Merge tag 'docs-4.16' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"Documentation updates for 4.16.
New stuff includes refcount_t documentation, errseq documentation,
kernel-doc support for nested structure definitions, the removal of
lots of crufty kernel-doc support for unused formats, SPDX tag
documentation, the beginnings of a manual for subsystem maintainers,
and lots of fixes and updates.
As usual, some of the changesets reach outside of Documentation/ to
effect kerneldoc comment fixes. It also adds the new LICENSES
directory, of which Thomas promises I do not need to be the
maintainer"
