The ipmb file was added twice at index.rst. That
sounds to be because the same patch was applied twice,
via different git trees:
commit f6ae22d64433fd8e08654adad7966299da931bb9

docs: ipmb: place it at driver-api and convert to ReST
commit ac499fba98c3c65078fd84fa0a62cd6f6d5837ed
Author: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
Commit: Corey Minyard <cminyard@mvista.com>
docs: ipmb: place it at driver-api and convert to ReST
With Sphinx 4.0.0 development tree, a new warning is produced
due to that:
.../Documentation/driver-api/index.rst:14: WARNING: duplicated entry found in toctree: driver-api/ipmb
The fix is trivial: just drop the duplicated line.

The sound API is documented on two different parts:
under Documentation/driver-api/sound.rst and under
Documentation/sound/kernel-api/alsa-driver-api.rst.
The alsa-driver-api.rst seems more complete, and APIs
are split per type. There's just one missing kernel-doc
markup there.
Add it and drop the duplicated one.

The pldmfw library is used to implement common logic needed to flash
devices based on firmware files using the format described by the PLDM
for Firmware Update standard.
This library consists of logic to parse the PLDM file format from
a firmware file object, as well as common logic for sending the relevant
PLDM header data to the device firmware.
A simple ops table is provided so that device drivers can implement
device specific hardware interactions while keeping the common logic to
the pldmfw library.
This library will be used by the Intel ice networking driver as part of
implementing device flash update via devlink. The library aims to be
vendor and device agnostic. For this reason, it has been placed in
lib/pldmfw, in the hopes that other devices which use the PLDM firmware
file format may benefit from it in the future. However, do note that not
all features defined in the PLDM standard have been implemented.

Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
- Media documentation is now split into admin-guide, driver-api and
userspace-api books (a longstanding request from Jon);
- The media Kconfig was reorganized, in order to make easier to select
drivers and their dependencies;
- The testing drivers now has a separate directory;
- added a new driver for Rockchip Video Decoder IP;
- The atomisp staging driver was resurrected. It is meant to work with
4 generations of cameras on Atom-based laptops, tablets and cell
phones. So, it seems worth investing time to cleanup this driver and
making it in good shape.
- Added some V4L2 core ancillary routines to help with h264 codecs;
- Added an ov2740 image sensor driver;
- The si2157 gained support for Analog TV, which, in turn, added
support for some cx231xx and cx23885 boards to also support analog
standards;
- Added some V4L2 controls (V4L2_CID_CAMERA_ORIENTATION and
V4L2_CID_CAMERA_SENSOR_ROTATION) to help identifying where the camera
is located at the device;
- VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT was extended to support MC-centric devices;
- Lots of drivers improvements and cleanups.

particular).

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
"This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v5.5 kernel cycle
Core changes:
- Expose pull up/down flags for the GPIO character device to
userspace.
After clear input from the RaspberryPi and Beagle communities, it
has been established that prototyping, industrial automation and
make communities strongly need this feature, and as we want people
to use the character device, we have implemented the simple pull
up/down interface for GPIO lines.
This means we can specify that a (chip-specific) pull up/down
resistor can be enabled, but does not offer fine-grained control
such as cases where the resistance of the same pull resistor can be
controlled (yet).
- Introduce devm_fwnode_gpiod_get_index() and start to phase out the
old symbol devm_fwnode_get_index_gpiod_from_child().
- A bit of documentation clean-up work.
- Introduce a define for GPIO line directions and deploy it in all
GPIO drivers in the drivers/gpio directory.
- Add a special callback to populate pin ranges when cooperating with
the pin control subsystem and registering ranges as part of adding
a gpiolib driver and a gpio_irq_chip driver at the same time. This
is also deployed in the Intel Merrifield driver.
New drivers:
- RDA Micro GPIO controller.
- XGS-iproc GPIO driver.
Driver improvements:
- Wake event and debounce support on the Tegra 186 driver.
- Finalize the Aspeed SGPIO driver.
- MPC8xxx uses a normal IRQ handler rather than a chained handler"

This is actually a subsystem description, with contains both
kAPI and uAPI.
While it should ideally be slplit, let's place it at driver-api,
as most things are related to kAPI and driver-specific info.

Pull IPMI updates from Corey Minyard:
"Some small fixes for various things, nothing huge, mostly found by
automated tools.
Plus add a driver that allows Linux to act as an IPMB slave device, so
it can be a satellite MC in an IPMI network"
* tag 'for-linus-5.3' of git://github.com/cminyard/linux-ipmi:
docs: ipmb: place it at driver-api and convert to ReST
fix platform_no_drv_owner.cocci warnings
ipmi: ipmb: don't allocate i2c_client on stack
ipmi: ipmb: Fix build error while CONFIG_I2C is set to m
Add support for IPMB driver
drivers: ipmi: Drop device reference
ipmi_ssif: fix unexpected driver unregister warning
ipmi_si: use bool type for initialized variable
ipmi_si: fix unexpected driver unregister warning

No new doc should be added at the main Documentation/ directory.
Instead, new docs should be added as ReST files, within the
Kernel documentation body.

Pull staging / IIO driver updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big staging and iio driver update for 5.2-rc1.
Lots of tiny fixes all over the staging and IIO driver trees here,
along with some new IIO drivers.
The "counter" subsystem was added in here as well, as it is needed by
the IIO drivers and subsystem.
Also we ended up deleting two drivers, making this pull request remove
a few hundred thousand lines of code, always a nice thing to see. Both
of the drivers removed have been replaced with "real" drivers in their
various subsystem directories, and they will be coming to you from
those locations during this merge window.
There are some core vt/selection changes in here, that was due to some
cleanups needed for the speakup fixes. Those have all been acked by
the various subsystem maintainers (i.e. me), so those are ok.
We also added a few new drivers, for some odd hardware, giving new
developers plenty to work on with basic coding style cleanups to come
in the near future.
Other than that, nothing unusual here.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues, other than an odd gcc warning for one of the new drivers that
should be fixed up soon"
[ I fixed up the warning myself - Linus ]

While typing these I think doing an s/component_master/aggregate/
would be useful:
- it's shorter :-)
- I think component/aggregate is much more meaningful naming than
component/puppetmaster or something like that. At least to my
English ear "aggregate" emphasizes much more the "assemble a pile of
things into something bigger" aspect, and there's not really much
of a control hierarchy between aggregate and constituing components.
But that's way more than a quick doc typing exercise ...
Thanks to Ram for commenting on an initial draft of these docs.
v2: Review from Rafael:
- git add Documenation/driver-api/component.rst
- lots of polish to the wording + spelling fixes.
v3: Review from Russell:
- s/framework/helper
- clarify the documentation for component_match_add functions.
v4: Remove a few superflous "This".
