I remember having said this somewhere, but it's not on lore for this
version. This touches Arm stuff, so I'd prefer an Ack from someone
before touching it.

Also: it looks like this missed e790a4ce5290 ("arm: docs: Move Arm
documentation to Documentation/arch/").

So I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be applying these patches, or whether
they will go through the arch trees?

In the former case, they don't apply to docs-next, so could I get a
respin please?

Thanks,

jon

Yes sure, I'll do that now. BTW  all the arch documentation was moved in
Documentation/arch/, but not the riscv, are you working on this or
should we?

Thanks,
