See the patches in the series. The reason for each particular case
is there on each patch, like on this one:

	[PATCH v3 13/16] docs: sound: kernel-api: writing-an-alsa-driver.rst: repl=
ace some characters

	The conversion tools used during DocBook/LaTeX/html/Markdown->ReST
	conversion and some cut-and-pasted text contain some characters that
	aren't easily reachable on standard keyboards and/or could cause
	troubles when parsed by the documentation build system.
	=20
	Replace the occurences of the following characters:
=09
		- U+00a0 ('=C2=A0'): NO-BREAK SPACE
		  as it can cause lines being truncated on PDF output
