The contents of leds driver docs is messy: it has lots of
admin-guide stuff and kernel internal ones, just like other
driver subsystems.
I'm opting to keep the dir at the same place and just add
a link to it. This makes clearer that this require changes.

While I was tempted to move it to admin-guide, as some docs
there are more userspace-faced, there are some very technical
discussions about memory error correction code from the Kernel
implementer's PoV. So, let's place it inside the driver-api
book.

Rename the iio documentation files to ReST, add an
index for them and adjust in order to produce a nice html
output via the Sphinx build system.
The cdrom.txt and hdio.txt have their own particular syntax.
In order to speedup the conversion, I used a small ancillary
perl script:
my $d;
$d .= $_ while(<>);
$d =~ s/(\nCDROM\S+)\s+(\w[^\n]*)/$1\n\t$2\n/g;
$d =~ s/(\nHDIO\S+)\s+(\w[^\n]*)/$1\n\t$2\n/g;
$d =~ s/(\n\s*usage:)[\s\n]*(\w[^\n]*)/$1:\n\n\t $2\n/g;
$d =~ s/(\n\s*)(E\w+[\s\n]*\w[^\n]*)/$1- $2/g;
$d =~ s/(\n\s*)(inputs|outputs|notes):\s*(\w[^\n]*)/$1$2:\n\t\t$3\n/g;
print $d;
It basically add blank lines on a few interesting places. The
script is not perfect: still several things require manual work,
but it saved quite some time doing some obvious stuff.

The conversion itself is simple: add a markup for the
title of this file and add markups for both tables.
Yet, the big table here with IOCTL numbers is badly formatted:
on several lines, the "Include File" column has some values that
are bigger than the reserved space there.
Also, on several places, a comment was misplaced at the "Include
File" space.
So, most of the work here is to actually ensure that each field
will be properly fixed.
Also worth to mention that some URLs have the asterisk character
on it. Well, Sphinx has an issue with asterisks in the middle
of an string. As this is URL, use the alternate format: %2A.
As a side effect of this patch, it is now a lot easier to see that
some reserved ioctl numbers are missing the include files
where it is supposed to be used.
PS.: While this is part of a subdir, I opted to convert this
single file alone, as this file has a potential of conflicts,
as most subsystem maintainers touch it.

Rename the mtd documentation files to ReST, add an

It should be noticed that Sphinx doesn't handle very well
URLs with dots in the middle. Thankfully, internally, the '.'
char is translated to %2E, so we can jus use %2E instead of
dots, and this will work fine on both text and processed files.

This patch continues 10dce8af3422 (fs: stream_open - opener for
stream-like files so that read and write can run simultaneously without
deadlock) and c5bf68fe0c86 (*: convert stream-like files from
nonseekable_open -> stream_open) and teaches steam_open.cocci to
consider files as being stream-like not only if they have
.llseek=no_llseek, but also if they have .llseek=noop_llseek.
This is safe to do: the comment about noop_llseek says
This is an implementation of ->llseek useable for the rare special case when
userspace expects the seek to succeed but the (device) file is actually not
able to perform the seek. In this case you use noop_llseek() instead of
falling back to the default implementation of ->llseek.
and in general noop_llseek was massively added to drivers in 6038f373a3dc
(llseek: automatically add .llseek fop) when changing default for NULL .llseek
from NOP to no_llseek with the idea to avoid breaking compatibility, if
maybe some user-space program was using lseek on a device without caring
about the result, but caring if it was an error or not.
Amended semantic patch produces two changes when applied tree-wide:
drivers/hid/hid-sensor-custom.c:690:8-24: WARNING: hid_sensor_custom_fops: .read() has stream semantic; safe to change nonseekable_open -> stream_open.
drivers/input/mousedev.c:564:1-17: ERROR: mousedev_fops: .read() can deadlock .write(); change nonseekable_open -> stream_open to fix.
