphinx/. Change it to work on any directory,
and make it abort if something gets wrong.
Also, be sure that both parameters are specified.
That should avoid troubles like this:

cpufreq: User/admin documentation update and consolidation

conains stale and/or inaccurate information along with things
that are not particularly useful. Also, some of the important
pieces are missing from it.
For this reason, add a new user/admin document for cpufreq

Pull sched.h split-up from Ingo Molnar:
"The point of these changes is to significantly reduce the
<linux/sched.h> header footprint, to speed up the kernel build and to
have a cleaner header structure.
After these changes the new <linux/sched.h>'s typical preprocessed
size goes down from a previous ~0.68 MB (~22K lines) to ~0.45 MB (~15K
lines), which is around 40% faster to build on typical configs.
Not much changed from the last version (-v2) posted three weeks ago: I
eliminated quirks, backmerged fixes plus I rebased it to an upstream
SHA1 from yesterday that includes most changes queued up in -next plus
all sched.h changes that were pending from Andrew.
I've re-tested the series both on x86 and on cross-arch defconfigs,
and did a bisectability test at a number of random points.
I tried to test as many build configurations as possible, but some
build breakage is probably still left - but it should be mostly
limited to architectures that have no cross-compiler binaries
available on kernel.org, and non-default configurations"

====================
nfp: RX and XDP buffer fixes
Two trivial fixes for code introduced with XDP support. First
one corrects the buffer size we populate a register with. The
register is designed to be used for scatter transfers which
the driver (and most FWs) don't support so it's not critical.
The other one for DMA direction is mostly cosmetic, DMA API
doesn't seem to care today about the precise direction in sync
calls.

nfp: don't tell FW about the reserved buffer space
Since commit c0f031bc8866 ("nfp_net: use alloc_frag() and build_skb()")
we are allocating buffers which have to hold both the data and skb to
be created in place by build_skb().
FW should only be told about the buffer space it can DMA to, that
is without the build_skb() headroom and tailroom. Note: firmware
applications should validate the buffers against both MTU and
free list buffer size so oversized packets would not pass through
the NIC anyway.
